Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, but I’ve been SO busy with my move to New York! I accepted my next job as a Reporter in the largest market in the world – New York! I’ll be covering all of Long Island for FiOS NY1! That being said…The City Slicker will too! Can’t wait to show you my new home!
If you have any places you’d like be to write about or any collaboration ideas, feel free to send me an email!
See you soon…Catch Me If You Can!
This week on The City Slicker, I’m taking you to a place where wine enthusiasts have plenty to toast to… Daniel Vineyards looks like a piece of Napa Valley, but in the mountain state valley. And It tastes that way too!
…
This week on The City Slicker, I’m taking you to… The New River Gorge Bridge Walk!
While every resident and visitor of West Virginia has driven over the famous New River Gorge Bridge…. How many of you have dared to walk right under it?!
You’ll experience the walk of your life on the catwalk, underneath the bridge that’s 851 feet high.
…
One of the greatest gems I’ve seen since I moved to West Virginia two months ago…
Located amid the breathtaking mountains, The Greenbrier is a National Historic Landmark and world-class resort that has been welcoming guests from around the world since 1778.

If you could take one vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go? South Africa was my family’s top choice.
Because I have written a lot on the topic of once-in-a-lifetime vacations, adventures, and “Bucket List” experiences, I’ve been blessed to be able to visit some of the most interesting places in the world, from Ibiza to Dublin to skydiving and skiing in the Swiss Alps, and thinking about all of the places I’ve been, I realize how hard it is to top South Africa.
The main reason people tend to go on vacation to Africa is to go on safaris and see all the wild animals the massive content offers. But, South Africa offers far more to see and do than “just” safaris. In South Africa, you really can have it all – and with the favorable exchange rate and cost of living, it is a bargain, especially for food, drinks, and shopping! What was even better than all of this? The impeccable service. We stayed at the 12 Apostles Hotel and Spa during our time in Cape Town, and were treated like nothing less than royalty.
While the quality of wildlife might be equaled in other places, the quality of the experience is not: South Africa has by far the best collection of luxury safari lodges. We stayed at the private game reserve of Kapama Karula. We had our own personal waiter for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as our own game ranger and tracker for all 5 days!
Going to Africa was most definitely the best experience – and trip, I’ve ever had. There are not enough words to explain how incredible our two weeks in South Africa were, but here’s a recap video of our trip that could give you just a little glimpse. As well as the day by day itinerary we had!
