California LOVE

My boyfriend and I had planned to go to New York and Miami but due to Hurricane Irma, British Airways gave us free flights to California!, Now guys – when I found out I was going to LA, I nearly fainted! I watch Keeping up with the Kardashians and the other many shows filmed in LA and have been dreaming of visiting. Never did I think the opportunity would arise so soon. So I didn’t have as much time to do my research but hey, I didn’t need to. I always had an LA wish list on my phone. 

Unlike NY where you can catch tube (subway), in LA public transport is quite difficult. I would highly recommend hiring a car, which is what we did. It saved us so much time and hassle and we were able to see a lot more – in our own time.

So we stayed in Long Beach but travelled to LA everyday. Other places we visited were Santa Monica, Burbank and Hollywood. The whole trip to America was about 10 days so we didn’t have time to do everything. We got to do majority of the tourist things. I’m glad I got a taster of NY and LA because I know I have to go back and do a lot more.

But in all seriousness – Los Angeles was nothing like I had imaged .. it was MORE! Stunning city and I can’t do the description much justice. I felt like I was in a movie the whole time. I posted load of videos on my Instagram stories (follow me @chanelle_92) for my next getaway.

Any let me leave the pics to do all the talking. As mentioned in the NY post if you have any questions let me know J

Concrete Jungle | New York

I really do not even know where to start!... Anyone that knows me will know it has been a dream of mine to go the US let alone NY. Since I knew I’d only be there for 5 days, I made sure I scheduled each day and visited most of the places on my list. When I go on holiday you guys will already know this – I do thorough research into the city. Looking at the best restaurants, bars, clubs, shopping malls etc. And the most instagrammable chill spots of course! There are loads of websites on what to do in New York and I’m sure majority of you will have been lucky enough to visit, so I'll not bore you with all of that but take a look at my pictures blow. 

If you have any questions I’d be more than happy to give you some of my recommendations. FYI, on this holiday I was like a baby in a sweet store, in absolute awe of everything, even the corner shops! I can confidently say I will be heading back. If I could, I’d visit once a year. I felt so at ease and comfortable. It's on my list of ‘happy places’.
