On our sister site EuropeUpClose.com, we reach over 100000 unique monthly visitors and a Social Media following of over 53000 and have worked with dozens of Tourism offices and brands.
Maria focuses on the creative part, including writing and photography, while Greg handles the technical aspects and business development. Greg has a traditional 9-5 job, but we travel together as much as possible to create the best content. When Greg is tied up at work, Maria travels solo.

A good travel website need not always provide a global catalogue. All things local can be as inviting, interesting and attractive as promoting global wanderlust. San Diego is more than beaches, a world-class zoo and a massive Navy base. This website is everything San Diego, a deep dive into the varied neighborhoods as well as Things to Do, Top Attractions, Tips and the eBook restaurant guide. A Beautiful slide show rotator highlights topics/categories: Coronado hotels, beautiful La Jolla, pet-friendly hotels, best beach resorts and more.
