Palm Springs is quite litterally an oasis in the desert, perfectly spaced nearly identically distant from both San Diego and Los Angeles. It's the realm of legendary Hollywood stars like Bob Hope and the Rat Pack as well as legendary natural beauty from the mountains to the desert and Joshua Tree National Park just north of downtown. We brought three male bloggers and a select group of brands together to put on an awesome experience. Make sure to follow along on our adventure using hashtag #MenWhoBlog on your favorite social media channels.
Last month, we partnered with Visit San Diego and Kia to explore San Diego with three awesome men's lifestyle bloggers. San Diego is one of those cities that everyone wants to visit but honestly there's so much more than just beaches and conventions to see here. We've done a ton of trips recently but this one was special because I was able to provide the guys with an insider view since this is where #MenWhoBlog and ManTripping are based!
Thank you to Mazda for Sponsoring our #DrivingMatters Trip!
This time, we're doing things a bit different. Instead of visiting a city and staying in great hotels, drinking / eating amazing food, we're headed into the desert to explore parts of the United States that are easily missed unless you drive there.

Thank you to Texas Tourism and Toyota for Sponsoring our San Antonio Guys Weekend!
Earlier this year we headed south to San Antonio, Texas - where men are men, and we can enjoy our margaritas, trucks, beer, golf, and luxury lifestyle at the amazing JW Marriot. No Texas adventure would be complete of course, without trucks and we drove some of the best on the market today - Toyota's all new Tacoma. Even better is that we got to see where these babies were born and learned more about Toyota's Kaizen philosophy for continuous improvement.
