If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
During our week in the city, I’d take my best friend for a girls day on the beach, maybe visit a local tea room, and enjoy a spa day for ultimate relaxation. I’m a foodie so we’d grab some yummy street food and have a picnic with ocean views. Of course, we’d spend lazy afternoons journaling on the beach, talking, and soaking up the sun. It’s all about good company and making memories!
