Eat, eat, eat: One of my favorite thing about going on vacation is discovering quirky cafes and great dishes. So, I've scoured through a few spots to stop by in the Joshua Tree region. Also, I suggest if you're driving in from the L.A. area, to stop by Hadley Fruit Orchard and get a date shake. You won't be disappointed.

Visiting Joshua Tree National Park, Part 1: Where to Stay

I'm not sure if it's the dreary weather we're having in San Francisco, or the feeling that summer is just out of reach, but I've been daydreaming of the desert. Joshua Tree National Park to be exact. So my next few posts are going to be dedicated to everything desert.

First off, if going to Joshua Tree, I suggest you camp or -- if camping just isn't your thing -- Airbnb at a location where you feel immersed in the surroundings.

Bodega Bay: The Perfect Getaway for the Birds (Or You)

One of my favorite Alfred Hitchcock movies is the Birds -- it's campy, creepy and classic all at the same time, and I will definitely be writing about it in-depth on this blog at a later time. But today it's all about one of the towns it takes place in: Bodega Bay.

Located 66 miles north of San Francisco, I highly suggest if you're driving from the City to take HWY-1 to get there. Yes, it takes longer, but it's so scenic you won't care!

My favorite part of living in San Francisco is actually escaping the concrete jungle -- and hiking through the Presidio.

Busy but not forgotten

Sorry I've been m.i.a. this week, been very busy, but more posts are in the works!

When Art Pops Up on a San Francisco Street

I love street art, especially when it's out of the box like Set in the Street, a project from a New York artist (and San Francisco native). Check out this piece I wrote about a photo set that grew out of nothing on a San Francisco street.
