Road-tripping around Central California




Have you guys been to a strawberry farm? I went to one located in Central California. I had the privilege to join my dad's business trip visiting fruit (strawberry, peach, orange, grapes, watermelons, honey dew) and vegetable (Sweet Corn)  farms for a week. The business tour was led by the C.H. Robinson Food Source Team. They were located in Monterey and O.M.G it was one of the most beautiful coastal cities of California. A great two day trip for those visiting San Francisco! We stayed there for five nights. There were sea otters and seals playing by the sea. Some were just chilling on the rocks next to the pier so you could literally stand right next to them.

We also took a detour on to the famous scenic drive, 17 Mile Drive which passes through Pebble Beach and Pacific Grove. If you love golf, I would highly recommend staying at Pebble beach resorts. There is a eight public and private 18-hole  golf courses. Although, accommodation is very pricey though (from my point of view).

We spent the last two nights in San Francisco. I loved this city so much. There is something about this city that makes melts my heart, especially at sunset. I am sure I'll be coming back soon because I haven't seen enough of this city yet.

Oh and I forgot to mention, we also took one day off to go to Universal Studios in L.A. Oh how i miss the good old times going on rides with my Dad.


Im still a kiddo who loves despicable me and universal studio rides =)

Pebble Beach Resort (Golf Course)






THESE WERE THE BEST GRAPES I HAVE EVER TASTED. COTTON CANDY FLAVOURED. SUCH A PITY THEY DON'T DO EXPORT DUE TO THEIR YET TO MATURE TREES. (SUPPLY IS STILL SHORT IN THE U.S)

THEY LOOK LIKE WITCH FINGERS SO THEY CALLED THEM WITCH FINGERS ....

DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT WOULD TASTE GOOD YEA? BUT THE SKIN IS ACTUALLY VERY THIN AND IT'S REALLY SWEET AND TASTEFUL


The sweetest corn i have ever had in my life.


Watermelon juice drinking competition!

Getting intense!
