    Instagram vs. reality: Arizona edition 💀🌵 Ti Instagram vs. reality: Arizona edition 💀🌵 Tips for hiking in Arizona 👇🏼

[SAVE & SHARE]

Basically all of the famous Instagram spots in Sedona, Arizona,  require steep climbs and rock scrambling, but the pretty pictures make the hikes look easy. Here’s what to know.

1. Bring hiking boots with good traction.

I saw some people with tennis shoes, and they were slipping like crazy. If you have older hiking boots, test the traction before you leave to make sure you don’t need to buy a new pair.

2. Bring extra water.

We went through our 2L hydration bladders full of water by mile 3 every day. Do yourself a favor and bring more water than you think you’ll need. People die on these trails because of dehydration!

3. Come prepared to climb.

If you visit the caves, you will be climbing high, slippery ledges. Some hikes even require vertical rock climbing experience (I’m looking at you, Keyhole Cave). Always watch your footing and be EXTRA careful.

Would you brave these Sedona hikes?

[SAVE & SHARE]

I’ve stayed at countless luxury hotels on a budget — including The Pfister, Pheonix Copenhagen, fancy Hilton franchises and the W Seattle (Ed Sheeran also happened to be staying there), just to name a few.

Here’s how!

1. Checking @hotwire, and filtering by hotel class and prices low to high.

2. Booking through @safaratravels to earn 10% cash back on every single booking. (Use the link on my profile to get $50 off your first booking!)

3. Adding reservation notes when I’m celebrating a big day (wedding, anniversary, honeymoon, birthday, etc.) to get free upgrades! I never expect to get anything free, but I always add it to the reservation notes just in case they offer celebratory amenities. My last anniversary stay, we got a free king suite upgrade, champagne toasts (plural), free dessert and free drinks. 🔥

4. Travel hacking, AKA using paid-off credit card points to book free hotel stays.

    7 places in Northern Ireland you NEED to visit 🇬🇧

[SAVE & SHARE]

Did you know Northern Ireland and Ireland are completely separate countries?

It’s true! Northern Ireland is still part of the UK, which means the UK flag is flown and pounds (£) is the currency used.

The Republic Of Ireland (AKA Ireland), on the other hand, is part of the EU, which means the Irish flag is flown and euro (€) is the currency used.

Regardless, when you visit Ireland, you CAN’T miss visiting Northern Ireland too.

Here are the 7 best things to do in Northern Ireland:

1. Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge
2. The Dark Hedges
3. Walking alpacas with @northcoastalpacas
4. Giant’s Causeway
5. Mussenden Temple
6. Downhill Beach
7. Dunluce Castle
