San Francisco
Picking up from where we left off last week, we got to San Francisco veeeery late. After driving around in confusion for a bit -still quite a bit of traffic for that time of night- we finally made our way into a parking garage and got ourselves to bed. We woke up relatively early (I’m…

Death Valley and Yosemite
This unfortunately going to be another short one as we sort of ended up doing a drive through of these national parks. For Death Valley- you pretty much wanted to stay in your car anyway. Like Joshua Tree, there were multiple signs featuring heat warnings, as well as some wary employees at the entrance that…

Las Vegas
I feel like I’ve said this with nearly every leg of the road trip so far- but Las Vegas was definitely one of my most anticipated locations so far. Along with all of the fame of Las Vegas I also had a really good friend I hadn’t seen in years that had moved out there…

Sedona and Phoenix
The next leg of our trip was initially not even planned. We had booked a room in Lake Tahoe later on the trip which we ended up needing to cancel due to some major fires in the area. Instead of having some stress at the end of the trip, we decided to move everything in…

Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon was definitely a highlight of the road trip for both myself and my friend. We had both wanted to visit since childhood and it was a first for both of us as well. Another thing I was particularly excited about was the fact that we were camping. The drive from Palm Springs…

Joshua Tree and Palm Springs
This is going to be a bit of a shorter post because simply enough- this was a shorter leg of the trip. It was also more of a focus on relaxation versus adventure and sight seeing. We drove straight from Los Angeles to Joshua Tree National Park after a brief walk on Melrose looking for…

LA
Los Angeles was one of my most anticipated stops on the road trip and we woke up early in Venice Beach ready to get going. My friend actually had a virtual job interview in the morning, so I ended up wandering around waiting for her for an hour or so. I went to Muscle Beach…

The Road from San Francisco to Los Angeles
In our second long leg of the trip, we thankfully decided to take it a bit more slowly rather than trying to cram a bunch of driving in on one day. We had a very, very loose plan but basically set out relatively early to meander our way in the general direction of our next…

PCH
We started off the road trip with what you’d expect with a road trip- a ridiculous amount of driving. I flew into Eugene Oregon pretty late at night, then we stayed with one of my trip partner’s friends for the night. getting in about 1am ish Pacific time (keeping in mind I flew in from…

Road Trip: Intro
Hey guys!! Long time no see! It’s been a little while, partially due to being inundated with work/personal life and partially due to that whole pandemic thing. Unfortunately, just like everything else, travel both personal and work took a massive hit, so I quarantined with the best of them. Now that I’m fully vaccinated and…
