Planning a Road Trip?

We can help! We’re Shreeyeh and Kiran and we’ve been living in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2020.

We’ve visited 65+ destinations across California, from 8 national parks to 15+ state parks – all through road trips.

We’ve planned every single road trip by ourselves. And we’d love to help plan a road trip in California – whether it’s 3 days in Joshua Tree National Park or 10 days from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

We provide road trip planning services if you’re ready for your trip.

If you’ve got questions about California, email me at shreeyeh@baeareaandbeyond.com.

San Diego

We spent 5 nights in San Diego back in December. We love this city for so many reasons: Gaslamp Quarter for its fancy restaurants and Victorian architecture, Old Town San Diego for its Mexican food, historic sites and colorful shops, Coronado Island for its iconic bridge, downtown and views of San Diego skyline.

Each neighborhood is different than the other and has its own history to it.
