Hi guys, So it's been a very long time since I had a "keep it real" kind of post. I'm usually pretty light and upbeat in all of my posts, but I want to tell you guys something that I have encountered over the past 2 years of living in California that I've kept kind [...]
Time for my annual quick fall getaway trip! This time I decided to travel to Calgary, Canada. Why Calgary you ask? Just west of it is the home of Banff National Park, Canada's oldest (and prettiest I might add) park in the country. It also has gorgeous views of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, glaciers and [...]
In my last post from a couple years ago, I discussed "Why I Travel Alone" and the Pros and Cons that come with it. I constantly get asked what my tips are when I travel solo or get astonished reactions when I tell people I do travel solo. YOLO people, YOLO. Plus I'm single, so [...]
Hello to 39! I decided to celebrate my birthday in 2 cities that I have been dying to see my whole life: London and Paris! This trip has been my ultimate dream since I was a kid, but boy, I am so happy I booked this trip months in advance. You guys have no idea [...]

For a quick President's Day Weekend getaway, I decided to head up to our state's capitol, Sacramento, and the Napa Valley wine region! Both have been on my bucket list for quite some time. It was a power trip, but I got a lot of tourist spots in that short amount of time. The cost breakdown: [...]
Tonight I went to a place my friends have been raving about when they go for a Happy Hour or Dinner called Vino Wine & Tapas Room in Encino. Tapas restaurants are actually my favorite places to eat, so I was thrilled that I was finally checking it out! Entering the establishment, there was Spanish [...]
Hi guys! It's that time of year again where I reflect on 2018 and what you can expect from SoCal Shuffle in 2019. 2018 was such a crazy and fun year: I traveled more, got more freelance opportunities and I have been trying to concentrate on my well-being. So first and foremost: I realize that [...]
Before I moved to LA in August 2010, months prior I was networking with a few people I got in contact with from some of my family's friends and my friend's friends. I was going through some old emails to me and this one stuck out the most from I guy named Brian, who owns [...]
