• That’s Me In The New Martin Garrix + Tiesto Video

    mgtvid

    As some of you may know, I’ve been hosting the Ultra Music Festival live streams for a few years now. One of the perks (besides lots of unnecessary, yet colorful wristbands, partying on giant yachts with famous DJ’s, traveling to exotic locations, having a front row “seat” for the best sets, and making everyone hate me with this parenthetical) is an awesome surprise like this one! I have a cameo in the new Martin Garrix + Tiesto music video The Only Way Is Up.

    The video has a slice of life concept. It follows two of the world’s most famous and accomplished DJ’s on their various gigs. One of the stops on their itinerary is the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. The clip catches me as I interview Tiesto for the UMFTV YouTube channel; the in-depth interview will be coming out soon.

    But until the interview drops, check out the video below and look for me at the 1:56 mark!

    My #SuperSecretTravelTVShow

    post1

     

    Something big is happening!

    You may recognize the pretty blonde in the picture as my How 2 Travelers co-host Rachel Rudwall. We are filming something together, which may sound extraordinarily dull as we film a YouTube show every week. BUT, this is different. It’s for TV, as in “OG”, linear television. It involves travel. AND… that’s about all I can tell you. Oh, besides the fact that it’s going to be your new guilty pleasure and I’m totally okay with that.

    Until then, check my Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. I’ll be using the hashtag #SuperSecretTravelTVShow for all the posts where I can announce more information.

    In the mean time, here are some exclusive behind the scenes photos from the shoot!

    Enjoy! I can’t wait to share more with you soon!

  • Avengers: Age of Ultron World Premiere

    marvelgg

     

    Today is the premiere of Avengers: Age of Ultron a.k.a. the movie I’ve been geeking about for three years now. In honor of this glorious event, I wanted to take a minute to share how wonderful and surreal it’s been to be part of the Marvel Family. For two years now, I’ve been hosting Marvel’s Live Red Carpet Show for all their world premieres.

    For Thor: The Dark World, I co-hosted alongside Tamara Krinsky and E!’s Ben Lyons. This was my first time as part of the Disney/Marvel Universe, and man it felt good! Not only was I correspondent on the red carpet, I also MC’d a few events at the El Capitan theater afterwards with Stan Lee and Jamie Alexander.

    For Captain America: The Winter Soldier, it was just the two of us girls. I worked that red carpet for Cap, presenting from the heart of the television interview area, to the arrivals, and introducing the entire cast in a firework finish at the end of the carpet.

    Last summer, which seems like just yesterday, I donned my favorite Jetsons-inspired outfit (and my only Jetsons-inspired outfit) for The Guardians of The Galaxy premiere. This was an especially incredible event as the premiere was held across the street from the usual El Capitan location to The Dolby Theater. You may have heard of this theater, I don’t know, maybe because of a little show called the Oscars? So, being on that stage, introducing the cast of Guardians of The Galaxy, and pretending I was Ellen was pretty much as good as the real thing as far as I’m concerned.

    So, in honor of all the joy is this Universe has brought me, here are some of my favorite Marvel moments.

    VICE: Japan’s War on Dance

    tuxpi.com.1417411155

     

    So… this happened!

    That expensive journalism degree from NYU was finally put to good use! Mom- I told you it would all be worth it!

    I did a story for VICE’s Electronic Dance Music channel THUMP while I was in Tokyo. The story is about the Fuieho Law: an outdated law that is being used to ban dancing in nightclubs across Japan. Yes, Fuieho is a real thing.

    This was a really new experience as I pitched, produced, and hosted the 12 minute segment. I’m really proud of how it came together and the team at VICE and THUMP is nothing short of amazing: supportive, smart, and talented. I’ve been a big fan of VICE News for some years now, binging on hard news stories like the ebola outbreak and ISIS. If you’re wondering what I do in my spare time, this is it. So, to get the opportunity to work with a company that I respect in so many ways was truly a dream come true.

    Here it is- a look inside Japan’s War on Dance.

    MSN Travel

    How2Travelers made it to MSN!

    Rachel and I were so excited when Trium Entertainment approached us to help write and produce a segment for MSN Travel. We’ve been working tirelessly for over a year on our travel digital series, How2Travelers, putting out new travel video content every week, so to do it for a major internet partner was pretty freaking amazing.

    5 Unreal Bucket List Adventures was sooooo much fun to shoot. It went really quickly, despite Rachel and I making fun of each other the entire time. Luckily, a lot of that stuff made the final cut!

    For all those doubters– who says two blonde chicks can’t be travel experts?? 😉

    Check out the video HERE

    Fun fact! This was shot on my birthday. And I say this without any irony, I couldn’t have thought of a better way to spend my big day than with my favorite travel buddy and doing something I absolutely love. <Sigh.> Or gag… Whichever suits your fancy.
