As mentioned in our last issue, this blog was born out of a passion for travel. Most people would agree that money well spent is money spent seeing the world — experiences that make you richer than when you started, especially when they take you somewhere unknown. Our passion has always been to enrich life, to see more, and to appreciate more. Over the years, we’ve been lucky enough to visit many corners of the world, and this issue marks the beginning of a series dedicated to those journeys. The original purpose behind California Collective was exactly that — to travel, see, and document the world as we experienced it.
Traveling looks glamorous on Instagram, but the truth is it’s a mix of research, plane tickets, trains, cars, and plenty of mistakes. That’s what makes the experience richer — every trip teaches you something new about people, culture, and food, even if it’s within your own country. The farther you go from home, the more unique those discoveries become.
We often plan our trips with help from friends, family, and strangers on the internet, so this corner of the web is exactly that — a space to share what we’ve learned along the way. This Travel Edition series will explore different regions of the world, from Asia to Europe to the Americas. We hope that sharing our experiences and recommendations will spark something in our readers — a reminder that the best things money can buy are experiences. For us, travel remains one of the most enriching parts of life, and this series is a way to pass that on.
