It took me until 2022 to visit California, and so I made the most of it: after my friends’ bachelorette, me and a few friends continued on a coastal road trip of SoCal, and then I visited a friend in Redlands. Now, to go back and drive the whole coast is my next goal for Cali!!

“For this is the real nature of California and the secret of its fascination; this untamed, undomesticated, aloof, prehistoric landscape which relentlessly reminds the traveler of his human condition and the circumstances of his tenure upon the earth.”

— Christopher Isherwood
