2025 Sonoma County Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

#springitinerary The Sonoma Coast in spring was a masterpiece of rugged cliffs and colorful blooms. I drove Highway 1 from Bodega Bay, stopping to walk the bluff trails above hidden beaches. The wildflowers were out in full force — yellow, purple, and orange carpeting the green hills. Cool breezes and dramatic waves added to the magic. #springitinerary tip: bring a picnic and stop at Shell Beach or Goat Rock for incredible views. It’s less touristy than Big Sur but just as stunning in its own untamed way.

We travel a lot - 51 countries so far - but laying down on the earth still excites! Beach, field, forest or mountain meadow - go for it. Here's a budget travel hack: We go to fancy coffee places but buy a large or venti, ask for a double cup and then share it. And BTW, Pleasant Journeys! #earthing #sunbathing #meadows #mytravelvlog #travelhack
