The Magic of the views of the sea and the mountain together is tremendowsly inspiring. I followed that reccomendation and I loved it.
Thanks for sharing.
Greetings from Colombia
Lost me with your shopping bro, seeya
Just discover your blog. Im going to visit soon.
Huntington Gardens is NOT in Pasadena!!!! That's Arcadia!
Ive lived in Canada and have dreamed of California my entire life. I really enjoyed your video, Id love to come see these places that Ive heard about my entire life, but for now, watching this was a nice vacation from the frozen north. Ive always wanted to be a tour guide in my hometown of Montreal, youve inspired me to make a simillar video 🙂
Merci et au revoir
You do NOT know LA 😂🫵
Drinking my morning coffee while watching your LA videos and being from LA 😂
😂.
Best video I have come across so far 👍🏻
Question on "West Side Hikes": is it generally safe to be hiking there? Seemed a tad eery in this video, in terms of not many people walking around. // Great video btw!!
Where can I find that hidden abonded zoo spot for the picnic? Need to bookmark that location looks great
I would hate to live like this.
😍Wow, what an awesome guide to experiencing Los Angeles like a local! Thanks for the insider tips on where to eat, explore, and unwind. One gem I'd add to the list for mental wellness is Quantum Clinic. It's a hidden oasis for holistic healing and mental rejuvenation that locals swear by. Trust me, a visit here will elevate your LA experience to a whole new level! 🌟
Why is the almond milk so CHEAP in la. 00:40
What a great intro!!!
The ending got me subscribing
la local here. ama.
We don’t fear the rain we just don’t have a clue what to do. 😂
awesome video!! moving there this august
I appreciate your hiking trail recommendations 👏🏻
Why do transplants portray LA natives like that? Do you guys actually know an LA native & not Skyler that’s being living here for a year but is really from Ohio.
Just too many homeless and Drugs
haha i love love love everything about this video! thank you!
That zoo looks like a horror movie waiting to happen though.
Add Elysian Park, Vista Hermosa Park, and Angels Gate Park to your non-touristy guide 😀
like and sub for vegan 0:33
Your voice in videos is helpful for me to study English. Thumb up !!!
Just a tip. Locals love the rain. Complaining about rain automatically outs you as a tourist.
Love it, great video! Super pumped for my first solo trip to LA this weekend!
Thank you Michael, I'm a local been here all my life and I never knew about the westside hikes. I will have to check them out. great video and again thank you.
Oh my goodness! A beach bonfire sounds amazing! I'm definitely going to check that out during my trip this November!
To travel la like a local, start off by not bathing for several weeks, next get a shopping cart and fill it with trash, you'll need that later to throw at cars as you yell obscenities at them. The next thing you'll need is a drug addiction or a crippling mental illness, this will come naturally as you are crushed by poverty. Finally you'll need a tent that smells like urine to set up under an overpass.
Hey buddy , want any host in india ?
The old zoo is one of my favorite places to take out of towners. The Huntington is awesome too. Also go to the Gamble house in Pasadena
Looking forward to seeing the day trips from LA …like are they actual do able – San Diego, Joshua tree Palm Springs
Nice 👍🏻- thanks for sharing the California vibes. Feels like you’re a local which was always living there. Very good quality and the sunset are a dream.
Hi Michael, great vid – very helpful! I'm in LA next week from London and I'd love to visit Lake Hollywood Park, but can't drive, so relying on public transport or Uber. I assume I can I get an Uber to the Park, but can I get an Uber back? (I'm staying near the Beverley Shopping Centre). Any help appreciated! Don't want to be stuck out there!
just subscribed good job keep it up!
Montecito!!!
Are you going to try to Keep Up in Calabasas next?
Smooth ending. Very Smooth
