Yesterday kicked off Hurricane season but did you Yesterday kicked off Hurricane season but did you know there are Caribbean islands outside of the Hurricane Belt and ones that rarely ever see hurricanes? (Save and share this post) 

Aruba, pictured here has gorgeous beaches and is one of them! The others are:

1. Curaçao 
2. St. Vincent and The Grenadines
3. Bonaire
4. Trinidad and Tobago 

Click the link in my bio for details on these islands and for my Aruba itinerary.

Personally I think you can still visit other Caribbean islands during this time. Just be sure to have reservations that are changeable in case a hurricane is in the forecast for your scheduled dates. Having grown up around hurricanes I def know they’re scary and cause extreme harm but notice is given for you to be able to adjust your plans. What are your thoughts on traveling to the Caribbean during hurricane season?

#ad We recently spent the day exploring Everglades #ad We recently spent the day exploring Everglades National Park. Of course the girls first stop was to the visitor center to pick up a Jr. Ranger workbook so they can earn another Jr. Ranger badge. We got to see lots of alligators (baby ones too), turtles and different species of birds which is exactly what the @kinderus and @nationalparkfoundation partnership is all about, learning more about the wildlife in the national parks along the Explore the Wild Treat + Toy Kinder Joy Eggs. Have you made it to any national parks this year?
Things to do in Riyadh, Saudi (save and share this Things to do in Riyadh, Saudi (save and share this post)!

1. Visit historical Diriyah! This is the birthplace of the first Saudi state, its extremely well preserved and a must see UNESCO site. We did a 2 hour guided tour and I highly recommend.

2. Have lunch at Najd Village which is a restaurant that serves traditional meals in a traditional setting (sitting on the floor, eating with your hands). The entire restaurant is built in the old Nadj lifestyle so you can see the architecture of the past. The food was amazing and the ambiance is equally beautiful.

3. Explore the red sand dunes which I highlighted in my last reel. You can do dunebashing, sandboarding, ATVing and more.

4. Walk around The Boulevard- it’s an outdoor entertainment area with shops, restaurants and more. There’s an area that replicates Times Square and then other parts reminded me on the Vegas strip, perfect place to spend an evening for dinner.

5. Face your fear of heights and walk across the skybridge at the Kingdom Centre Tower. It’s 300 meters above the ground with amazing views of the city. Don’t worry it’s enclosed!

6. Visit the National Museum of Saudi Arabia.

7. Walk around the Masmak Fort, it’s free!

8. See the Edge of the World, one of the most famous spots in Saudi.

I’m very glad I got to see Saudi for myself, next stop, exploring the city of Jeddah! Would you do any of these activities?

#Ad This summer I have plans to do a lot of outdoo #Ad This summer I have plans to do a lot of outdoor activities, and protecting my skin while being out in the sun is extremely important! Since I frequently travel with others, having a sunscreen that everyone can use is a must, which is why I’m loving the new @coppertoneusa Complete sunscreen! 

It passed the most important tests for me when looking at sunscreen, it leaves no white cast on my skin, is lightweight, moisturizing, provides UVA and UVB sun protection, and is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes! 

This new sunscreen allows me to pack light while providing the entire group with the sun protection we need. What sunny summer plans do you have? #Coppertone #ItsGreatOutdoors

“There’s no dream too big or too small”, tha “There’s no dream too big or too small”, that’s the mantra of the girls favorite gymnast, Simone Biles, and one we personally live by. They’re in gymnastics and swim and outside of these regular activities you’ve all seen them try skiing, surfing, hang-gliding and more. None of these come easy but they know that there is nothing they can’t accomplish as long as they work towards their goals just as Simone Biles does. They were so excited to find out Simone has her own collection at @athleta and are now convinced these outfits give them super powers🤣. Which one of these outfits is your favorite? #PowerOfShe #AthletaGirl #AthletaPartner
There’s more to Jordan than Petra and Wadi Rum! There’s more to Jordan than Petra and Wadi Rum! We got to spend time in Feynan and one morning while there Jordyn and I woke up early to go on a hike through this nature reserve. Our @nike gear from @kohls was perfect for the climate. 

We both loved that we matched from head to toe in our #nikesportswear and we’re able to find attire in beautiful colors. You can actually walk from Petra to Feynan, it only takes 3 days 😅 and lots of people do it. While the two of us did not do that we loved exploring this land of the Bedouin. 

What have been the best/most memorable places you have hiked? #kohlsfinds #kohlspartner

The Dosh App is the Best Thing to Happen to Hotel Bookings

July 23, 2019      Affording Travel, Hotel Reviews, Reviews

This post contains affiliate links. If you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no cost to you. Please see our disclosure policy for more information. All opinions are my own.

I discovered the Dosh App earlier this year and it instantly became one of the ways my family saved money to travel. We thought the cash back they offer for shopping at participating stores was amazing and couldn’t get better but we were wrong. They just launched their travel feature which gives gives cash back on hotels! Just like the restaurants and stores this is in addition to any points or miles you earn from using your debit or credit card to make the purchase. If you aren’t using this feature you are seriously missing out on amazing savings.

So how much cash back can you get from booking your hotel through the Dosh App? As an example, we just spent a weekend in Key West and used the Dosh App to book our hotel. The cash back offer on the Key West Marriott Beachside Hotel where we stayed for two nights was $173.15. Who doesn’t want to shave that much off their accommodations spend? We were able to use that 25% cash back for meals and activities on our trip. The crazy part is that’s not even the highest possible cash back offer. Some hotels are offering 40% cash back through the app!

How to Search for Hotels Through the Dosh App

Within the Dosh App you will type your destination and dates and then search for rooms. You can sort your search by lowest to highest cost, most cash back or filter it by specific hotel names or amenities you require. It’s very easy to use and a simple process.

What’s the Catch with Booking Your Hotel Through the Dosh App?

Don’t worry you aren’t losing anything by booking your hotel through the Dosh App. It’s like using any other 3rd party booking platform, except this one comes with major perks. Before booking our hotel I double checked the price for our room directly on Marriott’s website and it was the same. The only difference was now we saved $173.15 where as booking through Marriott we would have gotten nothing in return. You can still collect your hotel loyalty points by asking the desk agent to add your Bonvoy number or whatever hotel’s loyalty program you’re apart of to your reservation at check-in. 

How was our check-in process? It was seamless! I provided my name and my reservation was found immediately and as it should it showed we already paid for our room. We were given our room keys and wished a happy stay. Our room was perfect and clean and exactly what we booked. 

Our favorite parts about the hotel was the 24 hour pool and the free shuttle into town which runs until 11PM. Parking in Key West can at times be difficult or expensive so we were thrilled to have this option. 

How to Get Your Cash Back for Booking Hotels Through the Dosh App

So when and how do you get your cash back? You will see your cash back pending as soon as you book your hotel through the app. After completing your hotel stay your cash back will move to your available balance on our around 30 days after your stay. The money in your available balance can be transferred directly to your bank account, PayPal account or can be donated to the charity of your choice.

The Dosh App expanding their cash back to hotels is the best thing to happen to budget travel. If you aren’t already using the Dosh App you’re missing out on a lot of savings. Download it here using my referral link and get a bonus just for signing up. Plus if you refer your friends and they book a hotel now through the end of August, you can get $25! So what are you waiting for, download the free Dosh App today. Happy travels!
