San Diego

NYC and San Diego are my top two favorite cities we’ve lived in, and they could not be more different. I love NYC for the constant stream of new things to do and San Diego for its chill beach vibes. It’s fun to play in NY, but San Diego is somewhere we could see ourselves settling down (if it weren’t for astronomical housing prices).
