San Francisco to L.A.

Road trip of a lifetime

PCH road trip is one of those things, that were on my bucket list for the past 5 years. Iv been hearing about PCH being the most picturesque highways on the planet and once you’ve done it, you will fall in love with California for life. Which I completely and irreversibly did!

I think that trip changed my life, like one should. To say the least, it was breathtaking, exciting, surreal...I couldn’t believe my eyes. All that beauty and scenery that I kept on seeing... I couldn’t even imagine that a highway could be THAT cinematic.

Farley’s Coffee Shop

| Community in a cup

It is the coziest little cafe located on a Potrero Hill 18th St, which serves great coffee and tea and showcases works of local artists. Farley’s has a whole stand of artsy, business, fashion & architecture magazines that you can purchase or simply get lost in.

I got stuck there a little and found two incredibly beautiful London magazines ( which were very expensive but so worth it)that aesthetically gave me so much pleasure “CEREAL” & “DRIFT” magazines.

It is one of the most authentic and stylish location I have ever been to for a coffee. I fell in Love with it from the moment I saw their signboard with a logo of a man‘ s silhouette. It just spoke to me and it looked so cute inside! It seemed like the moment you walk in, the time stops. And the smell of freshly brewed coffee wouldn’t allow you to pass by it.

PLOW

This place is right next to Farley’s and this place was a pure revelation with its incredible breakfast! It is very small and super cute, doesn’t have much of sitting, so make sure you come early or you book a table. We were kinda lucky, but we had waiting time of 45 minutes. And it was soooo worth it!!!!

It was the best French Toast I ever had! It was with Pears and whipped cream! And OH MY GOD!!!!! I am definitely coming back to try other options on the menu or to have that divine French Toast!

Golden Gate Bridge

Of course This iconic red bridge was definitely the highlight in SF. Iv seen this bridge so many times in the movies that I couldn’t resist and have some pictures taken🤗

But I gotta tell you, we chose the best spot to shoot, where the whole bridge and the city are really still in the picture. And the light... on a sunset! It was sooo soft and magical. And even though it was pretty cold, we couldn’t leave and we kept on shooting, because we got the craziest ombré light, and it kept on changing from red-to orange-to blue.

Bixby Bridge

If you ever watched Big Little Lies, then you know that Bixby bridge and Monterey are a must visit locations, especially since it’s PCH Roadtrip. The Bridge itself is also a very popular location for content creators as it is an art piece itself.

We got some beautiful shots out there too... and the funniest thing was, that Diana( my creative director) made me undress in front of everyone, so we could take these stunning pictures. So I am very great full for that awkward moment of me taking of my bra, and being completely naked in front of a bus of Chinese tourists😅 ->

Monterey Bay Aquarium

As soon as I realised that Monterey is only 2 hours away from SF and it’s on our way, I started begging Diana to stop by and go visit their aquarium! Aquariums are my happy place, especially that they have sea otters! THAT WAS IT! I couldn’t hold my excitement😅 and so we did stop by! I mean tickets were actually quite expensive $50 per person ( adults) but it is so worth it! Their “collection” of jellyfish and other beautiful creatures is amazing!

The Monterey itself is also a very beautiful, clean, quiet and simply charming place to visit and walk around! It looks very dreamy and people are super nice and friendly! If you ever get a chance to visit-DO
