We arrived in Cape Town on a Friday evening and immediately checked into our hotel. The hotel is a boutique in style but owned by a large corporate brand (Marriott). The lobby on the 2nd floor sits in a 8 floor tall lobby, with a restaurant and modern decor. The hotel is located in the […]
Review: Hyatt Regency Johannesburg
The hotel is located about 25 km from the airport and we were offered transportation by the hotel, but elected to take an Uber instead. We had arrived a few hours before check in and were given access to the showers in the hotel spa as well as the spa pool, which was quite a […]
LEMONADE
A track-by-track review (of just the music, but the visuals are pretty damn stunning) Pray You Catch Me– Beyonce comes out strong with this haunting song that started off reminding me lowkey of AHS Coven. The vocals are stunning, and it is a great opener that tells listeners how Bey has grown suspicious of her […]
The Same Five Clubs
Up and Down. Lavo. 1Oak. Avenue. The Highline Ballroom. When I first started clubbing, I felt like we would just go to the same 5 popular clubs, but in reality, there’s probably at least one that I’m forgetting-just remembered, it’s Le Souk. It’s easy to forget to add that one other place where some girl spilled something on […]

You know that moment where you feel like you are completely booked? But then somehow you have to add one more thing. It doesn’t have to be big. You just remember that you need to call the bank or wash your sheets, but whatever it is, it’s just one more thing that will cut into your […]

Being the Sober Friend
Sometimes, it is for the best to not drink, but it can still be possible to have fun and feel good about keeping everyone safe. This past weekend, my friends and I went to The Highline Ballroom for a birthday celebration of a sort of friend-of-a-friend. There were some issues with getting the table together, so […]

Looking back over all of the places that I’ve been in NYC, there have definitely been a few standouts that were not just fun for my friends and I, but seemed to be full of other college students as well. This list represents a wide variety of locations and styles and is in no particular […]
Review: Sofitel Bogota
During a recent trip to Bogota, Colombia, YGenMag stayed at likely the most luxurious property in all of Colombia, the Sofitel Bogota Victoria Regia Hotel, a 5-star hotel. The property is immaculate, with its French design and red brick façade, and the service is excellent. Upon arrival, the manager personally gave us a tour and, as […]
