Great info before visiting Southern California
I really enjoyed this because the author is a native to southern California, and you can really tell. As she covers everything there is to see and do there, it's almost as if you're talking to a close friend who has been there and they're giving you all the details about what you absolutely must see and do when you go to visit. I like that she covers all types of options, from the best restaurants to try, to the beaches and nature trails you may want to explore - anything you could possibly want to explore there is discussed. She even talks about different events you may want to go there for, such as the different pride parades that happen in the different counties. If you're planning on traveling to southern California, I definitely think you should take a listen to this - I think you'll be happy you did.

Awesome way to plan a vacay
This audiobook was such a fun way to plan my trip to Southern California! It pointed me to some awesome hidden beaches in Santa Barbara and these cute little wineries in San Luis Obispo that I would never’ve stumbled on. The food tips for San Diego were spot on—so many cool spots I’d never heard of that totally beat the usual touristy places. I also loved the scenic drive suggestions, especially the stops along Highway 1 and the views at Torrey Pines. It really felt like getting advice from a local friend.
