southern california / nov 2024

i landed in san diego around noon. after grabbing lunch and doing a bit of work at a cafe near my airbnb, i changed into a swimsuit and found myself exploring ocean beach and the nearby streets solo for the afternoon til sunset. there’s an unexplainable feeling i get on days like this. i especially loved standing underneath or on top of the pier and watching the waves and surfers. the ocean waves are kinda like life—before one wave is barely over there is always a new wave coming.

after checking out of my san diego airbnb, i had a couple hours to spare before my train to los angeles. of course i wanted to go to the beach but since i had my (carry on) luggage with me, i found the next best thing: the scenic lookout point at sunset cliffs.
