San Diego is my home, and I never plan to leave. We are known for our perfect weather, but there is so much more to us. Our culture is like none other. The people are so diverse and friendly. The mix of cultures result in incredible food, with many restaurants open late! If you’re craving great Turkish food—head to Main Street in National City. Great Italian? Villa Capri in Rancho Bernardo!
As if those weren’t enough options to live here, we have even more. Skydiving, hot air balloon rides, the Del Mar Fair, designer stores and outlet malls, kayaking, the list is endless. You can even swim with dolphins at SeaWorld.
San Diego is family friendly, young adult friendly with the nightlife, business friendly, and dog friendly too. It is not only my city, but like all the other residents here, it is my home.

San Diego county has so much to offer! From the beautiful beach to the mountains. There are highly diverse communities that enrich the culture of San Diego. You can meet people from many different walks of life who are welcoming and allow you to see what makes San Diego County so magnificent to live in. The parks, museums, and local shops entice you to spend time in them and soak in everything they have to offer whether its educational, natural, or community history.
I enjoy how there is always something to do in this county, as there is always a restaurant, activity center, or park within walking distance. One change I would like to see is that we tackle the homeless situation, instead of pushing it into other cities. If we create more rehabilitation centers or programs to help the homeless, then I feel like San Diego will become a better place!
