USA: Spotlight on California

What comes to your mind when you think about California? My guess is the sun, beaches, the Golden Gate Bridge, and something related to Hollywood. The Golden State is quite famous all over the world and the list of things you can do and places you should visit is nearly endless. Unfortunately, my trip to the Golden State earlier this year fell through, and due to COVID there isn’t much to do, so I came up with the idea to write a post about some interesting facts about California - and I might even make a series out of it!

San Francisco For First Time Visitors

If it's your first time in San Francisco - you're in for a treat! Although, let’s be honest, if you are going to San Francisco, you’re always in for a treat. The city might be small (just around 500k people and some famous 44 square miles), but there is just so much to do and explore. From hiking to biking to eating and drinking. San Francisco is very cultural, artsy and liberal. Wanna walk naked down the streets? San Franciscans have seen it all. Just being in this city alone is an experience itself. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when you are going for the first time.

Reasons Why Lake Tahoe Is My Favourite Lake

While growing up in Germany where access to the sea is quite limited (but yes - we do have a coast line indeed), growing up I spend a lot of time at different lakes instead. However, my favourite lake so far is Lake Tahoe! During my time in San Francisco I actually got to visit the area more than once (which is another plus for the city - Tahoe is just reeeeally close!). In this post I want to share why I love Lake Tahoe so much. Feel free to share your favourite lake in the comments!
