My Los Angeles Bucket List

My Los Angeles Bucket List

The Purpose of My Bucket List

Here I’ve compiled a  list of things I would like to do in LA and a couple things I have already done. This list includes: places in LA and the surrounding area that I would like to explore, activities I would like to do, museums I would like to go to, and places I would like to hike. As I complete these activities, I’ll cross them off the list and hopefully link to a relevant blog post about it. As I discover more things in LA, I’ll add to my bucket list as well, so please feel free to come back in the future and see what’s new!
