About Me

The “My” behind My California Travels

Being a California local for 20+ years and an avid road tripper, I have traveled and explored the Golden State extensively.

From the urban vibe of San Francisco and Los Angeles to the scenic trails of our national parks like Yosemite and Sequoia, and charming coastal towns like Monterey and Pismo Beach, I cannot get enough of California’s diverse landscape. 

Join me as I share my experiences, itineraries, and travel tips to inspire your next California adventure!
