Thank you so much for watching! ❤️ Coming up next week I fly to Las Vegas to explore the Valley of Fire & Bryce Canyon 🔥 Make sure you hit that notifications bell to stay in the loop! 🔔 Otherwise, what was your favorite part of this video? That boogie board scene was pretty ridiculous, right? 😂 Also, if you would like to support this channel, check out the all new Travel Deeper Merch Store: traveldeeper.shop

Hey Gareth, full of fun along the journey, dive in & foods to indulge. Ohyeah

[@masonshucart7055]

My happy place here living in San Diego is morley field disc golf (Balboa Park) then hitting the market place deli on 5th avenue

[@KhoaNguyennn]

As a San Diegan, I'm loving all this SD specific videos!! I love it

[@GarethLeonard]

Much more to come in the future, thanks Khoa! 🙏

[@vivianamedrano3767]

[@californiathroughmylens]

A fun video on San Diego, lots of my favorite spots, especially the sea cave! Let me know if you want to make another video in California sometime!

[@GarethLeonard]

Most definitely!!

[@norwegianblue2017]

Man, you really get San Diego. You do SD like locals do. We have nightlife like any big city, but San Diego is really a daytime town if you want to make the most of it. Take advantage of things you can't do in most cities and the amazing weather. I also appreciate how you don't yell into the camera trying to amp up the video.

[@Turtlemilk]

Kiss me

[@rbunny480]

You should've done a night cap hanging at the pier in Coronado - there's a perfect little spot to sit and look over the SD skyline. Great video. Reminds me how lucky I am to live here!

[@GarethLeonard]

Oh that's a great idea Renee! I love going over to that little beach next to the pier in Coronado and looking out at the city at sunset!! We are very lucky to call this place home! 🙏

[@rakeshsinghal9920]

You can always tell when someone’s travelled a lot because of humble and honest they are. Good content

[@GarethLeonard]

I truly appreciate that, Rakesh. 🙌

[@heber903]

Damn ive been here 26 years and never knew about LIberty station LMAO

[@GarethLeonard]

Haha, it's time! 😃

[@SoapinTrucker]

Yeah, let's not talk about how many of us PASSED Navy Boot Camp there back in the day(s)! LOL ;)

[@mareenalewis4241]

😂 rattlesnake socks! Did you go up the front of cowles or the fire road? That fire road is treacherous in the dark.

[@GarethLeonard]

Haha, they are a must! 😂 We went up the front of Cowles. I've never done the fire road.

[@christophermuller6546]

What is that one store called in La Jolla where you walk in the store and go down a bunch of steps and it leads you to a cave? I think to access the cave that's the only way to get to it

[@user-xm5cj5js2d]

日本からこんにちは 🇯🇵 今は米国にいるんですね 🇺🇸

[@chac65]

Hiked Cowles mountain 100's of times. NOTE: socks will NOT protect you from rattlesnakes.

[@GarethLeonard]

Haha, it was just a joke to scare Tyler... it didn't work 🐍

[@BAMMEDIA]

I just started a Travel Channel and go to San Diego all the time and I love the way you did this vlog

[@itsluhmello]

I’ve lived in San Diego my whole life, I knew most of these places yet I watched the whole thing anyway.

Hey Gareth, Pinoy here, are you going back to the Philippines? Watched your Philippine series. I live here in San Diego but i miss Philippines so much. Looking forward to more of your vlogs.

[@GarethLeonard]

I miss the Philippines too! Hopefully I can go back when the world opens back up again 🙏 🇵🇭

[@thesassymom6621]

We are so spoiled here in SD!!

[@GarethLeonard]

True story!

[@TableForOne2025]

Making San Diego look pretty awesome! As a resident, it makes me appreciate my city even more, thanks!! 😁

[@KimInCalifornia]

Actually, Cowles Mountain is pronounced with a long vowel "O" sound...properly KOHLZ...named after George A. Cowles, who was a rancher, farmer, and businessman here in the 1870s-80s. Orginally from the East Coast, Cowles moved to San Diego, expanded his fortune and became known as the “Raisin King of the US.”

[@GarethLeonard]

Very interesting, thanks for the info Kim!

[@bettygehm2436]

@@GarethLeonard yeah I was gonna say pronounced Coles.... don't feel bad everybody does it... even long time SD residents... I am really enjoying your videos. Not sure if you have explored the East County... Julian and beyond to the desert. That would make a great video.

[@Jeff-S-Grimes]

SD is heaven on earth, for me at least Like this excellent video captures the trails, ocean, and food/drink remain epic even after many years "America's Finest City" 😎

[@a.j.maldonado9540]

High socks does not stop rattlesnake fangs!!!!

[@DeysiG]

So far I’m convinced I want to live in SD

[@TylerCave]

Another day with amazing food, pushing San Diego to the limit. Love it

[@GarethLeonard]

SHRED LEVEL 💯

[@TomLloyd-18]

I'm curious: How much did you have to pay Tyler for his socks?

[@ralphpruitt2731]

Love the video. But please tell me how a pair of white tube socks is gonna protect you against the hypodermic sharpness of a pair of rattlesnake fangs

[@MichelePonte]

What a breakfast, just amazing!

[@GarethLeonard]

You need to swim a few miles after this one... although you'll probably sink after this burrito! LOL

[@BoomTDB_BSV]

Moving to San Diego in a couple of weeks and I can’t wait 🌴💯

Please don't get rid of the bloopers at the end. It makes my day. Awesome video as always. Cheers!

[@GarethLeonard]

Haha, yes!!

[@MHix63]

Lol..."I ate a lot of meat yesterday"...then chows down on chicken and poke. BTW, the poke at It's Raw Poke Shop in OB is the best in San Diego. Legit hawaiian poke, not the "poke bowls".

[@marcus40709]

i always enjoy watching your vlogs since that accidental kiss with your boss, in Spain..or Peru...hahaha! But, you really came to life starting from your Japan vlog and at your best with the Russian series. Ooops..the first time also I watched you goofed around in that BTS IRELAND ROAD TRIP.

[@GarethLeonard]

Thank you very much! It's always tough to show my true personality when I'm traveling and filming solo! I realized this awhile back and definitely want to incorporate traveling with more people to bring this out. Thanks for following along 👊

[@arm4tura]

Privet, Garreth, just watched your Trans-sib tour, that amazing, to my shame look at my country in your videos, but I really enjoyed this videos, thanks for subtitles :) Hope to see you in my home region named Republic Of Sakha (Yakutia) advise you to visit us during winter, because capital of republic is the biggest city in zone of eternal frost!

[@LadyTrooper]

Thanks, Gareth! Visiting San Diego at the end of August 2022 - plan to check out some of these gems. (Fellow Upstate NY alum here - recognize the accent...!)

Living here in San Diego we are paying Sun Tax....but it's worth it from a native.

Not many people actually social distancing or wearing masks. This is why Southern California is not doing well with Covid compare to Bay Area. How many medical professionals have died for people’s “liberty “

The biggest hidden jem in San Diego is not a on the street corner or a food truck . Its #ElBorregoRestaurant in City Heights, with real plates where every dish is made rom scratch. My wife and mother in law have owned it for 20 year and serve the best lamb and corn fungus tacos you have never tried 😃
