20 Places That I Absolutely Have To Travel To Before I Die

@adventurouskate

I have always loved the idea of exploring the world and seeing all the beautiful things it has to offer. As a college student, that isn't too feasible but someday, later in life, I would love to explore these places for obvious reasons (they're amazing) and the experience of travel and seeing a different culture, learning a new language, trying new things is something that many say can truly change your life for the better. In the best case scenario, I would visit these places, and then some but if I had to choose my top twenty places to visit, here is what I would choose and why.

10 Thoughts Bay Area People Have When They Move To LA

I knew the transition to SoCal would be different, but I was shocked by how much LA is like a real life movie. The glamour is infinite and people dress to the 9s just to go to Chick Fil A. The popcorn is too good because something fishy is going on. I've lived in California pretty much my entire life and I can tell you this: NorCal and SoCal might as well be two different states.

Each part has its pros and cons and there's no denying how amazing Los Angeles can be but, I was in for an awakening when I moved down south for college. Don't get me wrong, I've met some chill people while living here...notice I say SOME. Needless to say, college is great because diversity is thriving.

San Francisco In A Day, For Foodies And Tourists Alike

Let's be real, San Francisco in a day is nearly impossible! I attempted to tackle the beast, found some amazing places, gained some knowledge of San Francisco history, and savored some fantastic eats along the way. Here is my experience spending one day in San Francisco (and yes, I do plan on coming back).

We got up at 3:30 a.m., packed the car by 4 a.m. and set off from Santa Rosa to our most jam-packed day of the entire road-trip: San Francisco, California. With Google Maps by our side and Spotify playlists queued up, we were set to arrive in about an hour. Little did we know, we would arrive at the perfect time.

My Family Made My California Trip Unforgettable And I Thank Them For That

Sara Durphy

Here is the video :)

Our first day of the trip we arrived at SFO at around 11 am and got our rental car. We rented from Sixt Car Rentals and got a Kia Sorento. After that, we drove to our hotel which was the Courtyard Fishermans Wharf Marriott Fishermans Wharf Marriott. After checking in we went to the food Store to pick up water and snacks. For lunch, we got In N Out burger and Krispy Kreme for lunch. After Lunch we walked around the fisherman's wharf area and visited all of the stores and piers in the area. We saw plenty of seals and even saw a fishing boat feeding a seal. From the wharf, you can see both the golden gate bridge and the bay bridge. As well as Alcatraz the prison in the middle of the bay. For Dinner that night we got Cioppinos which was a very tasty restaurant. I got salmon. After we got crepes from a cute little crepe shop. In total, we walked 16,187 steps on day 1.
