When you are thinking about the best beach for you what do you imagine? Long line of the sand going into horizon? Soft warm sand? Calm ocean? Sun not very hot? You know what I’m thinking of? Rocks! Cliffs! Strange Objects! Anything that could stop my attention for a long long time. I’m fast getting…

SoCal: Storm on the beach
It was planned as a sweet and warm ending of the year. I wanted to check out few Orange county beaches before heading to Oceanside and San Diego. On a Wednesday night, we stayed in the middle of nowhere near Interstate 5. When I woke up, I saw an apricot field, mountains in the distance…
San Diego: January Views
I never though that I will feel that sweet warm feeling about the city. Honestly, I never saw anything inspiring in the SoCal landscape. Okay, I’m not talking about THE ocean. All these hills, covered with sunburn brushes and dead grass. Constant hot sun. No. I though it was not for me. I didn’t get…
Catalina Island: East End Hike
Catalina Island is huge. Actually bigger than I expected. Especially when you wanted to hike. East End has good trails to make a complete loop: starting from Avalon Cyn Rd to Hermit Gulch Trail to Divide Rd to East End Rd to Renton Mine Rd to Pebble Beach and back to the town.
Oregon: South Coast from Winchester Bay to Brookings
I’m definitely in love with Pacific Northwest Coastline. Rugged and green, it always has so many surprises and places to explore. The previous year we finished our adventure in Florence. At home, I started to get myself on thoughts that there are too many places at Oregon Coast south from Florence I would like to…
Catalina Island: Avalon
Sometimes you are expecting less than you get. Then you get euphoria and magical feeling. And most of all you get memories. I didn’t expect to see a lot on Catalina Island. I actually not the biggest fan of SoCal. The crowdiest place under the bright sun with mountains covered with brushes and seasonal brushes…
San Diego: sunsets
It’s always good to be back 🙂 I didn’t write here for a two months. Nothing special happened. I just lost all my free time and barely will take it back 🙂 Though I will try to write here again. Right now I’m sitting in the hotel room in San Diego La Jolla. Tomorrow is…
Ano Nuevo State Park
The year and a half ago on cold January morning, we stopped at Ano Nuevo parking lot. And it wasn’t the best our morning. It was the day when the park closed public access to the most of it beaches. We walked a bit and drove to our favorite Pigeon Point. The week ago I…
Santa Cruz: West Cliff Drive
I love Santa Cruz, I love their city beaches, the mood of the town, I love donuts from Ferrel’s Donuts, I love ice cream from Marianne’s Ice Cream. More than two years ago Santa Cruz was the place where I fell in love with California. And it was exactly on West Cliff Drive.
