Fearless Travel

Having recently left California’s south coast, I find myself…What? You didn’t know California has a SOUTHERN shore? Of course it does! Here, look at the map and I’ll prove it to you:

Start from the south, near San Diego and note that the coast drifts North-Westerly. Right around Santa Monica, it starts heading almost due West, curves North-West and then West again at around Ventura/Oxnard. From there to Lompoc, the coast actually faces more toward Antartica than Asia which allows for some awesome climate.

I resided near Santa Barbara, California. For those fo you unused to California weather, the average temperature of the area is about 72 degrees (this doesn’t mean it’s a constant temperature, though - trust me!). Santa Barbara was the place I called home for several years, during which I traveled extensively throughout the country and even to the Middle East. It seems an oddly apropriate place to start this blog; Its weather is bland (sorry, California, but it’s true - weather is so constant it’s like steamed white rice: predictable, unchanging, and taken for granted by everyone) and the people a microcosm of America. In this Blog, I will use comparisons to Santa Barbara to juxtapose the places I travel and report on.
