The American Dream — Road Trip from LA to SF | The Travel Intern

The GREAT WEST COAST Adventure with four friends — Are you ready? We started in Los Angeles, headed up the Pacific Coast Highway 1 through the most beautiful Big Sur, spent a couple days in Yosemite and ended it all off with San Francisco! You can check this itinerary out, it s also an alternative to start the journey from SF to LA: https://thetravelintern.com/san-francisco-to-los-angeles-road-trip-itinerary/ LOS ANGELES 00:32 - Go LA Card We really can t emphasise this product enough - you get access to 35 attractions with just one price. Think Six Flags Magic Mountain, Warner Bros. Studio Tour, etc. It s a superb deal. 00:37 - Warner Bros. Studio Tour We got to tour around the famous Hollywood filming locations and the campus was HUGE! 00:53 - Perry s Bicycle Rental What better way to soak in the beach ~vibes~ by getting a bike and cycling down Santa Monica beach? 01:06 - Pacific Park End your bike adventure at Pacific Park after catching the sunset at Santa Monica Pier. The rides are actually more thrilling than they appear to be. 01:09 - San Pedro Fish Market If you re ever in the southern part of LA, be sure to give San Pedro Fish Market a visit and indulge in their SHRIMP TRAY!!! 01:20 - Griffith Observatory Get a bird s-eye view of the city from this observatory. You ll also get to see the Hollywood sign from here. 01:26 - Universal Studios Hollywood, Six Flags Magic Mountain Go on a theme park frenzy!! Thrill-seekers, you re definitely in for a treat~ 01:43 - OUE Skyspace LA This city is FULL of sunset lookout points. The OUE Skyspace LA is the highest open-air observation deck in California! 01:54 - Disneyland The happiest place on Earth — what else is there to say? :-) ROAD TRIP UP PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY 1 02:23 - Big Sur LOVE LOVE LOVE. Super love. Winding roads along the beautiful coastal stretch, with landmarks that took our breath away~ 02:31 - McWay Falls 02:35 - Bixby Creek Bridge YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK 02:43 - Yosemite National Park Snow all around, it was truly like a winter wonderland. 02:53 - Yosemite Falls Both the Upper Falls and Lower Falls are magnificent sights to behold. 02:57 - Half Dome On clear days, the reflection of the Half Dome on the water surface makes the entire scene look like it came straight out of a postcard. 02:58 - Bridalveil Fall During winter, the short walk up to the falls can be quite tricky and slippery, so be prepared for some leg work! 03:01 - Swinging Bridge I know what you re thinking — it doesn t look like it s swinging. But ya know, it still works. It s an absolute beaut. 03:03 - El Capitan The red hue cast by the sunset upon the face of El Capitan made all of us speechless. It only lasted a couple minutes before it faded off, but that moment was priceless. SAN FRANCISCO 03:19 - Go SF Card Just like the Go LA Card, this card is super handy too! Trust us — it s a good deal. 03:24 - Golden Gate Bridge (Battery Spencer) For those who wanna get that picture with the Golden Gate Bridge, this is one of the better lookouts we feel. It does get windy though, so be layered up! 03:31 - Mr. Holmes Bakehouse Yes, this is the shop where we "GOT BAKED" in. Haha. Super Instagram-famous, and with good reason too! Their cruffins are of a different flavour everyday, so be surprised! 03:36 - Fisherman s Wharf If you re in SF, you have to spend an afternoon walking and exploring the entire stretch of the Fisherman s Wharf. You get to see and do so many things like: 03:40 - Ripley s Believe It or Not 03:45 - The San Francisco Dungeon (WE LOVED THIS, REALLY. It was a theatre-based show, where you get to move from station to station, something like a theme park, but with a haunting history of the past~) 03:49 - Pier 39 (Get the Speculoos Latte from the Biscoff Coffee Corner) 03:56 - Alcatraz Island Tour One of the must-dos!! We easily spent 3 hours in there, or more. The audio tour is probs the best out there. 04:14 - The Castro The historic center of the LGBT community of SF, we really loved exploring the area! 04:23 - MISSION STREET MEXICAN FOOD FEAST!!!! Mission Street is the Mexican food HAVEN! We highly recommend saving your tummies for at least 4 to 5 stores. We re going to introduce you to one of our FAVE places: 04:27 - Taqueria El Farolita Anything off the menu is great. Promise. Would you go on such an adventure with your friends? :-) ---------------------------------------------- Edited by: Sherry Wong - http://instagram.com/sherrified Follow our travel guides around the world on: ► https://thetravelintern.com/ Follow us on our travel adventures on social media: ► @TheTravelIntern http://facebook.com/thetravelintern http://instagram.com/thetravelintern Learn about The Travel Intern Programme: ► https://thetravelintern.com/about-tra...
