Travel with Cassey Ho (aka Blogilates)

Throughout the years moving from city to city, we’ve been fortunate enough to get to know some extraordinary, talented people, some of whom you may recognize. No matter what they do, one thing we’ve always had in common is our love for travel. We thought it would be fun to get a little insight into how others travel or what it would look like behind the scenes traveling with them. Welcome to our “Travel With…” interview series!

Travel with Cassey Ho Interview aka Blogilates // localadventurer.comPin

Tell us about you. Who you are and what you do (brag about yourself!).

Hi, my name is Cassey and I am the creator of Blogilates! The simplest explanation of what I do? I am a fitness entrepreneur and the designer of POPFLEX Active. Brag? I usually don’t like to do that but since you asked nicely – I was just recently named the #3 most influential health and fitness person on the planet… right after Oprah!

What do you love about traveling?

I love being inspired by the newness of it all – the food, the culture, the customs, the architecture, and nature. Discovery excites me.

What does traveling locally mean to you?

I am so lucky to live in LA – where you can live up the city life or chill out in a majestic national forest. Traveling locally means discovering new things in your own backyard!

Head-to-toe POPFLEX Active with sneakers!

A Nicole Miller carry-on roller luggage and a Timbuk2 backpack.

What is the first thing you look for when you arrive at your destination?

I go on Yelp and figure out what to eat!

What is the first thing you do when you enter your hotel room?

Admire the interior design and then jump on the bed!

Do you have any travel rituals?

When I am in a new place, I go for a jog outside to take in the new sights while getting my exercise in.

Music is always important when we travel, who have you been listening to lately?

I love pop instrumentals.

How long does it usually take you to pack?

I always wait til the last hour before we have to leave for the airport. I know. It’s bad. That’s when I can get the motivation to pack.

What do you use to shoot photos on a trip?

My iPhone or our Canon 5D Mark III.

Why do you think it’s valuable for people to travel?

If you’re lacking inspiration, change up the environment and change your perspective. It can help you get really creative.

What is one tip you would give to others about traveling?

ALWAYS bring a water bottle. Mine is basically glued to my hip. I hate being dehydrated (which tends to happen when people travel) so I stay on top of my game by prepping detox water (water with cut-up fruits and ice) in my backpack.

Where on social media/online can people find you?

You can find me @blogilates on YouTube and Instagram.

      Have you done any of her workouts? I’m thinking of doing one! :)

    Aww I love Cassey! I’ve been following Blogilates for several years now. Isn’t she just the greatest?

    I just found your blog and I’m in love! My husband and I both grew up in ATL and currently live in Cbus, Ohio. But in January we’ll be moving to PDX! As you can see, I’m very glad to have found you! haha We also plan to travel all around the west coast once we get out there.

    I’ve just spend the last 2 hours devouring your blog and making lists on amazon for things I need to buy and pack etc. I would love to see more of this series to have different perspectives and recommendations all in one place. That would be awesome!

      Thank you so much, Charlene. She really is! I always love hearing how other people love to travel and any travel hacks they might have learned.

      Where in ATL did you grow up? I hope you love PDX when you move! :) The winters are sometimes hard but the summers are so amazing!

    1. Esther JuLee

      Same! :) She’s such a girl boss but also very genuine a person. Thanks so much for the feedback, Leah. We’re hoping to share many more interviews like this one.
