Explore California Like a Local

I have lived, traveled, and breathed California for over 20 years. I was still living at home with my parents when we took a family vacation out west. The minute this native East Coaster stepped foot in California, I knew I was home. In my 20s, I moved to San Francisco and now reside in Los Angeles, but I’ve seen nearly every inch of California in my 20 years here. Let me help you explore California’s diverse natural beauty and cultural and recreational opportunities.

Hello, I’m Jessica.

I’m a California-based travel blogger. I’ve called this sunny state home for over 20 years and can’t get enough of its beauty. When I’m not jetting off, I’m at home with my partner and our two lazy cats (I’m a dog person, long story).

But no matter how far I roam, California is where my heart is. From Catalina Island to San Francisco and Napa Valley to Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, the diversity, the ocean breeze, and the laid-back vibe keep me grounded.

Writing is my second love after travel/chocolate. Beyond travel, I’m all about supporting entrepreneurs in their pursuit of a dream life.
