California & Coastal Travel

As a California native who has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, Santa Barbara, and San Diego, I have a lifelong love for the coast.

I created Kessler Elsewhere in 2018 to turn my overplanning into detailed travel guides for California and coastal destinations around the world. Every guide is crafted with my first-hand experience, personal research, and original photography.

When I’m not traveling or working on a new guide, I love relaxing at home in the Bay Area with my husband and two kitties (Captain Jack and Sparrow), unwinding with a good show, or planning my next trip.
