So 24 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: many people were water rafting and taking boats out on 25 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: the lake. 26 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 2: It was really so stunning. 27 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure the hiking is amazing here, and the town 28 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: was so cute. I felt like I was in like 29 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: a little Western fantasy. There was just it reminded me 30 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: of like old town.

I had a couple good rallies. 36 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: Wouldn't say I'm like top tier, but did definitely have 37 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: a couple good rallies with Mercedes, so that was fun. 38 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: I was staying in a Verbo with Daisy from The 39 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: Bachelor and Mercedes from The Bachelor. So definitely made a 40 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: bunch of new friends on this trip and formed some 41 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: great friendships. So that was really nice. Also for all 42 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: my fans in Nevada. So sorry for saying Reno. 43 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 2: I fully thought I. 44 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: Was flying into the Reno airport. I had no idea 45 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 1: it was Reno. When I look at Reno, I mean, 46 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: coming just from an Italian background. 47 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 2: Reno is Ariano not Arino. 48 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: So I fully said in my travel blog that I 49 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: was flying from Phoenix to rennow, and I mean, I'm 50 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: so happy that you guys thought it was funny, because 51 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,399 Speaker 1: I really thought. 52 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 2: I was saying it the right way, But now I know. 53 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: I flew into Reno and I drove to Lake Tahoe. 54 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: So we arrived in Lake Tahoe on Monday. I had 55 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: a pretty long travel day because I came from Jersey, 56 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: so I flew out of Newark. Then I flew to Phoenix, 57 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: and then I had a connecting flight from Phoenix to Reno, 58 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: and I arrived in Reno, and then we. 59 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 2: Drove to Lake Tahoe. 60 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: We had about an hour and a half to get 61 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: ready and then we went to a dinner with everybody. 62 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: That was here on the trip. 63 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: So there was a lot of people from the Bachelor, 64 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation, former Bachelor Ben Higgins, and former Bachelorette Trista Sutter. 65 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: There were also. 66 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: People from The Golden Bachelor here, so that was super 67 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: nice to connect with them. I connected with Theresaist and Leslie. 68 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: They're like the cutest ever, and they were here from 69 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: the Golden Bachelor. It was really cool. Just to kind 70 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: of see their outlook on love, and I. 71 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 2: Don't know, I felt so bad for Theresa. 72 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: She was like, I'm probably never gonna find love because 73 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: men my aid want women that are fifteen years younger. Meanwhile, 74 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: she looks incredible. She takes care of herself so well, 75 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: like the way she eats, the way she exercises, it's just. 76 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: Phenomenal. 77 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: She looks incredible, So I really hope she finds love. 78 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 2: Mercedes Daisy Kent. 79 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: Then there was some Bravo people like Emily Simpson and 80 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: Kelly ben Simone. 81 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 2: So we had a great time. 82 00:04:54,839 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: Definitely really combined the Bravo world in Bachelor Nation. I 83 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: definitely am a fan of The Bachelor. I watch it 84 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: on and off, though, so I. 85 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,679 Speaker 2: Watched Daisy's season full through. 86 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: I feel like I watched it more religiously in high school, 87 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: just like I watched Dancing with the Stars more religiously 88 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,679 Speaker 1: in high school, but always was on in my house. 89 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: My mom and I would watch it when I was younger, 90 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: and was definitely always a show that I knew about. 91 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: But my friends and I did watch Daisy season all 92 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: the way through. So Jersey Shore versus Lake Tahoe totally different. 93 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: Lake Tahoe is such a chill vibe. I feel like 94 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: it's so family oriented. I know the Jersey Shore is 95 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: as well, but like just the atmosphere here, there's a 96 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: lot more nature mountains the lake versus the ocean. The 97 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: lake is crystal clear, even though I have to give it, 98 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: I have to give the Jersey Shore ocean some credit. 99 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: It has been looking really blue. 100 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: It has it's not been looking dirty, it's been looking 101 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: pretty clear. But no, it just doesn't even compare. Like 102 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: the scenery there is so beautiful in Lake Tahoe. It's 103 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: actually breathtaking. I'm gonna post a recap on my Instagram 104 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: of just some of the photos that I took. It's 105 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: really really beautiful here. The Jersey Shore doesn't give this 106 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: wow effect. One of the best parts about my job 107 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: is that I get to travel for work and I 108 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: really can work from anywhere. 109 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 2: The downside of it is obviously leaving my family and Christian. 110 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: He always drives me to the airport when I'm leaving 111 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: for work trips, and I don't know why I get 112 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: so sad when I leave him, but I guess that's 113 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: a good thing. 114 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 2: And I'm super excited to now be back home with 115 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 2: him and my family. 116 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: Communication is definitely key while traveling for work, and because 117 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: I was in Lake Tahoe, I was three hours ahead. 118 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: I would call him first thing in the mom on FaceTime. 119 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: I pretty much facetimed him up until I had to 120 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: leave for work, and throughout the day I kind of 121 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: just give him a little updates on text.
