HELLO FROM THE FINAL DAY OF THE WORLD GAMES

I’m writing this just before heading to the closing ceremonies with my team and I have to say I am thoroughly blown away by this experience of working at The World Games. This was by far one of the most interesting, unique and fun events I’ve worked and I honestly cannot believe some of the things I had a front-row seat for.

From 4 men stacking themselves on top of one another, with the dude on top balancing with one arm on someone’s head (I’m not joking check my Instagram) to these fabulously fierce dancers bringing the fire and sequins to the dance floor. 

I feel immensely proud to be part of the team that helped bring these games to life and is made up of some of the most insanely talented humans from all over the world. These are the same people that work the Super Bowl, put on the Olympics and of course, many of them are my buddies from the BNP Paribas Open.

Working massive events like these are LONG days and high stakes, but I gotta say at the end of the day it feels like I’m working with my family. Everyone is cheering each other on, solving problems and helping out no matter how big or small the task.

This was my first time working an event like this as an arena host and I gotta be honest I was nervous coming here.

But after 2 weeks, man…I feel like I could do this again and again. Constantly grateful and humbled by these experiences and looking forward to a few more in the near future ;)

Okay, BRB gotta guzzle some wine before going to watch Lionel Richie close out the games!

  1. YOU NEED THIS BEACH BAG - If you’re looking for the perfect beach bag this summer, my favorite brand just happens to have a few of them on sale right now and they’re nearly half off. Run don’t walk. I carried a version of this bag around with me all through Greece last summer and it fits EVERYTHING.

  2. MY FAVORITE TRAVEL SANDALS ARE ON SALE - I swear by these sandals, it feels like I’m walking on clouds when I’m wearing them. They’ve been the only thing I’ve been wearing while I work 12-hour days hosting the World Games. They are tried and true and will be PERFECT for travel or long days on your feet. Oh and they’re permanently on sale.

  3. SOME OF THE TRAVEL DEALS I’M SHOPPING DURING THE NORDSTROM SALE - While I don’t lose my damn mind like many of my colleagues do over the Nordy sale (lolz watch this comedic video for context) I did find some great travel staples you might want to check out.

    1. A VERSATILE PURSE - When it comes to the precious space in your suitcase, having items that can be worn multiple ways is major key. This bag is by one of my favorite designers and has removable/adjustable straps so you can switch up your look based on your needs.

    2. THE PERFECT ROAD TRIP LEGGING - need I say more?

    3. THE MOST COMFORTABLE TRAVEL SNEAKER - I have a pair of these and if you’re looking for a comfy sneaker for your travels that’s an absolute classic - you need to snag these. The price is kinda steep but it’s worth it.

HAPPY ENDING
