I’ve been all over the place organizing my book tour and haven’t been able to plan a #DCTravelBlogger Meetup in a while. I truly love getting together with this fantastic group of travel media professionals. I was finally able to get the gang together for a fun evening at the beautiful rooftop of Buena Vida Social Club in Clarendon.<\/p>\n Buena Vida Social Club<\/a> is an “instaworthy” rooftop bar at Buena Vida Restaurant in Arlington with a Mexican-inspired menu with fresh guacamole, delectable tacos, and fresh ceviches. Tip: you must try their brunch<\/a>! The rooftop is an escape from the day to day life in DC: bright colors, friendly staff, and stunning views of the sunset.<\/p>\n I’ve been thinking of rebranding from #DCTravelBlogger for a while because the group is so much more than just bloggers. We have travel writers, lifestyle bloggers, influencers, travel public relations professionals, vloggers, tour operators, among others. Thought the name #DCTravelCreator was more fitting for a diverse group in Washington, DC who share their passion for sharing travel stories.<\/p>\n Bloggers, writers, and other travel media professionals joined us for a fun evening of networking. Guests included seasoned travel writers such as Troy Petenbrink<\/a> and Jessica Moss to lifestyle influencers such as Carla of SpicyCandyDC<\/a> and Barnette Holston<\/a> of DCFashionFool to popular travel bloggers such as Ashlee Tuck of Will Drink for Travel<\/a> and Alex Tracy<\/a>, the editor of Travel Latina to TV personality Bren Herrera<\/a>.<\/p>\n This beautiful evening was sponsored by Park Royal Golden Resort<\/a>, a beautiful all-inclusive property in Cancun, Mexico. The hotel shared their signature cocktail recipe, The Ekinox with Buena Vida Social Club. We sipped the coconut and rum-based drink that automatically transported us to the tropics.<\/p>\n What’s a DC party without a fun gift bag? Our Park Royal Golden Resort gift bag was filled with some fun goodies that I fan run curating: eco-friendly glass straws by Heart Straws<\/a>, a fragrant box of spices by Spice Madam<\/a>, the latest issue of Washingtonian Magazine<\/a>, a deck of Travel Banter Cards<\/a> created by fellow travel writer, Nicolette Olermans, and small-batch tea bags by Paromi<\/a>.<\/p>\n Truly enjoy bringing people together to talk travel and share our experiences. I am all about community over competition and very happy that we have such a collaborative and inclusive group of travel bloggers, writers, and other creators in Washington, DC. Are you a #DCTravelCreator? Please reach out so we can add you to our list!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been all over the place organizing my book tour and haven’t been able to plan a #DCTravelBlogger Meetup in a while.
