    4 weeks today till my next SoCal adventure, travelling over from the UK and binging your videos to get me excited. Cannot wait to be back!

    I say, the best part of the SoCal coast is from Laguna Beach to La Jolla. This is the best stretch of coast to experience the essential laid back vibes that SoCal is all about. Sadly, the big city areas have went downhill but if you stay away from them, there are still so many little places where the spirit of the California dream continues to live on! Oceanside is my favorite! I recommend checking out San Clemente and San Onofre Beach next. Incredible video!

      Re: Big cities. A variety of online vids about SF & what's occurring there (socially, economically, politically) is really disturbing. Similarly, a crash-and-steal daytime robbery occurred several wks ago not too many miles north of Dana Point at a luxury store in Newport Fashion Island. Same thing happened this past wk in Century City. Mike of YT's German in Venice has been very upfront about showing LA's dark side. I've been to Michael's hometown when the Bronx was still the Bronx, Brooklyn was still Brooklyn, Soho was still Soho (rundown or burned-out, etc) & so I don't take good trends or good things for granted.

      Absolutely agree! I did NorCal in September and SoCal in October and there's soooo much more to California than the big cities. They have surely gone downhill, especially San Francisco which is so sad because it used to be a phenomenal city, but driving down the coast which is easily the most beautiful in the country, and visiting the national parks, there's just so much to see!

    Wonderful video as always. I've only been to Dana Point a few times but it seemed to be really pretty! Also excellent narration on your videos, you have a talent for it, sounds like something you'd expect to see in TV non-narrative coverage with how professional it sounds.
    Also spot on for pointing out the dead brush: it grows so quick in rain but then it dies just as quick and all I can think of when I see it is fire hazard l-ol

    I agree with keeping the talk short if any one ask it I'm vlogging or photo taking. Trying to enjoy my destination too. I'll have to check out DP for the Preserve Walk and Whale Watching season in winter, anything to get away from the crowds. Not bad as it on the edge of OC.

    Michael, now that you've lived in LA & NYC visited SD & Chicago.
    What is more important The urbanity and vibrancy of a city or the weather like California offers?
    Would you agree to that there is something to be said for the inspiring feeling that a lively bustling urban landscape gives you, that even a great weather day in Los Angeles could compensate for?

    • @MichaelMartello
      @MichaelMartello  Рік тому

      Good question. I change my mind every day, lol. I think the novelty of the nice weather wears off for a while. California is so nice, but lately really missing the urban energy and community feel of a city like NY.
