About Us: Your California Exploration Allies

Welcome to California, the breathtaking Golden State, where dreams come to life and hidden treasures await your discovery! I’m Zell, born and raised in the picturesque Bay Area of Northern California. Together with my husband Mushi, who has been immersed in the California lifestyle for over three decades, we look forward to offering you the insights we’ve gathered from our years spent exploring this remarkable state.

My life has always revolved around the area’s charming blend of natural beauty and city vibrancy. Professionally, I’ve found fulfillment in the education sector, in roles such as a teacher, school principal, and director of special education. My professional experience in education has deepened my understanding of the diverse communities in California and sharpened my ability to share valuable insights. My desire is to use these skills to help you navigate your California travels with our comprehensive tips and guides.

My wonderful partner in this venture is Mushi, a seasoned California dweller of over 30 years. Mushi began his career in the Navy, working in communications, a specialty he carried over into civilian life after 20 years of service. His professional journey led him to the tech heartland of Silicon Valley, and he now continues his work in the IT industry in our home base—the dynamic Sacramento region.
