I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
There are so many amazing places to eat and drink in Southern California, from restaurants to bakeries to wineries, and even gourmet food trucks. So many places, in fact, that when it comes to trying new places, I sometimes find it hard to know where to start! But I just found out about a unique way to explore some of the best little gems on a fun foodie adventure. I can’t wait to try a Mystery Picnic in Southern California.
Mystery Picnic is a one-of-a-kind concept by AmazingCo, a cool business platform that offers unique, curated experiences and ways to explore different cities in unexpected ways.
When you book a Mystery Picnic, you will embark on a self-guided adventure using your phone. Along the way, you are given clues to solve that lead to a variety of destinations in your chosen city.
Each clue will take you to a local artisan spot where you will pick up gourmet treats to add to your picnic basket - things like salads, sandwiches, breads and pastries, cheeses, charcuterie, desserts, and even wine or other beverages.
AmazingCo keeps adding cities to its list of offerings with adventures available throughout SoCal in places like Santa Barbara, Santa Monica and Venice, Pasadena, Malibu, and Big Bear.
There are a variety of options aside from the city itself. There are Mystery Picnics for couples, for friends, and for families. There are picnics that include bonus stops, hot drinks, and even surprise take-home items and experiences.
AmazingCo also provides you with suggestions for additional activities and points of interest in the city to extend your adventure.
