Travel Tips from California Locals
From Sonoma County to 圣芭芭拉分校 to 圣地亚哥, seasoned locals recommend their favorite spots to eat, 玩, 和探索
Here's a good rule of thumb if you want to have an amazing time in California: Do as the locals do.
On this episode of the California Now 播客, host Soterios约翰逊 talks to three longtime Californians who are absolutely enamored with where they live—women eager to pass on that love to anyone who ventures into town.
Johnson starts things off with 盖尔纳-based Chef Crista Luedtke: They discuss the most enticing food, 饮料, and outdoor fun to be had in west Sonoma County. The Boon Hotel + Spa owner and Guy's Grocery Games regular shares an impressive list of recommendations that might entice you to add this wine country destination to your next Golden State itinerary.
Next up, Johnson meets 圣芭芭拉分校-based author and 导游 Tara Jones Haaf. On her food tours, Haaf揭示了, she will not only turn you on to some of the best bites in town, but she'll also make you a better photographer along the way. And she can tell you exactly how the famous 圣芭芭拉分校 恐慌区 got its name. (Hint, it's not what you might expect!)
最后, Johnson connects with Elexia de la Parra, owner of the popular folk art shop Artelexia in 圣地亚哥's 北公园 neighborhood. De la Parra’s passion for this colorful and welco最小值g neighborhood is infectious, and she can rattle off at least a dozen stellar recommendations—including shopping tips —within just a few blocks of her store.
