HiHiwelcome.this is the LA travel guidetheIf you know me, you know about my ongoing obsession with the state of California.If you don't know me- hi, hello. Where have you been all of my life?I grew up going to Cali with my family ever since I can remember.Because of this, I have always felt a sort of deep connection with California.But when I grew older and began to take these trips with my friends it was a completely different experience.I feel as though I have been able to grow up going to California and as I have changed, it's meaning to me has changed.Now when I go with my friends it gets to be whatever we want it to be.It's been fun, exciting, thrilling, liberating, life-changing.It's whatever you make of it.Today, I want to give back to the place that has given me so much.And give you the opportunity to make your LA trip exactly what you want it to be.Here are my all-time favorite places in the LA (ish) area.xo, MilanI will continue to update this list as I visit and find more spots worth sharing!
