Greetings! I would like to introduce myself, I'm Ron. We're going to have a great day touring my new hometown. I use to visit San Diego many years from Los Angeles before finally deciding to move to San Diego. Why did I move to San Diego? Because of the laid back life style, awesome people, less traffic, and beautiful weather. There are amazing beaches that are easily accessible, cool pockets of neighborhoods and great eateries. A little about me. I have worked in the produce industry for over 25 years servicing major hotels restaurants and country clubs. I am very service oriented, and I enjoy interacting with people. I enjoy sports, seeing live sporting events, passion for traveling the world and finding that awesome unbeaten path. I have used ToursByLocals from my past travels to Japan and Switzerland, I am very familiar with the service which brings me to this unique opportunity to be your guide. It would be my pleasure to be able to share interests of my new hometown of San Diego with you. Let's get going and enjoy the day together! Produce Sales Executive, 25 years. Licensed Optician, Cal State Northridge With my work experience in produce sales, it brought me an introduction to world of tourism which I've been able to learn from and utilize with my job. I gained the knowledge of how to tour economically, to see the off beaten path with the locals, cleverly navigate through cities and focus on seeing snapshot of places when visiting with short amount of time. This gave me to have the instincts of a travel guide.
