As you know from reading my blog, I’ve been shooting for a travel app called, The Local Way. Over the past two weeks, my co-host, Jax Austin, and I have been showing the cameras around our Los Angeles.…
Los Angeles
When I was going to the University of Southern California, I lived in downtown Los Angeles. At the time, the area was just starting to undergo a revival. There were a few new restaurants and bars popping up. Old warehouses and office buildings were beginning to be converted into lofts. I haven™t spent much time downtown since my college years, so when I hung out there over the last couple weeks, it was really fun to see how far it has come. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you are in LA “ especially the Art District. Despite all the new additions, I couldn™t help but to revisit one of my favorite places that hasn™t changed much for…

I’m back in my hometown of Los Angeles this week. I’m here to shoot some fun travel videos for a company that I will be telling you all about very soon! But for now, I have to let you know about a place in LA that I love to visit. Los Angeles is the land of hidden gems where so many great experiences are cached within its intimidating urban sprawl. As a visitor, exploring the city can be harder in LA than in other cities. And it is best to plan out your days around specific activities in localized neighborhoods. Malibu is a wonderful part of LA to choose to spend the day. While you are there you may want…
Salsa dancing is a fun and social dance that is popular around the world. These days you can find a salsa club in major cities in every corner of the globe from Jerusalem to Rome, Tokyo, to Cape Town. Wherever it goes, this dance brings with it an ethos that leaves prejudice and cultural differences at the door. Salsa is an unifier. Well before I began Travel with Kate, I learned about salsa while living in Paris for a semester abroad. Soon after, I moved home to Los Angeles where I took up salsa dancing as a serious hobby. And in doing so, I was surprised and delighted to find such a flourishing scene. I sold a cut of this…
