By
Update:Giveaway is now closed. The winner is Amy Delong. Congrats Amy and thank you all for entering!
I love being a tourist in my own town. It’s what encouraged me to start this blog. I’m setting out to explore Socal this weekend thanks in part to Apartment Guide. I’ve partnered up with them and will be setting out on some fun adventures this weekend throughout So Cal. I’m planning on hitting the Aquarium of the Pacific(we haven’t been in a while), Sea World, and a few other smaller outing. We are ready for a jam packed weekend filled with adventure in our local area.
If you are looking to move to a new city /area or getting to know your city/area, Apartment Guide has tips and articles about exploring a new city and making a space your own on the Apartment Guide blog and Moving Today. I’m taking these tips and putting them to good use! You can “Like” Apartment Guide on Facebook, follow them on Twitter @AptGuideand “circle” them on Google+for real-time tips and updates on exploring your city and neighborhood.
It’s Giveaway Time!
Apartment Guide wants you to also put these ideas to good use and they’ve given me an $50 American Express card to become an expert in your own area. All you have to do is let me know what area you would like to discover. For an extra entry follow @AptGuide on Twitter.
Giveaway ends on May 28th at 11:59pm. Good luck!
