CALIFORNIA

I am a California local, having lived in the San Francisco suburbs for the last 20+ years. I have explored my home state quite extensively, and I am always amazed at its varied landscape, from the coast to the mountains to the desert.

California has popular cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles and charming coastal towns like Monterey and Santa Barbara. California is also home to 9 National Parks!

I have a whole blog just about California, My California Travels, to help travelers explore and plan their trip to California. All of my California travel experiences can be found on this new California website.
