π Los Angeles | Letβs Spend Christmas in LA! π β¨
Last Christmas, I returned to Los Angeles β just the name alone feels magical β¨ No strict plans, just retracing the paths I once walked when I called this city home. ποΈ Venice Beach I used to live near Santa Monica β the neighborhood feels quieter now. But Venice Beach remains as lovely as ever: Free-spirited surfers π, charming boutiques, and dreamy sunsets π You can spend an afternoon here, or stay longer and live like a true local. ποΈ Downtown LA Donβt be intimidated by βDTLAβ β it has its own charm! The Disney Concert Hall wrapped up like a Christmas gift π Strolled through USC Village β brought back so many campus memories π Then explored Silver Lake β itβs giving NYC Soho vibes! Grabbed a trendy Erewhon smoothie after browsing cool boutiques π₯€ β°οΈ Hollywood Hiking Enjoyed a joyful Christmas Eve dinner β stayed sober this time π Met old friends β everyoneβs starting new chapters in life Woke up early next day for a hike in the Hollywood Hills π§ I always come here like a pilgrimage β feeling closer to the Hollywood dream This time, I chose a quieter route through the city. π Playa Del Rey On my way to LAX, memories came flooding back On a whim, I changed my route and stopped at Playa Del Rey Ran into the sand and hugged the ocean one more time π Embracing my favorite city in the whole world, one last time. #AlreadyWaitingForChristmas #ChristmasVibes #LAChristmas #CityOfAngels #HolidayTravel β¨π
