DayTrippen was founded in 2005 to help families discover exciting attractions and destinations for day trips. The website provides comprehensive information on various places to visit, and it is unique in that each destination is personally visited and reviewed, unlike other travel sites that rely solely on online research or contributions from freelance writers. DayTrippen is the original go-to website for day-trip ideas in Southern California.

How Daytrippen started
When my son was around five years old, he used to look forward to doing something or going somewhere each weekend. During that time, no internet-based resources were available for day trips. Therefore, I had to constantly search for novel and captivating places for us to visit.
Every Monday, when I returned to work, I shared the experiences of my weekend day trips with my colleagues. One day, my boss suggested I write a book about these trips, but I was uninterested. Instead, I was intrigued by the internet’s connectivity and decided to establish Daytrippen.com as a resource for people looking for things to do and places to go for one day.
