It’s hard to believe I spent nearly 18 years living in California. In 2021, I moved back to the East Coast. I love reflecting back on all the experiences, people, and places I discovered while I was there. One of my favorite spots to travel to was Mendocino. Incredible food, kind people, and full of charm. If you’re looking for a relaxing laidback vacation, I highly recommend.
