My favorite traveling experience is I went to West America, Cal, LA, Las Vegas and some valley… with my bf. Since my bf was studying in America at that time. I think in LA, the tempo was slow. My fav city is LA because we went to the Santa Monica beach, and we saw the sunset. Most of the time we were moving to those valleys, and the antelope valley, a little bit far from Vegas. It was taking us about several hours in bus.
