So whoever has been going through my thread "Would I be OK living in LA?" probably knows I went there on vacation. So I decided I'll post a bunch of pictures from the trip. I'll be going by each day. All of these pictures were shot on my iPhone 6 and they're all unedited.

Here we go...

Day 1
The flight and arriving at LAX






Being a skater (not a very good one haha) The first thing I had to do after checking into the hostel was visit the Venice skatepark. I already loved this place. So dope.








I loved knowing this little gem was just a few blocks down from my hostel on Brooks ave. For those who don't know, its Hank Moody's apartment from Californication. Only the greatest show ever created.



Obligatory animal style pic.




Took a drive down the PCH into malibu.




Just an awesome picture I liked in venice.




Thats my hostel to the right of the sign.




Ending day one. Decided to take the 405N to the 10 to go bar hopping in DTLA after seeing the nightlife in Venice seems to die off after 10ish. Unfortunately didnt find anything but I still loved the old fashioned feel.






So thats day one. I'll post more soon.

Great pictures. Next time you come out, try the Frolic Room in Hollywood for your cool bar fix . I haven't been in years, but I'm guessing it hasn't changed all that much. I have a feeling it would appeal to you .

Awesome pics! It's like I took them because you practically traced the same foot steps as when I visit there!

You were on Broadway in DTLA and on the wrong part of it at that. Lots of bars just one block over on spring st.

Ha, we passed that bar about to go there and skipped it thinking it was a gay bar just by the name alone. Next time. We ended up at this bar on hollywood and vine which was real chill.

I drove through more than that. There was one block with 2 bars open with people outside of them but I skipped it.

Day 2

Started the day checking out Marina Del Ray.





Went to NoHo to look at some apartments and got some tacos at this little hole in the wall. Casita taco de carbon.



Thought this house was cool. Pretty sure it was abandoned.



Santa Monica






Day 3

I always said to myself I'd go through the "hood" before I went but never thougth I actually would. Glad I did




After that I drove all the way to mulholland to test my beastly 2015 Camry rental through the twisties. Wish I had my car with me. Mulholland was an amazing drive!




Finished Mulholland turning onto Lauren canyon eventually ending up on sunset because I just had to go here:

I had 2 chili dogs, a chili cheeseburger, and a corona........


Third day in Venice and couldn't believe I didnt check the canals out yet. Alot smaller than I imagined but I found it so peaceful.




Somehow ended up somewhere in East LA at night near some industrial area......
