Old San Juan feels like the cultural heart of Puerto Rico. When I picture the Caribbean, I think of these streets.

This is a historic site in San Juan. It's also a great place to fly a kite (because of the trade winds).

This rain forest is a very beautiful hike. However, it has changed since the hurricane a couple years ago.

It's easy to find a place to park if you get there early in the morning, otherwise the turnouts are pretty packed. Its a really pretty waterfall that goes right to the beach

We got here early in the morning and there were only a couple other cars. Very easy to pull into any turnouts you want. When we were coming back, it was so packed, not sure how people can stop there without just getting lucky later in the day. You can get iconic views of the bridge here

Manresa is a beach break that is south of Santa Cruz. It's a fun wave when the sandbar is good, but the water is sharky so be careful!

Lovers Point is a fun novelty wave in Monterey. It breaks on a bigger NW swell and is a left!

Big Sur is arguably the most beautiful place in all of California! And Hwy is definitely the way to see it!

Palos Verde is a beautiful suburb in between LA and Long Beach. It's a great place to find a place on the cliff and watch the sun set!

Seal Beach is a cool little town on the edge of LA and Orange county. It's not the cleanest beach but has fun beginner waves on the North side of the pier.

This is an underrated part of Huntington Beach. It's less crowded than the beaches closer to the pier.

Heavy heavy wave, paddle out if you dare. It's notorious for getting people injured, so be careful.

The PCH is iconic California, no better road to drive on . . . minus all the traffic.

Fun place to paddle, while looking at all the houses you can't afford.
