Just a dozen miles north of Santa Cruz is the hidden gem Davenport, California. It’s an incredible coastal city with jaw-dropping beaches and small-town vibes.
You read that right. A DAY TRIP to Yosemite! It’s completely possible if you live in the Bay Area, or even within 200 miles of Yosemite.

Accommodations: I use Booking.com to book hotels, B&Bs, apartments, inns, homes, and other unique stays. They often have great deals, and Genius Members get extra discounts.
Activities: Find tours, tickets, and experiences worldwide on Viator, including private tours, entry tickets, transportation, local experiences, and group tours.
eSIM: I use Airalo whenever I travel internationally. It's cheap, has incredible coverage (even on a tiny Caribbean island), and is easy to install. No physical SIM card necessary!
Universal Adapter: A fast-charging universal travel adapter with multiple ports lets you quickly charge phones and laptops at the same time while traveling internationally where the plugs are different.
Power Bank: I carry an Anker Power Bank for long days of exploring to quickly charge my phone on-the-go so I never have to search for outlets at cafes or navigate a new place with a dead phone.
