VIDEO: Il BORRO RESORT TUSCANY x JETSETTER.COM

Published by Nicole Isaacs

My stay at Il Borro Resort in Tuscany with Jetsetter! I’ve stayed at this property a few times and it’s one of my favorite places in the world- owned by the Salvatore Ferragamo family. I learn about wine making, cook pizza and pasta, ride a horse through a Tuscan vineyard and more! Thought I’d share this video on my personal channel. Make sure to subscribe to my Youtube channel for more videos. So many more coming! Watch my experience at Il Borro here!

NEW BEGINNINGS

Published by Nicole Isaacs

I realized that I don’t ever really share a lot of personal things about me on my blog. I never really post about what’s going on in my life, or anything really about ME, except my love for travel & food. I guess because this was my travel and food blog, I never felt the need to be personal. But I feel the need to share some things now. Everyday I get asked the question how I do it.  Everyone wants to know how I travel for a living and make it my job. They see me all over the world in pictures by myself and don’t understand. I’m going to break it down for you. I have been employed by E! Entertainment since 2010, immediately after I graduated and got my degree at UCLA. I worked in production on a few shows, and landed a steady job on E! Fashion Police in 2011. I worked a 9-5 on Fashion Police for over 4 years producing for the show.  I saved my money and any time …

PLAYA DEL CARMEN & TULUM | MEXICO

Published by Nicole Isaacs

I went to Playa Del Carmen / Tulum for a day and a half! That’s how I roll. I was in and out, and it’s not the easiest to get there, but in the short amount of time I had, I did a lot. I did an excursion package called “Xplore”, which included zip lining, ATV’ing, and swimming in underground caves and Cenotes. We did it at night and it was so much fun! I wore a bathing suit because you are wet the entire time. Even zip lining you go through water. There were a bunch of different zip lines and it took 45 minutes to do all of them.  It was a cool and a different experience to zip line, ATV and swim in underground caves at night. Being in the caves felt tranquil and beautifully creepy at the same time. Playa Del Carmen is a really fun beach town with tons of bars, night clubs and shopping. The streets were crazy at night and the clubs and bars were packed. Tulum is …

S&M SAUSAGE & MEAT | SAN DIEGO

Published by Nicole Isaacs

Hi guys!!! I took a day trip to San Diego to visit my cousin Scott Slater’s new restaurant, S&M Sausage & Meat. The food was eclectic, innovate and delicious. I was in foodie heaven, for real. I have to say, every dish was amazing but my favorites were the white chocolate bacon, the “Coconut Not Mac N’ Cheese”, the Kangaroo Sausage and the “S&M PBJ”. Oh, and I can’t forget the Pig Ears! I also tried the Rabbit Poutine, Venison Meatballs, Alligator Sausage, Rosemary Bacon, & The Bacon Fat Deviled Eggs which were all delicious and very well-executed. The menu is quirky, experimental and incredibly unique, and I was so impressed with the taste and flavors of everything I tried. I’m so proud of my cousin… well done Scottie! If you are in San Diego, S&M Sausage & Meat is a must try. Take a look at the video of my S&M experience below!    

TORONTO

Published by Nicole Isaacs

I went to Toronto for the first time and I loved it! It’s such a beautiful city in the fall. I went with my sister and the two of us explored the city for a weekend. We went to the Aquarium, Trinity Bellwoods Park, shopped, went out to a couple trendy nightcubs, visited Niagara Falls, and ate our way through the city. We stayed at the Thompson Hotel which was perfectly central and conveniently located next to King St. where all the clubs, bars and great restaurants were. Check out the highlights from my trip! PS. Niagara Falls was so breathtaking!

EL NIDO, PHILIPPINES

Published by Nicole Isaacs

El Nido was so beautiful. I took so many great pictures I want to share with you! El Nido is great because it doesn’t feel touristy. I felt like I was on an island by myself with the locals. It was peaceful and quiet, and its a bunch of small islands close to one another so we did a day of island hopping and went to lagoons, caves, private beaches and went snorkeling. It was so much fun. Also if you haven’t yet, check out my El Nido zip lining video I posted in the previous post! Take a look at some of my favorite pictures and video from El Nido…

I’M A REAL MERMAID…BORACAY, PHILIPPINES

Published by Nicole Isaacs

Anyone that knows me, knows that I’ve been obsessed with mermaids my whole life. Mermaid everything growing up. Even my AOL screen name was “mermaidcutie” (I know, horrible) and I knew every word to the Little Mermaid (still do). Anyway, my Aunt sent me a link to this Philippine Mermaid Academy and said she thought of me and I had to do it. This was months ago before I even booked a trip to the Philippines. Sure enough, my best friend has been trying to get me to go to the Philippines, I had work off, so I finally decided to go. My dream finally came true! I got to be a mermaid…check out a sneak peak of my mermaid experience. More video to come, stay tuned!
