Welcome to A Note from the Coast. Our love of travel, pursuit of adventures, and curiosity about people, places and cultures is in our DNA. As creatives, we have a sense of wanderlust, find joy in experiences and storytelling.
With careers spanning from marketing and public relations to real estate and freelance journalism, we took a pause during the pandemic of 2020 and began blogging about all things travel, real estate, architecture and what fills life with a sense of joie de vivre. Our stories, insider tips, and lens on the impact travel can make at any stage in one’s life continue to shape A Note from the Coast.
We hope what you read here will inspire you to expand the borders of your life and travel with confidence, curiosity, and a sense of wonder. And see marketing, storytelling and life from a fresh perspective.
We invite to you stop by often, read and reread stories, sign up for our monthly newsletter or tell us about one of your recent trips! Most importantly, as part of this community, we hope you follow us on Facebook, Instagram and X.
So as Ibn Battuta said, “Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” We hope you enjoy our stories!
