I just spent a week in San Diego and stayed in Ocean Beach and I can't really express what it all meant to me. I went to visit a friend who is spending the summer out there, I hadn't been to the US for about 10 years and tbh went without really knowing what to expect.
I picked a hostel in OB because it was close to where my friend was staying, read some horror stories online about the area, figured it was gonna be exactly my kind of place.
What I wasn't expecting though was how insanely friendly literally everyone was. I can't remember a single time I locked eyes with someone in the street and they didn't smile. So many strangers on the beach or sat at nearby tables would just strike up a conversation. Everyone seemed so down to just interact for the sake of interacting.
