THE ULTIMATE LA BUCKET LIST
I am an east coast girl, born in the South, raised in New England… but I must say, I am lovin’ west coast Cali life.
I wanted to go visit my friend, Alicia, who moved to LA a few years ago, so I took off a week of work and headed to the west coast for an epic trip! I was able to catch up with a few friends in LA and was able to cross off a bunch of items off my bucket list. My days were jam-packed with lots of adventure and I loved every minute of it.
Everything about LA was amazing, the beaches, the weather, the food, the atmosphere. What’s not to love?!
Here is the ultimate bucket list for every traveler heading to sunny California.
