My trips

Every time I visit Hollywood, there's a cherished ritual I never skip: a sunrise hike at Runyon Canyon Park. Nestled right in the heart of LA, this spot offers an escape to nature just steps from the urban sprawl. My journey begins in the dim pre-dawn light, ascending the well-trodden paths towards the summit. The air is cool and fresh, a welcome change from the city's usual bustle.

As I reach the top, the world opens up. On clear days, the view is simply breathtaking, with the sprawling city of Los Angeles stretching out below in all directions. The skyline basks in the early morning hues, and if the skies are generous, the distant shimmer of the ocean becomes visible. Watching the sunrise from here is a profound moment; it’s a spectacle of light and color that promises a new day of possibilities. It’s this magical experience, the blend of nature’s tranquility and the city’s vibrant energy, that draws me back to Runyon Canyon every time I’m in Hollywood.

Experience music under the stars at the iconic Hollywood Bowl, nestled in the Hollywood Hills. This legendary amphitheater has hosted world-class performances since 1922, from classical concerts to rock legends. With its stunning acoustics and scenic backdrop, every seat offers a memorable view. Pack a picnic or enjoy the on-site dining options, and immerse yourself in an evening of enchanting melodies. Whether you're a music enthusiast or just looking for a unique outing, the Hollywood Bowl promises an unforgettable night in the heart of Los Angeles.

We visited the Hollywood Bowl to see the Disney 80 & 90 show. It was an outstanding experience and a beautiful evening with the Hollywood sign in front of us and a full moon shining down on Hollywood.
