I am a San Diego native and permanent tourist. I love exploring and discovering fun things to see and do in this city. There are so many fun things to do... all of the outdoor activities, theater, concerts, events, festivals, restaurants, sports, and much more. There is definitely something for everyone in this beautiful city and I love doing it all. I made this site to share the city with you.
