As an American, Cuba has always been a fascinating place, a forbidden land of mystery. When the travel ban was lifted, our curiosity got the best of us, so we decided on […]
Visiting Cuba: tickets, medical insurance, and visas.

Happiness is soft snow, a quiet mountain and no chairlift lines. Midweek riding with my dude makes the best memories 💙 if you’ve ever thought about skipping work to get on the mountain on a weekday, I highly recommend it. It’s a different experience compared to the weekends. Some days we’ll have a whole run to ourselves! So go ahead and call in sick 😉 #thevaliantlife #epicbynature #sponsoredbyepic
This photo will always have a special place in my heart. It was our very first trip to Moab and I can still remember how stunned I was at how beautiful and strange it was. It was surreal! We now drive out to Moab 2-3 times a year... it’s only 4 hours away and it’s one of our favorite places to camp. But every time we go, I still feel the same way I felt the first time! I’m still stunned by the beauty, it’s truly one of my favorite places on Earth. Do you have a place that takes your breath away no matter how many times you visit? #thevaliantlife #archesnp #findyourpark
I’ll be honest with you... food is my biggest struggle when I travel. I’m not picky, and I’ll try almost anything... but I just love the meals I make at home! I’m half Filipino but I rarely eat Filipino food (sorry, mom! 🤐) Not because I don’t like it, but it’s more like comfort food to me- it’s delicious but it makes me gain weight! After a week, I was extremely bloated from eating white rice everyday, I didn’t want to look at anything fried and I just wanted a good, clean vegetarian meal which was so hard to find in Bohol. •

My aunt, who likes to eat fairly clean like us, recommended @bohol_beefarm_official and we were so thankful 🙌 This was literally the only place in Bohol that served fresh, organic foods that were grown right on the property. The coffees were amazingly delicious, I was in love with their charcoal ice cream, and the views were beautiful. I left with a couple bags of goodies; their Honeyed Salabat (ginger) Tea has been keeping us warm on these snowy nights at home. I can’t say it enough, I highly recommend this place! #IloveBohol #thebuzzzcafe #foodietravel
I’ve been spending the week @keystone_resort and although it was a chilly start, it was incredibly beautiful. Keystone has opened up more terrain this week and conditions are amazing! I got out there today at 2 PM for a couple runs, initially I was mad at myself for getting there so late, but it didn’t matter! The snow was still soft ☃️ this season really feels like a dream... #thevaliantlife #epicbynature #sponsoredbyepic
Scrolling through the Instagrams of a few Vail Resorts and it looks like @stowemt is also having an amazing season! The resort looks beautiful and we’d love to visit Vermont again, but I’m honestly terrified of the cold out there. What’s your opinion of skiing out east? #thevaliantlife #epicbynature #stowemt
I’m the kind of person who gets excited every time I cross state lines.. so imagine my excitement being able to do this on my board!
So how’s the snow in Tahoe right now?? We want to make the most of our @epicpass and make a trip back out there again! #thevaliantlife #sponsoredbyepic #epicbynature #skiheavenly
I typically have a rule that if the weather at home is under 22°F (-5°C) then I refuse to hit the mountain. Today was under 22 ☃️ so we decided to bundle up, stroll around Breckenridge, drink warm drinks and think warm thoughts. And the warm thoughts led us to The Philippines ❤️ If only I could hop on a plane, get my tan back and feel the warm salty sea again... I wish it wasn’t so far!

This morning, Riley says: “Hey Mom, let’s not do any work today. Let’s do something fun... like put up the Christmas decorations then go snowboarding?” And I start laughing because he acts like he doesn’t hit the mountain 3-4 days a week! I think I’ve got a #skibum on my hands 🤣.

If you haven’t heard, @keystone_resort already got 64 inches this season... it literally keeps snowing up here that my arms have been dying from constantly shoveling snow 😅 We love Keystone because it’s so family friendly.. from the family runs, to ice skating and tubing, to all the Kidtopia events, and there’s always free cookies!! It’s only November and the season is off to a great start.. forecast is calling for snow today and tomorrow 🙌🙌❄️❄️ see you out there! #sponsoredbyepic #epicbynature
If you had a 21 hour layover in London, would you hang out in the airport or explore the city?? We decided last minute to grab a hotel (there are many right by Heathrow) then woke up super early to do the fastest tour ever of London 😆 It was quick, but SO worth it! We saw sights, drank beer, ate fish and chips, and spoke with super friendly locals. .

London has been on my travel list since I was a little girl... my grandmother on my dad’s side was from London. She met my grandpa, an American soldier, during WWII and they married in London on Christmas Day ❤️ She died when I was a baby but I always felt super close to her. So close that I remember talking to her often when I was a kid 😲 and till this day I can’t explain why! I laughed and I cried during this short tour of the city... my hope is the next time I find myself London, I’ll be able to meet my family 💕 #thevaliantlife #LondonLove #LondonBaby !
