I’m a native. Born in what used to be Doctor’s Hospital (now Cabrillo) in Loma Portal. Lived in Clairemont till age 4, when we moved to University City. Hey, fast times at ridgemont was MY highschool class. I’m as local as you get.
But, I’ve also spread my wings. I’ve lived in Bellingham Washington, Atlanta GA, and outside of Philly – where I met my husband.
I love San Diego because it offers the lifestyle that works for me. Beach, mountains, good weather. Lots of outdoor living. I live close enough to the coast to not need AC in the summer or even much heat in the winter.
I love San Diego because it’s a great place to raise my kids. They are growing up learning to boogie board, ride bikes year round, and never have it too hot or too cold to play outside.
For me, it took living in other states to fully appreciate what San Diego has to offer.
