I Heart LA

Settling back into the LA lifestyle has been interesting after traveling for 8 months. But if I'm going to be in the States, there's no better place than Hollywood! Despite trying to "lay low" in January, I've already been to some cool events, like First Fridays in Venice Beach where all the food trucks gather near Abbott-Kinney. I've seen rising local bands play like my new favorite Caught a Ghost. I went to Anaheim to see some of the coolest craft exhibits I've ever seen, like a massive tree made out of paper.

I've hiked to the Hollywood Reservoir and seen some great Americana art at LACMA. But more than the cool events, what I love about LA is the non-stop daily activities that we all take for granted. For instance, I love just going to Starbucks for the day's celebrity siting while plugging in my laptop for a long, caffeinated work session. In France, they aren't hip to the computer culture so there are never any outlets for your laptop. No celebrities either...

Now that I am officially settled, stay tuned for more blogs on all the fun kitsch things that LA is sure to offer in the coming months~
