"We stayed at this place called Baja Off the Grid, which I rented through Airbnb. We paid about $300 each for five days. It was extremely beautiful — this big white house right on a cliff with windows facing the ocean."

"We spent a lot of time at the markets at La Bufadora, it was so much fun. All the shops are connected, it’s like a pathway. The stores don’t really have names, they’ll just say like, “Piña Colada,” and you go in and it’s the best piña colada."

"We would also eat ceviche at Los Panchos. They have the biggest portions. People would come off the street and sing to us and play the accordion."

"There is this one trail called Campo 9 to Playa Escondido, which was a short drive from the house. We got there and realized it was a straight drop with a rope. You have to climb down this rock wall to get to the beach. But it was worth it — it was a really beautiful private beach that was sandy with a very gentle ocean, as opposed to the wavy rock beach by our house."

"We only went into Ensenada once, for my friend’s birthday dinner, which we did at Planta Baja Sky Bar. We were dancing and laughing the whole night. The crema de calabaza, a pumpkin soup, was especially good."
