Rock Revolver: Travel

If you've been following my blog or you follow me on Instagram you're probably aware I recently visited a friend in California. Having already posted a few snapshots from my trip to LA, it's now time to share some highlights of my time in San Francisco.

Being in the Bay Area, the weather in SF can change very quickly, so layering is key when out and about in the The City by the Bay. That's a lesson I certainly learnt on my trip, which resulted in buying a denim jacket as I didn't take a light enough one with me (you can never have too many denim jackets though).

There's also a TON of hills in the area and whilst SF is super walkable, parts of the city can get very steep very quickly, so decent walking shoes are a must. It was fun to hop on a cable car every now and then though.

I hope you enjoy flicking through my favourite pictures from San Francisco. It's a truly unique city that has to be experienced in person to see just how incredible it is.

Back in January I visited one of my friends who is currently living in California (she's so lucky). Part of the trip included a visit to Los Angeles, a place I've dreamt of visiting since I was small and the City of Angels certainly didn't disappoint.

I remember wandering around Hollywood and saying to my boyfriend: "I feel like I'm in the centre of the universe" but maybe that's because I watch too many TV shows and films set in LA. When you've grown up seeing a city on screen a lot and you finally get to visit, it can feel slightly surreal and being in LA presented me with so many 'pinch me' moments.

The weather hit the eighties, which isn't anything out of the ordinary for Southern California but it made a lovely change from the dull English weather we'd been experiencing.

Below are a few of my favourite pictures from LA. It was the most incredible trip and I can't wait to visit again someday (hopefully soon).
