Exploring With Toyota

I know your probably thinking that this will be a “style” post, but honestly its a post about a different kind of style. I had the opportunity to travel to California a couple of weeks ago to attend a conference. This conference isn’t just any conference, it is the ALT Summit, the conference that help me in so many ways as an influencer. This year I didn’t just attend the conference, I was a speaker! Yep, a 2018 speaker, and I am now back in the saddle creating new resources and prepping to launch something else that I am very excited about. (details coming soon)

The conference was held in Palm Springs, California. I love to travel so, I didn’t just want to fly directly into Palm Springs, so I opted to fly into Los Angeles. There is something about exploring new places and things, and I would not have had the opportunity to do that without the help of Toyota. I had the chance to explore in style in the new 2018 Toyota Corolla. Y’all, this car could have not been more perfect for my little adventures. We bonded instantly and let me tell you, it was hard to turn in the keys and say goodbye.

So lucky to have my sister with me on this trip, she was able to capture some footage of me riding in style in the 2018 Toyota Corolla! Seriously this car is perfect for anyone.

Check out the video below or you can watch here.

When you have an hour drive you have to turn on the music.  Being that in my full-time career, I am in my car 90% of the time. I love listening to audiobooks or new and interesting podcasts. Now, it take me a little while to get familiar with how everything worked but once I did we were ready to roll! I was able to hook up the booth-tooth for hands-free phone call and directions. This feature is one of my favorites because being in a new area and driving for a long distance it allows me to stay focused on the road and surrounding drivers.

Here is a list of a few places that I visited while on my little road trip in California:

Joshua Tree National Park– thanks to my sister we had the chance to stay a few nights in a AirBNB. I experienced the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen. Watching this sunrise really made me appreciate the small things in life. Sometimes we need to take the time to unplug and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us everyday.

Altitude Summit

LuLu’s Palm Springs

The Saguaro Hotel Palm Springs

Desert Hot Springs

I was so impressed with the 2018 Toyota Corolla, it had much more space that I expected. I was able to climb from the front seat to the back with ease. Now, I know you’re probably wondering why did I do that? Well, my sister and I decided to do a little planning and goal setting from the passengers point of view. To top it off I drove over 1,600 miles and only paid $34 to fill up the tank! Say what?! It doesn’t get any better than that!.

I will have more of my trip to California on the blog soon so definitely make sure you are subscribed to the TDB Insider so you don’t miss it.
