California 🇺🇸 Summer Trip ☀️
Summer trip in California, United States 🇺🇸. The weather is hot, but the view was stunning in the morning, afternoon and even nights! I’m in love 💕
After a few days in San Jose, we traveled to Santa Cruz by bus. They are very close to each other. We spent a lovely day in Santa Cruz. Especially in the theme park, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk 🏖️
The price of the ticket to play in the amusement park was very worth it! You can ride all the rides as many times as you want. They were all very fun😊
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. From the heart-pounding adrenaline rush of the Giant Dipper to the family fun of Bulgy the Whale. Every single one of us was so happy. Our favorite rides are always the Loggers and Giant Dipper 🎢 As for loggers, you get to enjoy a panoramic ocean view from high above the park as you float around a watery track. Keep your eyes open for the final drop, and expect to get wet 💦
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk
📍400 Beach St, Santa Cruz, CA 95060, United States
If you walk down the street, there are lots of seafood restaurants and the price are all affordable. The seafoods were all very fresh. Would definitely recommend you all to visit if you are around San Jose‼️ Definitely worth to visit 🙌🙌

A colourful fisherman’s village in LA
Fisherman’s village is a cute shopping area and boating dock that is located in Marina Del Rey, Los Angeles. It is built in the New England style and dates back to 1967, it has recently been made famous as the location for the ‘banana stand’ in the netflix comedy Arrested Development.

There is often live music in the area or it’s a great place to watch the various boats coming in and out of the marina. Depending on the season you can see the 4th of July fireworks, boating parades or the various rowing teams from LA universities practicing in the water.

The Infamous Santa Monica, Los Angeles
Santa Monica is an iconic beachside town in Los Angeles, California. It is famous for being the setting for countless films, tv shows and music videos - you will definitely recognize the ferris wheel at the end of the pier.
Santa Monica has plenty of shops and restaurants and a cute little old town, it has a more relaxed vibe compared to other shopping areas of Los Angeles and is a lot more pedestrianized. Moving towards the coast Santa Monica has one of the longest and cleanest beaches in the county and the water is calm enough for swimming and relaxing. If you look up the coast you can see as far as Malibu to the north and the Airport to the south.
There is also the famous pier which is the western start / terminus of the famous route 66, you will see the road signs along the end of the pier. There are lots of amusements, cafes and snack shops and of course the ferris wheel!
It’s a good spot to head to at different times of the day, it’s quieter in the morning for sure but the night with everything lit up makes it so special so worth checking out both times to feel the different vibes.

A fascinating glimpse at the origins of LA
El Pueblo de Los Angeles historical monument is the oldest part of the city of Los Angeles and was it’s heart during Mexican, Spanish and early American rule. Directly opposite Union Station in downtown the area is a state monument and designated historic place. The area is made up of large plazas surrounded by buildings dating back to 1800, there are small streets radiating off them selling all kinds of food, gifts and clothes. There are beautiful flowers, trees and cactai lining the streets and it makes you feel like you’re a whole world away from the bustle of a modern American city.
It’s a great place to take your time and explore the details of these buildings, they are well preserved and many have pieces of art or murals that give fascinating details of the areas history.
It is one of my favourite places for food in Los Angeles with the ability to mix snacks from street vendors with flavorful meals from the many cafes and restaurants on the streets.
If you come you have to try the churros and snowcones, the best I’ve had by far!

These days it’s a hub for the cities bus, rail and long distance Amtrak services so it is a very busy place to be, but worth popping along just to take a look around one of the most beautiful buildings in Los Angeles.

The 17-Mile Drive
#timetotravel I'm so thankful that my cousin volunteered to show us around Monterey and took us on the 17-mile drive. I love the views—they were amazing. Lots of trees, sea lions, birds, the beach, and the wind in yout hair.
We also ended up in the golf course of the champions so we took pictures with their standees and read about their successes.

Up close Air Force One
Who would have thought that after watching movies about Presidents of America and the ever famous film of Harrison Ford that I got the chance to see Air Force 1 and being overwhelmed of the history that happened inside Boeing 747-200B’s. This Air Force One “Flying White House” was used by President Ronald Reagan and six other US presidents from 1973-2001.
Visit Simi Valley and see it for yourself.

The infamous Alcatraz, worth the journey!
Alcatraz Prison, Alcatraz Island - San Francisco, California.
I have always wanted to go to Alcatraz so jumped at the chance during a 48 hour stop over in San Francisco.
The prison has to be one of the most impressive museums I’ve been to in my life, the layout takes you through so much of the complex and is absolutely fascinating.
The prison is infamous as it’s use a penitentiary between the 1930’s to the 1930’s but the museum also covers the lesser known period when it was occupied by native Americans during their national protest and fight for rights and recognition.
There is so much left from both of these eras so you really get a sense of what it was like through its history.
The boat ride back and forth from the pier also gives you stunning views of San Francisco and it’s iconic hills and vistas.
Worth a trip for any history buffs and anyone that wants to better understand the history of this wonderful city. #sanfrancisco #alcatraz #california #urbanexplorer #america #history

View From Yosemite Valley Floor
One of the most beautiful national park is the Yosemite National Park where there are more than 2 million visitors visiting this national park thru out the year even in the early winter season, both foreigners and locals.
Yosemite National Park is located in california, where its filled with really tall trees, and scenic mountain ranges that covers over 1200 hectares. There are more than 18 over hiking trials here which takes you to popular lookout like the half dome, yosemite falls, bridalviel falls, glacier points and many more. Each hike ranges from a 1.6km loop to more than 5km over loop, so it depends on the amount if time you have and fitness level. It's good to plan ahead and know what you are getting into, also, during the winter time some places are close due to the ice path making it unpassable or dangerous.

Netherlands in Cali?
For the bloggers, locals, or tourists who want that Europe feel, let me introduce you to the Dutch Windmills.
Whether you want to eat lunch with a view or have a photoshoot, I highly recommend checking this place out. It's situated at the end of Golden Gate Park towards Ocean Beach. There's plenty of parking there or at the beach. You probably won't be alone, so be aware of that if you're vlogging.
After your shoot there, head to Ocean Beach for another great shoot.

Slice of France in San Francisco
This is by far the prettiest museum in Northern California. The best part is if you want a photo shoot like I did above, the outside is completely free and empty on weekdays. Whether you want the Louvre feel or pillars in your headshots, this place has got you covered.
Apparently, it's a replica of Palais de la Légion d'Honneur. So, if you're missing France, just bring your pastries and have a seat in the courtyard.
Where: 100 34th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121
Inside Lincoln Golf Course
it’s accessible by public transport too.
