Destinations

Many of our clients find us because we helped them plan a trip to Southern California. Then, they use our hotel benefits worldwide and report back on what they did. While San Diego is our specialty, it’s important (and fun!) to cover destinations we’re familiar with globally. To give you an idea, Katie and her family were expats in London and Hong Kong, frequent visitors to China and Singapore, and have traveled extensively in Europe and Mexico. And the team here has even more global experience (Madeliene is from London, for starters). Below, you can navigate to the cities and countries we’ve talked about the most.
