When camp finished for the summer myself and some friends decided to have a week in LA to really get to see everything touristy. We stayed in Santa Monica which is a really nice hub to travel to and from and also has so many bars and restaurants and the pier to go to on an evening.

In that week we had though we literally did everything we possibly could!

Larking around Griffith

On our first weekend down the mountain and actually in LA itself we were so relieved that we could relax that we didn't actually do too much. After we visited Grand Central Market in Downtown LA we then headed over to Griffith Park where we road the carousal, hiked around the abandoned zoo and then went to the observatory for sunset.

I always love finding food markets and places off the beaten track to eat. So when Grand Central Market popped up in one of Ben Brown's vlogs and I saw how amazing it looked I had to go.

A Weekend in Santa Monica

On our first weekend off from Camp training, the rest of the Brits and myself headed down the mountain to stay in Santa Monica for the fourth of July weekend. It was only for a few nights but I tried to do as much as possible in such a short space of time!

Why I Hate The Middle Seat.

I'm sure so many people share my aversion to the middle seat but there's just something about it that really gets me.

Recently, all of my flights have been taken alone as I was backpacking solo around the southern hemisphere and now on my way to California. And out of the 15 flights I've been on this year I could say that on 3 of them tops I had a window seat.
