I am a local Southern California resident and I have enjoyed living in the area for over thirty years. I have so many memories growing up here and I truly love the culture, the people and all of the wonderful things to do in North San Diego County, Ca. I travel around Los Angeles, San Diego and North County and visit new places and people all of the time. I enjoy meeting new faces, eating delicious food, drinking amazing coffee or cocktails, shopping for my next outfit, buying a gift for a loved one, seeing a live band or comedy show and I do it all here in my hometown. I have lived in Encinitas, Leucadia, Oceanside, Vista, Carlsbad, Escondido, Valley Center, San Marcos and traveled all over Southern California from the Downtown area all the way up the coast to San Francisco "road-trip style." When I say I am a "California Girl" I mean that from the heart. This is my home! I try to write about all of my favorite spots and I think there is still SO MUCH MORE to see...which is exciting isn't it?Stay tuned on my blog for my next stop or my next adventure @losocalblog.com.
