3 days in SAN DIEGO, California - travel guide day 1

San Diego, California - Travel guide to the Embarcadero, Coronado, and the Gaslamp. San Diego is a lovely coastal city in Southern California, and these are some of the best things to do in town. At the waterfront, you find the Embarcadero, and you can visit the Maritime Museum and the USS Midway Museum. There's also Seaport Village, with nice shops and restaurants. Being downtown San Diego, you can easily get a ferry or drive to Coronado island, and enjoy both coasts. One has the best view of the San Diego skyline, the other has the fantastic Coronado Beach and the traditional Hotel Del. For the nightlife we chose the Gaslamp Quarter, which is actually within walking distance to Seaport Village, and you have so many options for a fun night out.

There are so many things to do in San Diego that you'll need at least 3 days. This is day 1 in our itinerary.

► WHO AM I?

I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world... stuff that for so long I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!

P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American and he's actually camera-shy, that's why he's behind the camera most of the time 😉
