Paradise-city San Diego has so much to offer. The youthful Pacific Beach, laid-back Mission Beach, cozy Little Italy, outdoorsy La Jolla, and cultural Old Town present many activities and display so much of the diversity that resides in San Diego. As you try to find the best deals and tick off as many sights on your bucket list, don’t forget to look out for the details. Ask how this place has come to be what it is now, inquire about its history, and get to know the traditions of the different cultures in San Diego. This will allow you to grow and flourish as an individual. As Margaret Mead has said, “A knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own.”
