I live in Germany and am writing an exam about this video tomorrow🥺
I love that you travel with your Mum, that’s cute.
Great guide video! One question: where is the location that you got oysters? Is that in Mendocino, Ft. Bragg…? Looks like Capt Zach’s but I can’t find it?
This is such a biased checklist. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of people are leaving California because of how trashy full of homeless and terrible the whole state is I think skip everything just head to the mountains and the national parks…….
Honestly you’re very biased when it comes to Southern California. If you were not raised in Northern California you wouldn’t be qualified to judge the area period. I was born in central California and you said that don’t bother with the area. I think that’s extremely RUDE… Plus you didn’t put Sacramento CA in this blog..
thank you for the beautiful suggestions 🤍
As a lifelong California, I’d never add Disneyland (or any other theme park for that matter) in a top 10. Especially considering the cost these days. Waste of money. Also the mosaic tiled staircase you showed in SF is not even close to the Fillmore District, fyi.
Love this! So much of CA is focused on the south. I’m originally from San Diego but grew up in Tuolumne county (Yosemite area) and the mountains deserve the love as well!
Fonts point I used a regular suv sevral times
I miss Cali… thanks for this.
This is sooo awesome! I started posting from Cali too, so much to see there
Who are the worse looking people in the country? 😂
❤🌞

I enjoyed except when it said Northern California, I didn’t think you talk about LA, and San Diego, and other Southern Ca places. I lived in San Diego for 4yrs. and I loved it. I moved to Northern Coastal Ca, Mendocino county, in FT. Bragg. I was so Beautiful, especially the beaches Sequoia trees, San Francisco, and The Giant Redwood Forest. Sn Francisco as only a 3 hr. I loved San Francisco, the Victorian architecture, the public transportation, the various neighborhoods (one LGBT) and restaurants. Golden Gate park is big and so much to do. I haven’t been back since 2008. I’m due for a trip. Thanks!
Thanks for all informations about california. One time, i wanna visit it. 🤩

Nice video 👍😁😁😁
Super informative best I seen so far thank you. I’m planning a family trip for Cali soon
Where is that exact location that you were star gazing at???
two thumbs up.
@bemytravelmuse, thank you for this video. My daughter and I are planning a 2 week trip to Cali in June of this year. Your video outlined almost all the places we have planned which makes me feel confident we have picked some of the best places. Our last stop is Lake Tahoe, could you recommend a good place to stay there for the best kayaking, paddle boarding and hiking?
To the person reading this: Even though I don’t know you, I wish you the best of what life has to offer ❤
I like your video. You do a good job describing all of the places, but give me some changes in your tone in your voice. Maybe a pause to look at the scenery and just play some music.
Jesus saith unto him , I am the way , the truth , and the life : no man cometh unto the Father but by me .
Sorry if I have given you trouble .
so nice and just 9 minutes! you worth more than 60k subs and 90k views. keep going!
Wow thanks for sharing 🇺🇸❤️
I only have one week in the summer. I really want to go CA, this trip has been in my bucket list since I was a kid in my country Cuba. Im not sure if one week will be enough to at least go to SF and LA
And don’t forget the amazing "Jalama Beach" at the West Cost Highway – it is lonely Spot – very remote and very beautiful. I will be in Joshua Tree NP this September and I didn’t know that the Anza Borrego SP is that beautiful and will visit this spot. thx
Probably the best California guide on YouTube that I’ve come across, so far. Thanks for making this!
If you go to sf your vehicle will get broken into. Just don’t go. Most beautiful city but the politics enable criminals. Look it up. And avoid that place. Locals even accept it, it’s weirrrrd
As a SoCal native, I think you are right on point, all of these locations are where I would recommend as well.
Disneyland is NOT worth it! Crowded and overpriced
Planing my California solo road-trip and this is extremely helpful!
I am planning a 2-weeks trip to California, and I currently live in Italy. I am trying to gather as much info as I can and this video was very helpful.
If you or your followers have any more tips for international tourists with a different cultural background like myself, I would be really glad to hear them.
This is a great short vid and just full of some priceless information.
I want to see all the National Parks in a week!
I’m so so glad I’ve come across your video as I really really want to visit California. Coming from the uk and having a max of two weeks to visit I think possibly we’d have to start south and hope to be able to come back to do north. I’ve never visited the 🇺🇸 and it’s an absolute dream. I couldn’t come to the 🇺🇸 for the first time and not pay the main mouse a visit so I think south would be first on our agenda. The stargazing looked absolutely incredible ❤
Thank you! Such a condensed and informative list without lots of raah raah and unnecessary things 🙂
Venice beach, really 🤮 avoid this place at all costs, it’s sleazy, filled with homeless,drug addicts and smells like marijuana. Santa Monica is not much different. 5 years ago I would’ve agreed with you but no longer
The thing in South Lake Tahoe I will absolutely go for (when I can) is the gondola at Heavenly Mountain, especially as a season pass holder for that ski resort.
Coming to USA for my first ever trip from Aus in August for 24 days will def do some of these beautiful destinations
Great video
You did not recommend food in the tenderloin lmao. Stop it.
