About those California clichés
California is a famously diverse state with plenty of people, places and things represented. Still, the silly stereotypes won’t quit (you know the ones).
The thing is, California clichés can be a little bit true sometimes. And if you ask me, that’s where the fun is!
Sure, some call this the left coast as a put down, but the savvy consider it a term of endearment. We know California isn’t perfect, but there’s no place we’d rather be.
So let’s look at it with a little levity.
I’m cruising California in a convertible, wearing cliché-colored sunglasses, for a lighthearted look at all things:
hippie dippy, fruity nutty, veggie yogi, local foodie,
tree huggy, celebrity crushy, beach bummy, surfer dudie,
day trippy, trail trekky, culture quirky, eco snooty,
wine tipsy, bucket listy, artsy fartsy, indie groovy.
Love California like I do?
Join me on a journey to map out the hella fun, awesome, gnarly, chill escapes — no hate — in the great Golden State. (Layin’ on the lingo totally tongue in cheek. Savvy?)
Stay tuned for more from Savvy California, and please tell your friends.

To sleuth out the sweet spots, chat up the experts, hang with the locals, and share what I learn with savvy readers.
I live with my husband Troy, an airline pilot with a vintage race car habit, and my dog Gracie, a total terrorist terrier and terrific road tripper.
