You’ve all heard about Los Angeles – the eternal sunshine (even in the middle of winter), the warm summer nights, the laid-back, bohemian chic version of New York’s glitz and glamour, and of course, who could forget the infamous traffic that’s even inspired references in songs and television shows? π
Aside from the great weather and horrible traffic, though, Los Angeles is also known as the stomping grounds for aspiring creatives, ranging from writers, to YouTubers and bloggers, to actors and actresses, to artists and fashion designers. The whole city is just bustling with creative energy, and I love how no matter where you turn, there is always someone who’s working on a side project that they’ll passionately talk about. It’s always so inspiring to be around so much innovation π
That’s one of the things I love the most about this city – no matter where you go, you’ll always meet someone who aspires to be greater, and it’s this ambition that drives me to keep pushing forward as well!
Though I currently don’t live in the heart of Downtown LA, I’m still a Los Angeles native, having been born and raised here, and no matter where I go later on in life, I know that I’ll always be an LA girl at heart because I’ll take my creative energy and persevering heart with me wherever I go!

This is one of the spot I wanna check in when I am in LA!
To live in sunny LA with beach and ocean in backyard is a dream of mine (ha, i wonder if there’s a reality like that)
I live in Taipei and Taipei will always be home, from all the places I’ve been to currently (and hope more in the future) I enjoy London and Manila a lot because of the vibe and nice people around π
Hope you have a great week LA girl!

Los Angeles sounds like a dream to me. I’ve never been to the US but it’s definitely a city that I’d like to visit – and by visit I mean stay a while. What you’re saying about creativity just joins the idea I have about this city and I’d love to feel that once in my life.
I’m an adopted Parisian (was born in the Eastern part of France) and Paris is also a city that challenges you. I spent an important part of my life in Southern Japan too, and it is home. The people are so nice, the food is so good, and you can totally be yourself there. Unlike Seoul where I worked for more than a year and I found it extremely stressful. Anyway, always good to see and experience new places but also to have a city that you can always go back to to find peace.
