  3. Venice beach, really 🤮 avoid this place at all costs, it’s sleazy, filled with homeless,drug addicts and smells like marijuana. Santa Monica is not much different. 5 years ago I would’ve agreed with you but no longer

  4. I’m so so glad I’ve come across your video as I really really want to visit California. Coming from the uk and having a max of two weeks to visit I think possibly we’d have to start south and hope to be able to come back to do north. I’ve never visited the 🇺🇸 and it’s an absolute dream. I couldn’t come to the 🇺🇸 for the first time and not pay the main mouse a visit so I think south would be first on our agenda. The stargazing looked absolutely incredible ❤

  5. Nigeria's other natural resources include natural gas, tin, iron ore, coal, limestone, niobium, lead, zinc and arable land, that you can invest into in Nigeria do well to come buy and also invest in civil engineering also they are company that for sell in Nigeria you can meet Asiwaju Tinubu Bola Amhed Nigeria President

  6. If you go to sf your vehicle will get broken into. Just don’t go. Most beautiful city but the politics enable criminals. Look it up. And avoid that place. Locals even accept it, it’s weirrrrd

  7. Hi @bemytravelmuse! Thanks for the video. Do you think this trip is also possible beginning of January? I'm afraid of road blocks due to icey temperatures in the national parks.

  8. I like your video. You do a good job describing all of the places, but give me some changes in your tone in your voice. Maybe a pause to look at the scenery and just play some music.

  9. This is such a biased checklist. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of people are leaving California because of how trashy full of homeless and terrible the whole state is I think skip everything just head to the mountains and the national parks…….
