Where is the best food in Mexico? This question is impossible to answer.

Our 2.5 day itinerary was filled with delicious treats and foodie adventures, from food ..read more

With more and more people trying to cut down on costs and reduce their fast fashion consumption, swap meets and flea markets in San Diego have become bigger and better than ever. I have to admit that going to swap meets is one of my secret passions. I just love strolling through the stands, finding little treasures, and wondering about the history of each item. Where did it come from, and how did it end up here? And of course, I love the “hunt” for a little treasure or finding something that brings back memories like: “My grandma had the same set of casserole dishes!” It always feels like a st ..read more
