It was fun to interview my good friend Adam Sterling of The Sterling Traveler about Laguna Beach, California. Adam grew up in Laguna Beach and lives in Orange County, so he knows the best things to do in Laguna Beach. I find it interesting how the city maintains its artistic roots even as it continues to evolve. If you haven’t heard of the Pageant of the Masters, you are in for a treat.

Who is Adam Sterling?
Adam Sterling works in technology by day and focuses on earning miles and points at night. He writes about his latest travel adventures and loyalty programs at The Sterling Traveler.
Adam also teaches people how to earn and use airline miles and hotel points at The Points Curator. I recently took his latest course and believe it is an excellent option for people to learn the basics of traveling using miles and points at a reasonable price.
Here are a couple of articles that he’s written:
- What to do in Park City in the Summer
- Is Basic Economy Worth it?
- Get the Most Value from Your Points and Miles
As you can tell, his writing is a valuable resource for anyone that loves to travel using airline miles and hotel points.
You can connect with Adam Sterling at his website and on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.
