About: Benjamin

Benjamin

I’m a 34 year old, beach volleyball playing, photograph taking, taco stand eating, single guy who grew up in SoCal, backpacked Europe, and lived in DC, New Jersey and Boston.  During my downtime I can be found on the beach, attending events around town or exploring a new part of town.

What would you do on your ideal San Diego day?

I’d start with a leisurely, late morning brunch.  Spend some time on the beach.  Grab some rolled tacos at a taco stand and then grab a nap.  In the evening I’d hit the Gaslamp District for dinner and then end the night at a rooftop bar/lounge.

If you were invisible, where would you go?

If I got to pick a superpower, I don’t know that I would pick invisibility…but if I were to become Mr. Invisible, I guess I would go to all the live music, theater and symphony performances in town.

What is your favorite San Diego outdoor activity?

On a beautiful, San Diego day there is nothing better than playing beach volleyball.  On days when I prefer to be less active I’ll hit up one of the big attractions or just walk around Balboa Park people-watching!

Do you prefer burgers and beer or linguine and red wine?

Both actually!  That’s the beauty of the San Diego food scene.  I CAN have my cake and eat it too!  Depending on my mood (and my finances!) I am happy to chow down at a hole-in-the-wall neighborhood spot or a luxury steakhouse.
