I was born and raised in Southern California. For three decades I have called this place home. I grew up in San Gabriel, graduated from UCLA, worked at Central Library, and have spent my entire lifetime scouring this city for unforgettable experiences. These are my favorite places in Los Angeles. See the List.
There are no greater elements that I seek more than truth and beauty, commonly intertwined but frequently at odds. This space aims to share a collection that reflects my insatiable appetite for life. Leisure is a priority. Internationalism is the mindset. These stories reflect curiosity and the acquisition of knowledge to better understand the capacity of human creativity.

Friends and strangers alike often ask me about where to purchase the items I love so dearly. I am serious about my recommendations and decidedly, thought it was time I share them with my readers.
