With international travel still on hiatus, I’ve been doing a lot more shorter domestic trips, and it’s been great to visit different parts of the US. The country is diverse and vast, and there is so much to explore and learn.

This weekend I’ll be enjoying the weather and vibrancy of San Diego with close friends, and I couldn’t be more excited. Even the places we’ve been to many times offer different perspectives opportunities; each visit is a new experience.

Spending all one’s time in one corner of the world seems foolish. To travel—and to visit San Diego—is to truly live, to embrace all Earth has to offer.
