Es mi primera vez en Irlanda y he oído muchas cosas buenas sobre la ciudad. Me he estado preparando para este viaje desde hace un tiempo y finalmente llegó el momento de hacer las maletas. ¿Por qué elegí Dublin? Bueno, para empezar, siempre he querido conocer la cultura irlandesa y conocer a la gente amable y acogedora de Irlanda. Además, Dublin tiene una gran cantidad de lugares históricos y atracciones turísticas que estoy ansioso por visitar. Algunos de los lugares que tengo en mi lista son: La fábrica de Guinness: Una atracción icónica en Dublin, donde se puede aprender sobre la historia de la cerveza Guinness y cómo se produce. Trinity College: Una universidad histórica con edificios y jardines impresionantes, y donde se puede ver el famoso Libro de Kells. El Castillo de Dublín: Un castillo medieval que ha sido utilizado como fortaleza, prisión, tesorería y residencia real. El Barrio de Temple Bar: Una zona animada con pubs, tiendas, restaurantes y música en vivo. Para asegurarme de que no me pierdo nada durante mi viaje, he comprado entradas para todas estas atracciones en línea.

Y para que terminen este blog aprendiendo algo, aquí les dejo 10 cosas que no sabias sobre Dublin Dublín es conocida como la "Ciudad Esmeralda" debido a su exuberante paisaje verde.

Photo Guide: Lake Tahoe Instagrammable Locations

Most popular for the winder months, Lake Tahoe is a great place to visit during summer months as well! This guide will tell you my favorite spots for taking photos on Lake Tahoe. This list with the most Instagrammable spots in Reno Tahoe that will make you want to visit asap! 1. SECRET COVE HIKING TRAIL Secret Cove is hands down my favorite spot to take photos at so keep scrolling for the other spots we found here. We were not planning on hiking down but because we got there by midday we had to park by the street and park out way down. There were many cars parked there so no worries about that, and the view was worth it so it was a win-win It is located on Tahoe's east shore and you can get there directly off Route 28 or from the Parking Lot. This is also a popular spot for kayakers and paddle-boarders. 2. SECRET COVE END OF TRIAL If you park on the streets, hike al the way down, and you will find these huge rocks. We did not see anyone in this location so it might not be so popular but the photos turned out great 3. SECRET COVE BEACH The water in Lake Tahoe is DREAMY to shoot at and the colors are super clear. This beach is the perfect space for great background and you can even see the bottom of the lake here. The water is clear blue and the rock formations are perfect for amazing photos. It is located on Tahoe's east shore and you can get there directly off Route 28 or from the Parking Lot. This is also a popular spot for kayakers and paddle-boarders. I would recommend getting there as early as possible if you plan of parking there, we got there by midday and had to park bu the road and hike all the way down, but we got a good view, keep scrolling to see the other spots. 4. ZEPHYR COVE BEACH This is a great spot to spend the day at, there are tables for bbq, there is a store to get food at and you can even rent kayaks in there. I would recommend you to come here early since you need to park inside and there is not a ton of parking. Also there is a fee to get in and you have to pay to get in. The Kayak was $40 hour for two people. 5. EMERALD BAY This is such a cool spot to take photos at, and there is no hike required so that gives it another point. It is located north of South Lake Tahoe, Emerald Bay State Park, there is a parking fee but it is hourly so totally worth it for the view and the photos. 6. DRIVE AROUND THE LAKE There are ton of places where you can stop by on your way to the other spots so feel free to enjoy the ride and make stops, mostly during sunset where the popular places are usually packed. 7. LAKE TAHOE VIEWPOINT AT SUNSET CAMERA GEAR I USED ON THIS TRIP Have you ever been to Lake Tahoe? What are your favorite photo locations? Please share in the comments below!

10 of the top Las Vegas Instagram Stops

10 of the top Las Vegas Instagram Stops

Looking for locations to take photos in Las Vegas? Here are my top locations, you will see hotels and some other a little far from the main street but that are worth the drive. Here are the best photo spots in Las Vegas, find the specific location (with address) and some tips to get the perfect photo/video The BEST part? The hotels I mention as locations, you DON'T need to stay in them to take the photos. How to Get to The Photo Locations You can always order an Uber/Lyft or even take the bus, but the Las Vegas strip is very walkable and you can also find good spots just by walking from one of the stops to the next one. Just a note; be prepared to have a ton of people walking alongside you from place to place, and also, there will be people smoking since it is legal there. So just be aware of your belongings and enjoy the walk! 1 - “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” Sign I did not get to see the sign BUT I have heard this is one of the places that taking an uber/lyft might be worth since it is a little far from the main hotels and attractions. ALSO, there is a huge line at all times so tips I have seen online are: 1. Go early morning, since the latest, the more people you will find 2. Shoot from a different point of view, and find a way not to have the people in your background 2 - The Bellagio Fountains Right in front of the Paris Paris, you will find the Bellagio fountains, this is one of the most iconic spot for photos in Las Vegas! If you want to enjoy the show, I would recommend night time 100%. The show of the Bellagio fountain show happens from Monday to Friday every 30 mins from 3pm to 8pm and every 15 minutes from 8pm to 11:55pm. Location - '3650 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109' 3 - Eiffel Tower View From The Bellagio An amazing point of view of the Eiffel Tower is from the Bellagio's fountain, you can shoot the Eiffel Tower from top to bottom in one shoot. Location - 'Bellagio Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89109' 4 - Trevi Fountain at Cesars Palace This fountain is a replica to the Trevi Fountain and it is located right outside the main entrance of the Cesar's Palace. It is not easy to get a good shoot since it is right by the walkway but be patient and your shoot will be amazing. Location - 'Trevi Fountain, Las Vegas, NV' 5 - The Venetian Stairs The details in the Venetian were my favorite. There are so many good spots to shoot at that there are more than one points from this Hotel. From the stairs you can take all of these shoots, so feel free to save these for inspo. Location - 'The Venetian Las Vegas, South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV' 6 - Gondolas at the Venetian You can also get a ride on the gondolas but I am not sure they sun during the day, or at least they were not when we visited. Location - 'The Venetian Las Vegas, South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV' 7 - The Venetian Viewpoint This are one of my favorite locations, and the photos from here are amazing. Location - 'The Venetian Las Vegas, South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV' 8 - The Venetian Bridge Another great location to shoot at The Venetian, and it is right outside the main entrance, just add the location to your maps and you will find it. Location - 'The Venetian Las Vegas, South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV' 9 - Valley of Fire State Park This is a little of a road trip since it is not on the main street, we went with our car but you can book a tour that brings you to the state park. If you plan of stopping I would 100% recommend you rent a car so there is no rush and you can enjoy your day in the park. 10 - Seven Magic Mountains This is another road trip to get to the location but quick a shorter one, you can get to The Seven Magic Mountains in 25-30 minutes. This place is ALSO packed at all times so go there as early as possible to have fewer people in your photos. We visited around 1pm and this place was packed! I am not sure there are tours to bring you here, but I would also recommend you rent a car for this little road trip!
I hope you’re excited to check out these Las Vegas photo spots! Please share this post to Pinterest!

Day Trip at Valley of Fire State Park

Day Trip at Valley of Fire State Park

Valley of Fire, in Nevada, is a state park known for its stunning red sandstone formations, which illuminate the valley, especially at sunset, making it look as though it's on fire. Valley of Fire is a small park but with many hiking trails and interesting rock formations. Location - 29450 Valley of Fire Hwy, Overton, NV 89040, United States It is located about 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas. Valley of Fire makes the perfect day trip from Las Vegas and even Los Angeles f you want to enjoy nature and don't mind driving. Time, it is open from sunrise to sunset. So arrive early to take advantage of all the light. Price , the entrance fee is $10 per car per day and $15 for cars from out of state. If you are planning on camping then it will be $20 and if you have a National Park Pass, it does NOT apply to any state parks. Food , stay hydrated and bring snacks, bring you own snack and even though each hike might sound short and easy, the warm sun and sandy air will keep you looking for water the entire time. Hiking, I recommend the Fire Wave Trail, it is an unique slickrock. Heading there first things means cooler temperatures and fewer people in the photos. It is a 1.5 mile round trip hike with an elevation gain of 180 feet. It can take from 45 to 60 minutes. It is an easy hike. How to get to Fire Wave Trail , from the visitor center, take White Domes Road/Mouse’s Tank Road into the park for 4.7 miles. Park in parking lot #3. The trailhead is across the street from the parking lot. We also went to the White Domes Trail , it is a 1.2 mile hike and you even get to walk through a small slot canyon. The start of the trail takes you between two large rocks and you get an impressive and colorful view of the canyon below you. This hike has an elevation gain of 150 feet takes between 30 to 45 minutes. It is considered an easy hike. How to get to the White Domes Trail , from the visitor center, take White Domes Road/Mouse’s Tank Road into the park for 5.6 miles until the road dead-ends at the parking lot for the While Domes Loop. It is a small park but there are many points of interest such as Mouse’s Tank, Rainbow Vista, White Domes, Atlatl Rock, Arch Rock and Seven Sisters . Pink Pastel Canyon - Mouse Tank Road Amenities: Camping : There are two campgrounds with 72 units. All campsites are first-come, first-served. RV Camping : RV sites with power and water hookups are available.

Plan a Romantic Picnic - Valentine's Day Date Idea

Plan a Romantic Picnic - Valentine's Day Date Idea

Valentine’s is close so here is my favorite idea for a date, a PICNIC. Since every year everything is packed during Valentine's Day with my partner we have started going out and doing picnics, it can be at the park or even at the beach. We started with plastic boxes and towels and slowly we have gotten blankets, coolers and baskets to bring to out picnics. I will link the things we use at the end of this post!
The Essentials Large picnic blanket - this is important to make sure you are comfortable, if you don’t have any just make sure to bring a couple towels and place them together. I have seen so many cute colors and prints, but one think I recommend is to use one that is waterproof. You can buy them from Amazon or even Target. Cooler bags and Ice - this is important t for me since I like my wine cold, we have a small bag that in insulated and works like a cooler. We love ours because it is big enough for the two of us but there are a ton of different prices and sizes so make sure to check around, ours is from Amazon Cups, plates and napkins - its sounds obvious but believe me, I have forgotten this and it is not fun to clean it all in the sea I usually buy disposable ones that do not need to be cleaned, I usually buy the cheap ones at Target but I found these cute ones online Food and drinks - I love taking wine in can like the one I showed last year from @stella and for food it can vary from a cheese table to a pizza Cheese Table - if you love cheese and charcuterie, I would say to go to Costco/Sams to get all you need and create your own cheese table right at the beach In Sams/Costco you can find even cheese tables done but I have never tried them, we usually buy cheese, jam, jelly and fruits all in the same place Water - I know it does sound like the most fun thing to bring but you might need it after that much cheese Entertainment - we usually take playing cards and we can spend hours and hours playing and eating the food Here are my favorites for picnic dates: Now, are you ready for a picnic? Whats your favorite beach food?

Other places you DEFINETLY should visit while in Toronto are: Casa Loma - It is a Gothic style mansion and garden in midtown Toronto that is now a historic house museum and landmark. Due to its unique architectural character in Toronto, Casa Loma has been a popular filming location for movies and television.

Blogging Mistakes I Made as a Begginner

Blogging Mistakes I Made as a Begginner

Hello there! Welcome to a new blog post! Blogging has become an excellent tool for content creators, influencers, entrepreneurs and pretty much all kind of business has taken advantage of it. With a blog you can grow traffic and build a reputation online, for that reason they’re investing their time and money in writing and promoting them. Sometimes, when you are new to blogging chances are that you will make a couple of mistakes in the process of launching a new blog and keep it running. Just when people start a new job, they usually mess things up at the beginning. Today I will share with you some mistakes I used to make at the beginning of blogging. - Not Defining Your Target Audience . This was one of my first common mistakes. The target audience for any kind of business is the group of people who are most likely to be interested in your offerings because it fulfills their specific needs. It’s essential to know relevant and specific details about your audience then with that information you can make a successful blog strategy that appeals to your audience and helps you stand out in the search engine ranks. - Blogging Inconsistently. Don’t Stop Writing!!! This is a common mistake, if your blog drives a good chunk of traffic to your site, it’s never a good idea to pause content creation. One of the biggest reasons people visit your blog is because of the fresh content they get to read on your site. If you put a pause on that your audience could lost interest in it. Sometimes when we get unmotivated we tend to stop posting, for that it’s ESSENTIAL to have a posting schedule!! - Deviating from the Target Niche. While we try to write new blog posts its very common to deviate from our niche! to cover a wide range of topics to appeal to a mass audience. The problem is that we don’t know what the audience wants to read or whether your audience will like what you write. No matter if you are an individual blogger or a business blogger, you should target a specific niche to blog about. This will help you reach out to the right audience for your business, also, your engagement rate and grows on your blog will increase and It will be easier for you to create your authority as a blogger on that specific niche. - Publishing Short Content Frequently. As I mention before the consistency is the KEY in blogging successfully, also its important to create content that span the topic you are writing about, its recommended to all bloggers to focus on creating long-form content of 2,000 words or more to answer as many questions as possible on a given topic instead of writing short content of 1,000 words or below every day. - Have No Blogging Goals . At the beginning its important to set minor goals to help you stay motivate, focus and consistent! No matter if you are a part – time blogger you should be setting short time goals. Ask yourself where do you want to see your blog grow in the next three months? When you’ve goals, you create a clearer picture and it makes it easy for you to prepare an action plan! - Focusing Too Much on SEO. If you want to improve your online visibility content, however you shouldn’t be prioritizing SEO over user experience. The first step in writing SEO content is to drive a keyword research. It will help you find the terms or phrases that can be added to your content to enhance its online visibility. - Not Using Google Analytics. This tend to happen to every new blogger. Why is so important to check out our statistics? When you know your audience demographics, high peak times, page views and more, you can improve your blogging strategy! For this you can use a tool called “google analytics” It helps to figure out the best-performing pages, and how you can improve those pages and it also determines what pages are slowing your site. - NOT Having a Mail List. Email marketing is enormous! Though social media is fast and this is where the message circulates easily but emails are still effective. If you have a blog and you want to turn it into a business in future, then having an email list is crucially important, also is a great way of interacting with your audience!! - NOT Using a Social Share Button . If you’re missing this step you’re already losing readers, it’s so important your audience can share easily your content to other platforms. It’s easy to use a plugin, and activate it on your website. Some free options are social pug, warfare, Sumo me. - NOT being authentic. The competition online is HUGE! Almost every niche is crowded, you need to show yourself a genuine person to build a following. Your readers want a trusted person to share their experiences, so start creating unique content, content that you actually like and stop copying others! just get inspired and transform your own ideas! - NOT Promoting Blog Content. Promoting your content is so important to increase its reach. You must promote your blog posts on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn to increase your content visibility. As you see there are a lot of mistakes we tend to do as we start blogging! We all have been there! The best thing is to identify such blogging mistakes and grow faster. I hope this tips help you avoid this kind of mistakes! What other tips have you made while starting blogging?

How to Make Pinterest Pins go VIRAL?

How to Make Pinterest Pins go VIRAL?

drive traffic to your blog with these tips! Hello there! Welcome to a new blog post. As we know Pinterest is one of the major traffic sources for bloggers! Because of that is so important to create pinnable images that are aesthetically pleasing. If you are not getting viral pins or any traffic from Pinterest, then you need to work on the Pins you are creating. But first what is a "viral pin"? A pin that has become incredibly popular in hours or days by being shared by most Internet users. How can I make my pin go viral? There are certain things you can do to greatly increase your chances that your pin goes viral, and today I'm going to show you the tips that have helped me increased my viral pins and blogger traffic. 1. Use pin-worthy image. Pinterest is all about images! It is a visual discovery engine for finding ideas and more. So, there is a big impact on Images because it helps people to decide your pin is worth clicking or not. When deciding on the image to use, you want to ensure it makes sense for Pinterest, here are 2 tips to create catchy images for Pinterest: You should be creating vertical tall images instead of horizontal pics . Long vertical images usually perform the best because it takes up more space in the Pinterest feed. The sizes of your Pinterest Pin are so important. If you don't have the right size, you are setting yourself up for failure. Pinterest has always said the perfect pin ratio is 2:3. So never use square images. They are not aesthetically pleasing and Pinterest will less likely show your pin as they don't like square images. Good Quality Image . The appealing of the images is everything. Stay away from blurry photos. Always go for high-resolution, eye-catching photos. You can either take your photos or use stock photos. There are a lot of free stocks photos you can use, the problem is because is free it's used a lot by many people meaning your image would be repeated, you can also use the sites of stock photos that are paid, they tend to perform better because Pinterest sometimes gets saturated with all the same images. You can get really good paid stock photos using Shutterstock and Deposit photos. 2. Use catchy Pins titles: This is very important if you want to get a lot of traffic on your social media with a viral pin, the first thing you can do before picking a title is to think If you want to click any pin, ask yourself, why would you click it? ."Eyeball-Grabbing Titles Are Everything" If your blog titles are thump, it will get less traffic even if the blog content is outstanding. Even if your content is not that great but has a title that stands out, blog views are more consistent. Also, go bold!!! As your scrolling through Pinterest, you might become most drawn to pins with bolder text. The bolder the text the easier it is to read. The pins that get re-pinned the most on Pinterest are the ones with bold text. Go big and go bold. 3. Use Keywords. They would be your best ally if you want to make sure the right people find your content. You must use words that fit into your niche, and by now you must be wondering how can I find Keywords? Well, the easiest way is to search for "blogging" on Pinterest and it would give you suggested terms, and these terms are your keywords. 4. Use hashtags. Using hashtags is one of the best ways to tell Pinterest which categories are related to your pins. Once you put a hashtag on a description of a new pin, users can click on that and find other pins for those who tagged on the same hashtag. It also worked with the Pinterest search so that if someone typed the hashtag #Blogging and all of the related pins about Blogging came up with the search result. Simply, put your most important facts on description first, and never overuse hashtags. 5. Keep Repining I recommend pinning your post to multiple boards and group boards that are associated with the pin. "Pinterest Group Boards are the best way to increase your reach, repines, and clicks. All you need to do is, find group boards related to your niche and ask to join". Also If you want a viral pin you have to re-pin your image more than once. There is no limit on how much your re-pin. Just make sure you don't do it too much, or you could lose followers. 6. Use a good Pin description . You need to tell the platform what your pin is actually about. Meaning, you have to specify in the pin itself that your pin is about a certain topic for this you need to write a good catchy description! 7. Mind your popular pins. "Popular pins hold some past success points with themselves" So Pinterest might favor those over new pins as they have proven to be high quality before. To know which pins are popular, go to your WordPress statistics or google analytics and search for your top referrer, in the Pinterest area, see the top pins that bring you more traffic and repine those pins to other group boards. 8. Colors are important. Some colors are known to be pinned more than others. People are drawn to certain colors, so create pins with bright and warm colors. Don't use dark colors. You want your pin to pop and stand out to people as they scroll through Pinterest. 9. Ask your followers to Pin it! A call to action to "pin me for later!" has been proven to help increase your engagement. A lot of them will be more than happy to share. Especially if they enjoy your post and content and thought it offered them valuable information. Also when creating your blog, you want to make sure you install a "social share plugin" this will help your readers to easily share your blog post to their social platform of choice. All they have to do is click the share button and they can easily promote your blog. So make sure you add at least one pinnable image to your blog post. This way your readers can easily share it to Pinterest. By now you must be wondering, How exactly do I know if My Pin went viral? You can check your analytics using Pinterest Analytics & Google Analytics, there you can check your high impressions your saves, and high clicks. So, which one means I went viral? All three work together. "Pinterest runs on a smart feed, so they will display your content to multiple people (impressions) and based on if they liked your content (saves) and/or loved your content (clicks) Pinterest will know if they need to show your content to even more pinners (more impressions)" As you can see, getting a viral pin is not an easy task, you need to look into a lot of aspects to get it right, and not every time it is in your control. But a few things that I mentioned above are enough to make your pins more popular. I hope you found these tips useful, and let me know if you have other tips that could work for pins to go viral!!
