I'm a travel blogger, food writer, and social media consultant based in sunny San Diego, California. On this website, I share thoughtful articles about travel, food, and little bits in between. You can find me published in Tasting Table, LOCALE Magazine, Chickpea Quarterly Magazine, Parade Magazine, and more. You can find my Foodie Instagram here.
If you're a tourism board or marketing firm, please contact me for upcoming events, press trips, etc.
My Writing Background
I've been a San Diego travel writer and lifestyle blogger for many years. It all started in 2011 with the occasional poem or short story. Now my website is read globally with readers in 108 countries - that's just within the last 30 days! I focus on well-researched, SEO-optimized posts, usually around food and travel.My Career Background
I do social media marketing for spiritualists, therapists, financial advisors, realtors, and small businesses. I've been freelancing and working remotely since 2017. Prior to that, I worked as a social media professional in corporate and agency offices for years before making the leap to freelance writing.
My Travel Background
As a travel and food writer, I love experiencing the nooks and crannies, tasting the nibbles and crumbs, and sharing it however I can. I've visited 22 countries & 12 U.S. states. I've worked with tourism boards throughout the U.S. on various press trips/FAM tours. Part of being a travel writer/blogger means traveling frequently!I've sipped port wine in Porto, Portugal, gone skydiving in Lompoc, California, ate tons of queso in El Paso, Texas, and much more.
As a blog + social media consultant, I also work with travel brands & travel influencers to manage their online presence. I always keep an eye out for good flight deals. Google Flights is my favorite way to save hundreds of dollars on a flight.
I'm currently rewatching Schitt's Creek. I am obsessed with drinking fresh mint tea. As a San Diego blogger, you might find me exploring the different areas in North County as well as San Diego! I've written blog posts about Encinitas, Oceanside, and North County things to do (and much more).

Carmen you sound like a very interesting person. I have one question for you. What was it about Lompoc, Ca that you found interesting enough to visit? My wife and me live in Santa Maria about 20 miles from Lompoc and find it interesting that out of all the places you have been that you would visit Lompoc.
ReplyDeleteHi Steve. Great question. I went to Lompoc on a press trip with Explore Lompoc. Several journalists, magazine freelancers, & writers were invited to come out & given a tour of the area. Thanks for stopping by!
