Great trips to Santa Barbara start here.

Let’s be honest. Los Angeles has everything you need: Beaches, skyscrapers, desert hikes, a foodie scene; the list goes on. However, sometimes you just need a complete change of scenery. Lucky for us, California is filled with adventurous spots that are only a car ride away. Here is a list of the best road trips to take from Los Angeles.

Hot springs are one of my favorite things to explore anywhere I am, and California has some amazing ones. Here’s an ongoing list of all the ones I’ve explored from SoCal to NorCal, and everywhere in between. Whenever I visit a new hot spring, I’ll add it to this list. This guide is ever-growing, meaning that I’ll keep updating it with new info and new hot springs whenever I have it. Once you’ve unlocked the guide, you’ll automatically have access to all of those updates. It also comes with info on how to get to each hot spring and an interactive map to help you along the way! If you find this information helpful, any tips are appreciated for my work :)
