WELCOME TO GREEN SEA SHELLS
ABOUT GREEN SEA SHELLS
Green Sea Shells is a Los Angeles–based digital magazine covering global travel, hospitality, and modern wellbeing. We report with a newsroom mindset — clear sourcing, firsthand experience, and a practical understanding of what matters to readers today.
Our editorial lens is shaped by access, design, culture, and the role that rest, movement, food, and environment play in how people live and travel. We focus on destinations with substance, programs with measurable value, and experiences that influence how readers plan their trips and structure their everyday routines.
Green Sea Shells serves a global audience but is grounded in Los Angeles, a city where hospitality, wellness, and cultural exchange converge. Our aim is to provide readers — and industry partners — with reliable, intelligent coverage that connects travel with meaningful, real-world wellbeing.
WHAT WE COVER
Travel, Transport & Destinations
We publish destination guides and travel reporting that examine location, logistics, neighborhood context, seasonality, and accessibility. Coverage includes flight routes, rail connections, local transport, ferries, and how people actually move through a place. We review hotels and resorts with attention to design, service, value, and setting.
Resorts, Spas & Wellbeing Programs
We cover destination spas, thermal springs, hydrotherapy circuits, and structured retreats, along with practitioner-led treatments and longevity or recovery programs. Our focus is on how these experiences support rest, movement, and overall wellbeing.
Dining, Food Culture & Nourishment
We review restaurants and hotel dining programs with an emphasis on plant-forward options, regional influence, and culinary technique. We also look at everyday food habits and cultural practices around eating that affect energy, mood, and long-term health.
Culture, Mind & Body
We report on cultural approaches to living well — from movement traditions and rituals of rest to community practices that shape mental and physical health. This includes mind–body disciplines, local customs around sleep, stress, and social connection, and the ways different cultures define “feeling well” in daily life.
Products, Essentials & Tools
We test travel gear, nutrition products, recovery tools, and personal-care items in real conditions. Selection is based on function, quality, and relevance to mind–body wellbeing while traveling or at home.
People, Trends & Awards
We cover industry awards, notable openings, policy or market shifts that affect global hospitality and wellness. Interviews with chefs, practitioners, founders, and cultural experts provide insight into how ideas move from concept to program, and from program to traveler experience.

Heading 1
What We're Not.
We get this question a lot. And fair enough — with a name like Green Sea Shells, you might expect something about marine life, coastal photography, or shell collecting.
That’s not us.
We’re not a magazine about oceans, marine biology, or conservation. We don’t publish stories about beach cleanups or rare shell species. The name started years ago — when this was a small wellness blog about green, plant-based living, written by someone who happened to live by the sea.
Sea shells reminded me of stillness. And “green” was for health, food, and sustainability. That’s it. Nothing poetic.
Now, Green Sea Shells is a digital magazine covering cultural wellness, global rituals, healthy travel, and how people live well — from the everyday to the ancestral.
The name stuck. The focus evolved.
