Travel (Outside of Canada)

Red Car on the Road, Los Angeles, United States

Traveling makes me so happy! I love spending time learning new things about different cultures, exploring new places, and attending historical or famous cities or countries. I recently visited Los Angeles (L.A.) and I can give you some advice about 3 things you should do.

The first thing to do would be to visit famous landmarks such as the Hollywood sign, Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, and Hollywood Boulevard. All these spots are very well-known and interesting to see in real life rather than on TV and in pictures.

The second thing is to see nature. There are many beaches including Venice Beach, Santa Monica Beach or Malibu. There are also beautiful national parks like Sequoia and Kings Canyon. These parks are home to the giant sequoia trees, including General Sherman which is the largest tree on earth by volume!

The third thing to visit is one of the many attractions. My first recommendation is the Griffith Observatory where you can explore panoramic views of the city and the Hollywood sign. Next would be, The Getty Center which offers world-class art, stunning architecture, and serene gardens. Finally Universal Studios Hollywood is one of L.A.’s most popular places - I recommended the Studio Tour & Harry Potter attraction.

Los Angeles is a great place to visit because it has something for everybody!
