In just one week I’ll be jetting off to Hollywood to meet up with my Kia family for the biggest arrival of 2017, the Kia Stinger National Media Event. I guess you can say it’s like showing up at the birth of a new family member. I’ve been supporting Kia’s latest addition to the family all year. So being a part of this event is super exciting for me. Over the course of three days, I’ll be getting together with the Kia fam at the beautifully designed retro-chic boutique hotel, The Garland, attending the Kia Stinger national press conference and driving the all-new Stinger from Hollywood through the Angeles National Forest.
Where to Follow
I’ll be sharing the adventure on my Instagram @heroesandunicorns and Twitter @FairytaleTVLR so be sure to follow #StingerIsHere for the latest real-time coverage of America’s hottest wheels on the road. This is going to be EPIC!
The Fairytale Traveler and Kia – Why I Work With Kia Over Other Brands
If you’ve been following me this past year then you know how much I love Kia. I am a proud Kia Sorento owner and have been for the last two years. I love everything about the Kia brand both as a company and as a product. I feel like I see a different side of the brand as a blogger, a side that is driven by passion, commitment to quality and affordability. I’ve been able to gain an inside look at many of the Kia products. My commitment to my readers to explore to great lengths the cars that fit my lifestyle the most. So you can expect a heavy focus on products like the Sorento, Niro Hybrid and soon the Niro Plug-in Hybrid as well as the Kia Soul EV and EV PLug-in and the all-new Stinger. I’ve spent the whole year with the 2017 Kia Niro Hybrid and I’m proud of that.
About the Kia Stinger Launch
I am so proud to be a part of this launch. Having seen the Kia Stinger from its earliest stages. I can’t wait to get behind the wheel to show you EVERYTHING the Kia Stinger is bringing to drivers.
Not only is the Stinger SEXY AF, it’s built with a personal design for the driver. I learned all about this back in NYC when I attended the New York International Auto Show. While sitting in the Stinger with the National Manager of Product Communications, James Hope, I was told it was all about the design.
The Kia Stinger was designed specifically with driving pleasure in mind.” -James Hope

A true gran turismo, a car for spirited long-distance driving, is not about outright power, hard-edged dynamics, and brutal styling, all at the expense of luxury, comfort and grace,”
The Stinger has nothing to do with being the first to arrive at the destination – this car is all about the journey. It’s about passion.” -Chief designer at Kia Motors Europe, Gregory Guillaume
