9 Places I Loved In Los Angeles

Do you ever stop and realize that you have only been to a certain city for work? As in, you rush in, have your meetings, maybe have a nice meal or two, and then dash home? This has been my relationship with LA! Well, until October 2019.

I decided that I needed to explore more of LA and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. Also, I discovered some awesome spots! As a result, I wanted to share a blog post recapping nine places I discovered and loved. There’s also a YouTube video for this post, so depending on how you prefer to consume content, you can also check that out to see more of the spots I am recommending!

Staying At The Hotel Beverly Terrace In Los Angeles

In this blog post, I’ll share my honest review of my stay. Keep an eye at the end of this post for a YouTube video where I take you around the hotel and inside my hotel room.

Ah, Malibu! What a magical place.

In October 2019, I found myself driving down the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) on a gorgeous, sunny day with the dream of exploring different beaches in Malibu. Here’s what I discovered.

Travel: A Daytrip To Oxford, UK

How have I lived in the UK for five years and never visited Oxford? As fate would have it, my UK visa program, now called The Global Talent Visa (formerly Tech Nation Visa), was hosting an event at the university and a group of us decided to go earlier to see more of Oxford. This happened in late January 2020, before COVID-19. Our day ended up being so much fun and I wanted to share some highlights with you, should you want to plan a day trip to Oxford!

Reflecting on 2019

I am a big believer in reflecting on your year. Why? At the end of the year, it’s easy to forget what truly happened over the past 365 days. As a result, I started looking back on my year. My process involves looking back month by month to reflect on what was happening – both good and bad – across my personal and professional life. I go through my calendar, my camera roll, this blog and my business site, JessicaGioglio.com, to help jog my memory.

Why do I do this? I want to fully process and reflect on all of the things I did across work, my travels, times with friends and family. I find that I have a tendency to forget things that happened or to summarize my year if I do not thoroughly reflect. I also believe that in order to be mindful about goal setting for the following year, you need to have an honest assessment of how the previous year went.

Instead of doing this privately for 2019, I wanted to use this blog post to share my process with you. In this post, I’ll share my 2019 highlights and key learning’s with you. I’ll also summarize how my reflections are shaping my 2020 goal-setting process. Are you ready? Let’s jump in!
