I am a traveler, writer, storyteller, and teacher born and raised in Laguna Beach, California. In 2024, I decided to stop my 25-year teaching career to focus on travel writing. It is a privilege to live in this vibrant, exciting, stunning town with my husband and our two sons. We wake up every day feeling like we have won the lottery with views of the ocean and hills from every part of the town as we wander to the beach, the village, the trails, or the parks. I love to explore old haunts from my high school days, wandering the fun neighborhoods of my childhood friends. I am an expert on the pros and cons of every beach in town. My knowledge of the hills and canyons stems from my childhood playing in them. I am honored to live here and truly believe that this platform allows me to share what I love with you. Laguna is a special place for every person who comes here, and it is my hope that this space gives you the information, inspiration, advice, and suggestions that you are looking for to make your Laguna experience easy and fun. Whether you are a resident or a visitor, my goal is to help you see, shop, park, wander, admire art, and live the Laguna Beach life. Enjoy!
