Finding a place to grab coffee, eat lunch, or enjoy a nice dinner while traveling is hard enough as is, but when you’re in a big city, the options are truly overwhelming. While my guides are full of one-of-a-kind restaurants for certain neighborhoods, this Essential Eateries map includes the top few San Diego-specific chains that will help you eat like a local on the go. Not only that, but I include a backstory of each chain, my top menu suggestion, and what I consider to be the best location to visit. This guide can also serve as a “What NOT to Eat” if you’re the kind of person who only wants to try single-location restaurants and want to determine if the place you’re interested in dining is a chain. Just pull up this map when you’re out and about to see where the nearest spots are when your tummy starts rumbling! Get access to ALL the San Diego area locations of 9 regional chains, including: ☕️ 2 Coffee Shops 🥐 1 Bakery 🥡 5 Fast-Casual Restaurants 🍦 1 Dessert Spot Worried this info is out-of-date? Fear not! I'll be updating this guide every six months for accuracy, as well as to add new favorites I find along the way.

San Diego is a great place to shop, but if you’re not interested in cheap Old Town souveniers, sidewalk bracelets or pricey things at Fashion Valley, why not try a more sustainable option - Thrift Shops!

Many of these shops benefit charities and most have a military discount of up to 10% in addition to other promotions.

Did you know Big Bend National Park is the #4 rated place in the world to see the stars? This park is so stunning that on clear nights you can see the entire milky way with almost no light pollution. Recently, I checked stargazing off my bucket list and traveled between El Paso and Big Bend on a 5 hour winding road trip. On the way, I discovered all kinds of hidden gems and places worth visiting. In this guide you will find my favorite stops along the west Texas border. What's Included: • 2 Different Routes between El Paso & Big Bend National Park Recommendations In: • El Paso • Fort Davis • Marfa • Terlingua • and every stop in between + potential additional stops farther afield This trip was unforgettable for me and I hope it's something I can help others experience too. Most of West Texas is very rural, so I made sure to include the best advice I have for other people (like me) that are from large urban cities and other climate zones. PS- I visited during the heat wave of late summer 2023, I don't recommend. Consider visiting when it is cooler - it was 115 degrees when I was in town.

This is our Wild Wild West Road Trip in West Texas and New Mexico. We visited 4 National Parks on this trip and multiple state parks. This region is great for road trips because everything is in fairly good proximity. This is the culmination of 60-plus hours of research and work to save you time. We do this so you can enjoy the most important part which is the trip itself! We just finished a week-long road trip in West Texas and New Mexico and had an absolute blast. We wanted to take our trip and share with you guys all the dos and don'ts in the region. It is an extremely beautiful area full of mountains, deserts, rivers, sand dunes, and so much more. If you follow this guide I promise you this will be a trip of a lifetime and you will see some amazing experiences. If you want to take your own route that's fine use this as a great start to plan your epic adventure. You can't go wrong.  Tag us in the photos you take - we'd love to see your experience! @thejourneyest2016 

This one is for all you military folks moving back and forth from San Diego (or Ventura) CA to Norfolk, VA. This guide also works in reverse if you are moving west. The overall route takes Highways 8, 10, 20, 85, 58, and 264. Google says this is the fastest and most fuel efficient route. Each driving day will be approximately ~6 hours. 2,703 miles, 8 days. If you’re into travel hacking try to pick one hotel chain to stick with. I have one Hilton family hotel and one Marriott family hotel for each destination, as well as a La Quinta hotel because they are great for traveling with pets and generally a cheaper option. If you’re down for longer drives and want to arrive more quickly you can skip Sweetwater and/or Raleigh.
