Welcome to Jenn Wanders, I’m Jenn!

Born and raised in SoCal, I share all about travelling in California and beyond. If you’re from California or looking to visit, you’ll find all the best spots here.

I share advice and recommendations for local restaurants, the most beautiful beaches, and some of our amazing national parks. The site is divided into Abroad and SoCal, so you can easily find whatever you’re looking for.

About Jenn

Born and raised in California, I’m from West LA and have lived here my entire life. There’s no one better to tell you about my home state!

I grew up travelling internationally with my Dad, and while I still travel outside the country pretty often, I love to stay close to home and explore more of California.

My Dad is from Hong Kong and my Mom is from Honduras, so I grew up in a culturally diverse household and that’s a big part of why I’m so open to learning about new cultures now.

Outside of travel, I am very involved in church ministry and volunteering with my church, Fearless LA.

About Jenn Wanders

Jenn Wanders started in 2022 and is the gathering up of a lifetime of local and travel knowledge. I take all the pictures shared on the site, so you can see exactly what I see! For video content on some of the destinations published you can watch my youtube channel!

Having travelled so extensively all over the world, I want to share my favorite local places so that everyone can enjoy this incredible state. Find detailed itineraries, hidden gems in LA, scenic parks, long-weekend plans for different locations, and day trip ideas like what to do on a full day in Culver City.

Of course you’ll also find some info about my top spots! You can find me in Malibu, West LA, Coronado, and at the beach (always!).

Previous Work

My educational background is in communication studies, and I’ve worked as a travel concierge in Hong Kong, as a writer, and in international travel and social media management.
