Our Gear:
We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.
amzn.to/2L55pDR
We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.
amzn.to/2WbTNFH
We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.
amzn.to/35AWqUs
Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.
amzn.to/2YDeADt
Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here
Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

Carne asada fries are not on the menu at most Mexican sit down restaurants. However, they are generally an item on the menu of just about every Mexican taco shop in the county (which seem to be on every other corner here, lol). Unfortunately, they are not all made equally, some are better than others, just like any eating/dining out experience. They are super easy to make at home. Just need a few ingredients, Chopped flank steak, french fries, cheese (cotija/queso fresco, a crumbly cheese similar to Feta), guacamole (if you like it), salsa of choice (preferable not out of a bottle), pico de gallo or salsa fresca are great & easy to make or they can be found in most refrigerated sections of supermarkets. You can probably request this at any Mexican restaurant that has french fries on the menu. Just ask then to dump a bunch of fries on a plate (or a platter-appetizer/starter for the table) and layer on the other ingredients which all Mexican restaurants have. Google image a pic if they are not familiar with the item. Most Mexican places from my experience will make you what you want if they have the ingredients. These are all standard ingredients except the fries. Do yourself a favor a Google image carne asada fries recipe, select the images that look best to you and make it at home. Carne asada nachos (tortilla chips instead of fries) are my favorite though. Delish!!

This is true, but the fear comes from a number of reasons. 1. no rain causes oil and automobile fluids to build up on the road, and the first rain causes the roads to become an ice rink 2. A lot of people here do not regularly change their wiper blades or tires because of the lack of rain, when rains happen, they are screwed 3. poor draining /low lying areas cause substantial water build up not only on roads but sections of freeway as well

I live in San Diego and have to disagree with one point. When it rains, people don't say "oh no, this is horrible, etc", instead, they will go outside and start dancing in the rain. I remember the first time it rained in the winter after some 300+ days of sun, and legit almost my whole class ran out of the classroom and started goofing around, spinning in circles, etc. It's quite a big deal, especially in a particularly dry year. (around two years ago it only rained twice during the winter, I was very sad...) When you see it's raining, it's something to run and tell your friends about, and then excitedly crowd around a window to verify, at least in my high school. But yeah when driving San Diegans do tend to treat rain like the end of the world, haha.

I was visiting San Diego, driving on the freeway, when it started to rain. I've never seen every other car slow to 25mph...because of rain. Where I live, we call the oily rain "first rain" and stick to the speed limit, it's perfectly safe. We just limit changing lanes and other activities that increase accident risk unless necessary. 25 is overkill and honestly less safe than slowing down a bit and paying attention. I saw so many drivers hitting (smashing) parked cars in the middle of sunny days that it's a running joke I my family. I love San Diego, but if I move there, I'm installing steel bumpers and 24 hour dash and rear cams on my car.

I feel like SD is a bit of a paradise simply because we're smack in the middle of _everything_ , and two hours in any direction would get you ocean, desert, mountains, or Mexico. Plus the culture is really diverse simply by nature of all the people mushing together. But the thing is-- everyone who lives here _loves_ SD, plain and simple, and I feel like through the years the city has been shifted and changed and crafted to reflect that love.

I had to watch this because I am from San Diego, I was curious to see what you had to say. You made some great points. I work in hospitality and I wish more people watched this before they visit. Most people don't expect to pay for parking at most places so when they arrive they're shocked and upset that we charge for it but it's everywhere out here. On the few times it does rain during the year we're all outside memorized by it because it is a rare to see it, except this year, we seen more rain this year then the past 10 years. I very much agree with your statement about LA vs San Diego, we're definitely much different when it comes to things to do, the people you meet, etc. I moved from LA to San Diego because I noticed San Diego was much classier than LA, much cleaner and much more mature.

It cracked me up. And everyone leaving the restaurant was losing it when they came outside into the mist/rain :)

On average the city sees less than 30 days of rain a year. Therefore the climatization of the locals are surely different from other regions which might be more humid, or wetter, or colder. It is a desert in disguise, as is all of Coastal Southern California due to the vast aqueduct systems which provide the waters (primarily from the Colorado River (and to a lesser extent Northern California, Sierra Nevadas, and desalinated sources)) which support the millions who live there

It smells like urine because they’re aren’t enough public bathrooms so people just pee on the side walk. We’ve literally walked past someone shooting up on the side walk as well in broad daylight. We’ve been followed by a crazy person who started shouting at us because he thought we were looking at him. We’ve had people stop us in the street asking for money. The super touristy spots are still fine but everything is over priced and the experience is just ok, it’s just not worth the time and money.
