Welcome To My Travel Channel!

In my pursuit to explore all things travel, I’ve delved into another platform… the world of YouTube!

As I gain more experience and crack the code of iMovie and HD cameras I will be uploading videos regularly, in addition to my blog posts. My video content will be a mix of first hand footage and photos of my experiences. You can expect themes like: Beauty & Fashion Tips, Product & Service Reviews, Day Trip Suggestions, & Event Coverage.

I’m even toying with a second channel, Candid Moments, which will offer a more behind the scenes, impromptu, day-in-the-life vlog style content. More on this later…

Please subscribe so you don’t miss the latest travel content on Meghan’s Guilty Pleasures Travel Blog. Join the conversation and join the community – new videos weekly!

In the comment section below, leave me your YouTube channel info and I’ll be sure to check it out.

Pinterest Collective: Loving Travel Illustrations!

I have such an indulgent soft spot for travel illustrations. 

I love their whimsical playful nature and brightly colored scenes.  I’d really love to print and frame some of these for my office.  Here’s a sampling of what I’ve been loving this week!

For more inspiration, check out my “Loving Travel Illustrations” board on Pinterest.

Hope you guys enjoy your weekend,

Have You Discovered Germany?

Are you one of the 53% of travelers that’s visited Germany for its art, architecture, food, and culture?

Recently I had the pleasure of attending the German National Tourism Board’s media luncheon.

What a vibrant & sophisticated culture! Architecture, food, and history seem ready to seize you around every corner.

In the recent past, I’ve enjoyed the opportunity of exploring a bit of Hamburg.  I found it chic, historic, beautiful, and savored the flavor!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!

Besides a festive atmosphere, colder climate, and strong sense of humor is a rich culture as well.

Proud to be Irish! 🍀

Versailles Inspired Parisian Commuter Train

How fab is this?!?!

Versailles is my number one top destination to explore at the moment.  Taking in the architecture, savoring the history, and walking the same halls as some of the most renown figures of opulence would be quite the experience.

I suppose hopping on the RER’s C-Line Parisian commuter train, fitted with grand visuals, will have you daydreaming all things Antoinette.

I found it to be an interesting concept to watch the same event with an international audience while simultaneously leaving banter and commentary to one another in real-time over social media. 

Nowadays, it’s commonplace to like, tweet, favorite, and share photos, video, and text online, but it still felt a bit surreal to simply enter in a few hashtags over Twitter to get a feel for the public’s mood.  One of the many tweets I replied to was from a Salt Lake City Utah reporter who was live in London doing coverage and I’m reading his first hand accounts in Los Angeles!  Talk about G.L.O.B.A.L.

Herb Ritts: LA Style at the Getty Center – Day Trip Travel Series

Wether you’re a local or a visitor, you need to slip away for a few hours and visit the Getty Center.  It’s the perfect venue for a day trip.

Upon arrival, you’re instantly transported into a serene and calming world.  As the winding tram makes its way up the hillside and if the smog’s cooperating,  killer views of West Los Angeles are to be had!

What I love most, it that you don’t even have to leave the city for a mini break – talk about accessible.

Initially, it was all about the Herb Ritts: LA Style photography exhibit, but I grabbed a guide anyway.  With kitten heels tapping on the limestone as I made my way out to the courtyard, I was excited about what I would encounter.
