California. One of the most gorgeous, glamorous, and populated locations in the world. It is the perfect combination of paradise and the crazy city life. Whether you want to enjoy your own company or  experience this jaw dropping location with others, the most unforgettable memories and sites will forever stick with you.

1) The Food 

From open patios and indoor delights, every meal will be perfected by the atmosphere and portrait-like view. There are thousands of restaurants and buffets in California. During the month i spent in Cali, I found that the smaller businesses of different ethnicities were outstanding compared to larger franchises. Their food, music and the atmosphere took me around the world as soon as i stepped into each restaurant. 

California's is the home of many tropical fruit from it's hot weather. There are endless fresh treats that will make you believe eating healthy is like a dessert. 
At midnight, everyone should experience the authentic music under the stars while eating fresh food from taco trucks after a long day of activities. Not to mention at least have a taste of their world-famous In-n-Out burger... in my opinion the most amazing and the freshest fast food you will ever have.

2) Shopping 

An entire day can be spent exploring the amazingly large mall. There is an endless selection of stores that you may have never seen or heard of. Most of these stores will carry the first items released from new collections because many of these businesses originated from Cali. From luxury shopping to second-hand store thrifting, you are destined to find the perfect store for you. These stores are like no other, my favourite was one of the Vans store that had it's own skate park inside, and The Tiffany's store which was nearly a mall in it's self. It carried things from the movie and jaw dropping beauties. Not to mention each place makes the perfect spot to capture the perfect Instagram picture. 

 

3) Theme Parks 

Some of the world's best theme parks are located in California. Personally, my favorite was Disney and Fix Flags for their unlimited amount of fun roller coasters and unforgettable memories. One of the best memories was looking back at the hilarious pictures once you get off the ride and the delicious sweets you can share with your families. These parks are like no other. You will be amazed by the creativity of each animation brought to life. As you sit back and enjoy the thrill, you will also experience a magical show no matter where you go.

4) Beaches 

Laguna Beach

California is full of their world class extravagant beaches. The ocean breeze, glistening water, and hot summer heat will have you running to the dancing waves. The beach is the perfect place for anyone that would like to either relax, get active, or spending time with your family. The sun and the ocean's sea salt water will have you glowing the entire trip. You must visit Huntington, Laguna, and Newport Beach. There are nearby small shops and food places that you will be able to savor by the shore. On a cooler Cali night, some people will return to beaches for a nice fire as they sit back to admire the sunset. 

5) The O.C fair 

Every year the orange county fair is hosted to all individuals that seek an amazing time. The people, live shows, music, food, and ENDLESS variety of games will never have you wanting to go home. From the gorgeous butterfly exhibit, art museum, and pig race, there is something for everyone to do. Kids and teens may come throughout the day for the trilling rides while adults will hit the bars and dancing platforms all round throughout the night. Although, in my opinion the sensational food and desserts topped this memory most of all.
