Because if we believed everything we were told, we Because if we believed everything we were told, we'd never be able to change the status quo.

I feel so grateful to be a woman because it's allowed me to feel the richness and specialness of every little experience. Because generations had to move mountains to close the gaps for us to stand where we stand. Because we get to prove people wrong. Because despite the odds we rise. 

I owe it to all the strong women in my life for making me a strong woman, too. My hope has always been to do the same for others in every room where I take up space. To lift others up with me in work, in travel, at home.

I hope that even when the world seems chaotic and bleak and unbearable you remember that you have already changed it in so many incredible ways for just existing and persisting in this time and place. We're only just getting started. 

Happy International Women's Day, friends. I am so in awe of us. ✨👯‍♀️ #IWD2023 #internationalwomensday #embracingequity
What could you do with 5 days in Los Cabos? (ITINE What could you do with 5 days in Los Cabos? (ITINERARY)

Los Cabos is known for its luxury resorts and cruise ship access, but it’s so much more!! It’s a marine lover’s dream, an adventure gateway, a wellness haven, a farm-to-fork foodie playground.... do I go on?

I love the challenge of looking a bit deeper into popular places and debunking stereotypes. Is Los Cabos a place where you go and never leave your hotel or the cruise port? It can be – the hotels are absolutely beautiful – but it doesn’t have to.

Here’s how I suggest spending a well-rounded 5 days in Los Cabos (SAVE this reel + CLICK the link in my bio for the full, detailed itinerary!):

Day 1 // Checking In
STAY – @grandvelascabos, @hotelelganzo, @bahiacabohotel
DO – Sunset sailing at El Arco & Lands End
GET AROUND – @transcabo, Uber, or rental car

Day 2 // Sightseeing in Cabo San Lucas
WATCH – Humpback whales (Dec - April) @caboadventures
DO – Cabo San Lucas Marina, shopping, and nightlife

Day 3 // Eating through San Jose del Cabo
EAT – @florafarms, @tamarindosmx, @acreresort
DO – San Jose del Cabo Art Walk (Thursdays, Nov - June)

DAY 4 // Getting Out on the Water
DO – Scuba or snorkeling @diveninjas (certification optional, beginners welcome!)

DAY 5 // Relaxing & Spa-Hopping
SWIM - Cabo swimmable beaches
DO – Spa day at @grandvelascabos

Treated myself to a solo stay in Mexico's first B- Treated myself to a solo stay in Mexico's first B-corp hotel

📍 Hotel El Ganzo, San Jose del Cabo
@hotelelganzo

In 2023, I don't think it should be novel anymore for hotels to use less single-use plastics or more organic bath products. It should be the norm. It should be what we expect and demand as travelers. But what I found so cool about this hotel was that beyond the environmental stuff, they care a lot about the way they impact their local community, too.

So that's what made me book an extra night in Cabo. To check this out for myself so I could share what a b-corp hotel could look like! And I felt like a total VIP the whole time 😌 Sunsets and sunrises at one of the coolest infinity pools I've ever seen (that's entirely heated by solar power, btw), turndown service at night, and baths with complementary beer before bed.

I loved all the places I stayed on my last trip to Los Cabos. I hope you'll save these posts and consider places like this when you go! If you missed the other hotel, scroll back! #OffDutyinMexico

Did you know 'Cabo' isn't 1 place, but several? L Did you know 'Cabo' isn't 1 place, but several?

Los Cabos (plural - 'The Capes') actually represents several cities and counties at the tip of the Baja California Sur.

1. Cabo San Lucas (most popular) 

2. The Corridor (most luxe)

3. San Jose del Cabo (most tasty)

4. Cabo Pulmo (most natural)

5. Todos Santos (most laidback)

... the list goes on. See what I mean?

So, where should you stay? It depends on the kind of trip you're looking to have. This mini guide will help you choose between Los Cabos 3 most popular areas! 👉🏽👉🏽 Check out my reel yesterday for where to stay in The Corridor, and stay tuned tomorrow for where I'd stay in San Jose del Cabo! 👈🏽👈🏽

Luxury girls' getaway meets the ultimate work-cati Luxury girls' getaway meets the ultimate work-cation 🌴

I recently had the exciting privilege of checking out the @GrandVelasCabos and immediately texted my best friend to join me! Endless views of the Sea of Cortez from almost every corner of the resort (and seeing all the whale spouts my heart could handle!), zoom calls by the pool, first-class SE Spa dates during lunch breaks, and delicious culinary adventures at night. Take me back!!

The Grand Velas Los Cabos is located on The Corridor with easy access to Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo. An all-inclusive with a recent @forbestravelguide 5-star distinction (the first and only of its kind in Mexico!) I was impressed by the level of service, the dedicated concierge, the tiered infinity pool (which the WiFi reaches! 💻), and the food. The food!! The restaurants onsite completely changed my mind about what's possible at an all-inclusive.

Would you stay here when you visit Los Cabos? Tag your best friend you'd travel with!
