Your Amazing California Travel Advisor

Hollywood Sign Hollywood, California

Hi! My name is Adam Wyler. I am your deluxe California travel advisor. I have had the great fortune of spending a lot of time visiting California. My father lived in the Los Angeles area and my brother still lives in there too. I spent time as a teenager with my father all over Southern California. We even went down into Baja California once, but I will save that part of the trip for my presentation on Mexico. We went to Disneyland, Universal Studios, San Juan Capistrano, and San Diego. As a Disney World employee, I twice visited Disneyland and Universal City Walk staying 3 nights at a Disney-owned hotel. California is the most populated state in America. The capital of California is Sacramento and is in the Northern area of California. There are at least 11 cities in the top 50 in the US for population. 6 are in the top 40. The top 3 most populated California cities are Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Jose. California is a true vacation paradise, with something for every kind of traveler. You want beaches? You have hundreds of miles of amazing beaches with some of the best surfing in the world. You want wine tours and tastings? San Jose is located at the Southern end of the San Francisco bay area and just minutes away from some of the most diverse nature spots in America. San Jose is also the largest city in Silicon Valley, considered the 'home' of the internet craze back in the 90's. Some of the largest media companies still are based in this area. Los Angeles is the 2nd most populated US city with 3.9 million people. 50 million tourists visit LA annually. Los Angeles is truly a city for everyone. There are the beaches of Long Beach, San Pedro, Venice Beach, Malibu,Manhattan Beach, and Hermosa Beach. At any of those beaches you can skateboard or rollerskate along endless prominades. For entertainment, you have The Hollywood Bowl, Griffith Planetarium, The LaBrea Tar pits, and visiting the 'Hollywood Sign.' LA is within an hour of major tv, movie, and recording studio. Most days, you can head to Studio City or Burbank and get free tickets to see most of the popular nationally syndicated talk shows. I specialize in crafting customized itineraries that blend culture, entertainment, food, and coastal beauty --from the art scene in LA, to classic experiences in Malibu and Beverly Hills. Make sure you call ahead to learn what their taping session times are. San Diego is the last major California city for those heading down into Mexico. Make sure you take a day at the San Diego Zoo! Located in Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo has over 12,00 rare animals, strong conservation efforts, and lush  botanical gardens. They were the pioneers of cageless, naturalistic habitats. San Diego is the premier hub for the US Pacific Naval Fleet. Naval warships are docked in San Diego along with a major SEALs training center. California wine country, primarily in the North Coast--Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino...and the Central Coast--Paso Robles, Santa Barbara, and SLO Coast is world renowned for both quality and quantity. Napa Valley is the most famous of those regions with luxurious, bold Cabernet Sauvignons, Michelin dining, and picturesque scenery. Often, it comes with an elevated vibe. For snow skiers, you can go to Lake Tahoe for vast terrain, Mammoth/June Mountain for high elevation skiing, and Southern California for accessibility. For cuisine, ambiance, and aesthetics, San Francisco is for you. With their own Fisherman's Wharf alongside the Golden Gate Bridge, it really doesn't get much better than that! If you want ocean view combined with exciting views of the Pacific Coast Ranges, Amtrak's Coast Starlight is for you! This incredible 12 hour journey glides along the edge of these scenic views of the Pacific Ocean combined with spectacular images of the most beautiful mountains in America! If it's boardwalks that interest you, Santa Monica is world famous. Many American tv shows have been filmed at this picturesque spot. Anaheim not only has a professional baseball and ice hockey team, they are also the home of 'The Happiest Place On Earth'....Disneyland. The entire Disneyland resort complex is 500 acres. It comprises 2 theme parks, 3 Disney-owned hotels, and the Downtown Disney District. Make sure to ask me about Resort & ticket packages. I hope you reach out to me about your next California adventure!
