Explore Your City

I am very lucky to live in Long Beach. Situated between the beach and Los Angeles there are endless opportunities for many types of adventures. I am trying to soak up every bit of summer before it is gone so my friend Allison, my fiance Abel and I decided to try our hand at paddle boarding.  We purchased vouchers for Long Beach Adventure Tours through travel zoo for $35 per person. This included a 2 hour paddle board lesson at the dock next to the Maya Hotel in Long Beach followed by 2 complimentary margaritas per person.

The adventure was definitely enjoyable and something different. We paddled through the harbor up to the Queen Mary. I am happy to say I never fell off of my board. Our guide Nema was a nice laid back surfer type who saved the day by letting me book this at the very last minute.

Post paddling we headed over to Fuego, the restaurant at the Maya for our margs. We sat in a very nice private cabana outside with a great view of the harbor. We also received free parking for the day at the Maya.

Freaks of Nature

July 27th was a huge milestone for EDM (electronic dance music) in America. Kaskade’s Freaks of Nature tour sold out the Staples Center, something an electronic music act had never done. Kaskade is a hugely talented producer, and his music represents so many amazing times in my life. I just had to share. Click the photo to listen to an amazing set featuring some of his best works.
