About Me

Hi, I'm Fay! I am a retired teacher of 30 years, now living the dream in Carlsbad, CA. I love people and am by nature, very outgoing and passionate in serving others.  There is nothing more important to me than relationships as I pride myself in making others happy, and providing unparalleled customer service to welcome guests from around the world.  I am proud that we reside in the very community which we service, as we live where people vacation.

What I Love About Carlsbad & Oceanside

We live where people vacation, and this makes Carlsbad and Oceanside the ideal coastal cities in which to reside. Carlsbad is a hidden gem attracting year-round tourists from across the globe. The pristine beaches, award winning restaurants, and the endless activities are among the many reasons people visit. What do I love about my city? EVERYTHING.

About Me

Hi, I’m Andrew, and I love working out and playing the guitar. Although those are my primary passions, I also enjoy spending time alone walking by the beach and listening to music.  I have dabbled with culinary dishes and enjoy cooking my own meals. I’m inspired by a healthy lifestyle, and Southern California offers just that.

What I Love About CARLSBAD & OCEANSIDE

I love everything about Carlsbad and Oceanside, especially the great restaurants. One of my favorites is the Veggie Grill which has some amazing vegan and plant-based food. The Japanese Katsu Sliders are out of this world!
