As a Chicago native, it’s very rare to have warm temperatures and sandals in the month of March. More so, it’s rare to behold a spectacular view of tall, thin palm trees, rolling waves and a breathtaking view of Santa Monica’s Mountains. Santa Monica Beach is amusing and exciting for all ages. You can soak in the California Sun, walking along the iconic Santa Monica Pier or enjoy the shops and eateries. Whether you are a California native, tourist or anything in between, the site Santa Monica Beach is awe-inspiring.

Hey there! My name is Katherine Lee, but I go by Moi- a childhood nickname that has stuck throughout my entire life.  I am originally from the Bay Area and now I'm student at the Annenberg School of Communications and Journalism at USC.  The one thing I love more than hitting the gym is hitting every good restaurant wherever I am.  A foodie and a gym rat makes me quite a contradictory person, but I hey- I just like to keep things interesting!
