Transforming traditional communications
I travel a lot. Here’s what I’ve found along the way.
April, 2013 – Steeped in Mexican influence, with a taste of the Californian lifestyle people crave, San Diego is categorised in my memory under food. We stayed in Little Italy, which hosted a farmer’s market. Old Town is busy but everything we ate tasted amazing. The city is quiet and public transport clean and efficient. … Continue reading San Diego, USA
