Hometown Challenge: My Favorite Photos of Los Angeles

Earlier this month, Jess from I've Bean Travelling did a photo challenge in which she shared her favorite photos of her hometown, Toronto. Inspired by this simple, yet poignant idea of showcasing one's home city, I've decided to go ahead and do one of my own, Los Angeles. I was born and raised in the … Continue reading Hometown Challenge: My Favorite Photos of Los Angeles

Bloggers with a View

Happy weekend, folks!

Considering that the future of travel is still up in the air (pun intended), I had the pleasure of collaborating with Véro from My French Chronicles​ to showcase beautiful views from around the world. Check out my part from Los Angeles (starts at 1:25)! Bonne journée! 🙂

Lost in LA: West Los Angeles (PART 2)

Venice Beach, California (January 2020). Over two years have passed since I last wrote about West LA. I had discussed the neighborhoods of Westwood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and the Pacific Palisades, as I had gone to those places during my time as a college student.
