Just go to Irvine. beaches are great. traffic is manageable outside the freeways. lot of things to do
We just got back from LA Monday and we couldn’t be more disappointed. The place is a dump
U was the celebrity there 😂💯 that woulda made my day as well
Very classy ❤ I was born in Los Angeles California USA 💞
Dont bother, a load of bollocks
Moved here to LA a year and a half ago. All of these are pin point accuracy statements.
Don't go , If you do , Don't go to far from the boardwalk !
Been binging your content. Such a refreshing style. Thanks !
i'd say if people want to see famous people they need to go to the comedy store, hollywood improv, laugh factory for cheap. And do a Sony studios, warner bros lot tour. That'll sum it up… Maybe a dodger dodger game for the friday night fireworks. Malibu beach for a nice clean beach to go to. Other than that, it's all trash.

The land of the fruits and nuts lol, well earned title!!
Damn so don’t go to LA 😂 😅
Celebrities not approved
Hi everyone, is there a good app for the west coast that allows you to book parking spaces and car parks in LA and the like (from Germany)?
life long angelino here. The top 3 places i recommend to my family and friends are Ktown, farmers market by the grove, and little tokyo
Los Angeles native here, born AND raised. Sony Studios in Culver City is convenient with great local restaurants in downtown Culver.
Hotel. Consider staying in Westchester or Culver (ie Hotel June/ Hilton Culver City). You can pivot to various parts of LA in about 30 min or less and it’s close to SoFi Stadium and Intuit Dome. Cheers and Welcome! Sending a ton of LA love ❤️ and sunshine your way! 🌞 🌴
You lost me at "stay in West Hollywood". No, thank you.
Thanks for sharing these fantastic travel hacks for LA! For those who’ve been to LA before, what’s one thing you wish you had known before your trip?
Chicago is my ht
Santa Monica is not part of the city of La it’s its own city
My first video of yours, liked and subscribed!
That fan encounter was the cutest!!
Interesting that you say "tour" like "tore." Where are you from originally?
it all looks crappy – so where are the nice places
The hack with parking is just Ubers
Funny story: My wife and I went to the aquarium at the end of the Manhattan Beach pier last summer and while we were checking in (the tiny aquarium has a maximum patron limit) the young host asked us where we were from and when we answered San Jose, he replied, “Oh, isn’t that where Chuck E Cheese first opened?!” 😂 – my wife and I laughed, thinking that’s what people know our hometown for. 🤷🏻♂️ btw, on that same trip, we hit the Venice Canals as well and some other “hidden” spots.
Born and raised in L.A. the highlights you are giving are not OG. you’re highlighting the new trendy parts, which are very cool to visit but not original. For example, Guisados is amazing and yes, the food is authentic, but it’s Very New. Where is Olvers Street? 7th and Figueroa, Chinatown, East Los Angeles.
Oh stop. Venice is charming. You can over look the homeless. Been there lots.
is car parking expensive in LA?
LA all over is setup for expectations from the locals to get tourist money. That's because Hollywood, and the ocean is there at the same time. They see you coming if your from out of town, either the the coastal near the beach areas or the shops. But since the CV19 lockdown it's been different. The drugs were a legal standown and still are. No arrests unless it's a dealer so people are dying out there fairly often. Homeless overdosing. Never was that way before the lockdown and the drug standoff for police but that's how it is now. Police have been cleaning out the homeless for about 2 years of tents, and RV's on the streets, the boardwalk, the library, but they were mostly on the boardwalk and gone for a year now.
Will it make a tourist comeback? Nope. That was all about Hollywood, and all the vampires, Getty Museum, Skirball, BelAir (royals), Hollywood Hills, Studio City, Beverly Hills and all the rich canyon areas in LA County with mansions nearly 10 million, or more.
The world out out about it and it got backed up on realrawnews.com what the military was doing to clean it up. That's been out for about 3 years of articles now. Most people realize anything north of Santa Monica is vampire territory.
Wow, thanks for the awesome tips on navigating Los Angeles! Your travel hacks are a game-changer, and I appreciate the effort you put into sharing these insights. Could you explore and feature the Quantum Clinic in your next video? It's an incredible floating spa clinic specializing in mental wellness, led by experts with years of experience. It would be fantastic to see how it fits into the LA experience.
Your videos are great 👍🏻. Way above 95% of everyone else on YouTube doing something similar.
You’re doing a fantastic job offering content beyond what most people can learn from the standard tourist website or travel guides. Keep it up !
What camera are you using to vlog?
This video is wonderful! I get tired out by intense tourist destinations so this was a good alternative! Lots of love from 🇬🇧
The top thing I dislike about LA: the celebrety culture. I could not give a rats ass if Beyonce or or Ariana were there…
As a born and raised Mexican Angeleno I chuckled when you said Guisados was authentic Mexican food 😂 next you'll say Yoshinoya is authentic Japanese food
I've been watching all those LA related videos before my trip there and I'm surprised how everyone mentions not to expect to meet celebrities. Are tourists actually that retarded? It's like expecting to see Warren Buffet when you go to take a selfie on Wall Street.
Thank you. The strand trail I had no idea I’m from Canada and go to Santa Monica in October every year
I traveled a lot around Europe, China and US, lot of cities, several countries and many attractions in all of them… But I've never seen a city like LA in my whole life… It's so dirty, full of garbage, in a steep and deep decline… there are an incredible number of homelesses in any corner and all along the sidewalks, even in the so called "walk of fame" which is probably just the ghost of what it supposed to be once… a big inequality is visible all around, and shiny luxury cars pass continously next to desperate souls.
I recently spent 3 days there, and I had the feeling of a zombie city where I probably never go again… But just before to go, at least, I had the pleasure of help someone around giving them water and food, something that will not be enough for fixing the failure of an entire society, but better than nothing…
Cool I wish I could be there soon
I like the way this blogger is so friendly with people. He's so warm!
Can people who are NOT born and raised in LA sto talking like ya’ll know the REAL LA or like you know what “I’m feeing so LA” is actually about. Cuz vlogging and drinking Kampuchea is NOT so LA
Downtown has alot of good food and bars.. west Hollywood feels so fake and expensive food. I would have recommended the arts district.
I love your videos88 Im from Europe and i will come to La for 5 months to do my internship. Due to your videos and content I know where to go/what to do and Im looking forward to it.
Micheal gives the best 👍🏾 tours
Travelling around the world and living between French Riviera and Dubai, I’m still searching for American version of “glitz and glamour”😂 places like Santa Barbara or Beverly Hills are clean and civilized (and far too overrated), but definitely not luxurious compared to other places on planet.
I’m like a kid in a candy store in California
Thank you so much ❤️
