Hello
Nice to meet you.

If you love art and unique shopping, you must visit Shop SCAD down Bull Street. It is a beautiful boutique filled with amazing artwork, jewelry, and designs made by local students and alumni.

If you’re looking for a funny and very unusual Vegas experience, check out Puppetry of the Penis! I went on a date thinking there were going to be actual penis puppets… nope. 😂 The performers were completely naked and the “puppetry” was definitely not what I had pictured!
Once I got over the initial surprise, it was…

Nice place for drinks , food and hookah if you like it

Rodeo Drive | Beverly Hills, California
Rodeo Drive is one of those destinations where the experience begins before you ever enter a boutique.

Enjoy the atomosphere where good food can be found in any restaurant you pick in town with

This is the best spot for buying stockpiled TCGs, d&d odds and ends, and other pop culture items! They also sell gently used game comsoles of both the current AND retro variety.

I’ve heard so much about this museum, I would love to visit it.

Some of the best ways to get from point A to point B in NYC is by train. It’s quick and sufficient.
It’s like going to another planet. You need to try and spend three or more days here to get the full relaxation feeling. It’s about 3500 feet elevation. Must book well in advance to get campsites or you could stay close by. Bridal Falls and the mist trail are one of my favorite hikes. They have a nice food court, but…
