So far in our gap year planning feature we’ve covered a whole heap of topics – from where to head to what to pack.
But there’s one majorly fundamental question which we’ve yet to ask. A question which can shape the entirety of your journey – who do you travel with?!
Whilst kicking about in LA I decided to get fully involved in the mass media and entertainment that attracts so many people – after looking through my options I narrowed it down to Universal Studios, Six Flags Magic Mountain and Disneyland.
Feeling relatively flush and having a good amount of time on my hand I decided to hit up all 3!
First up I decided to head to Six Flags.
LA and Hollywood is the place where people descend to follow their dreams and hunt for stardom – this lust for fame has turned the city into an eclectic mixture of culture and people.
From the wannabes that never quite made it to the global superstars.
And it’s this magnetism for recognition that makes LA such an intriguing place to visit. It’s home to many icons of the media created world we live in – both landmarks and people.
As a traveller you enter a wonderful community of people from around the world – people from all manner of backgrounds, cultures and age groups.
And with an abundance of people comes a whole new train of thought to tap into and experience. You’ll find throughout your travels that people have a huge range of opinions and knowledge – some you’ll want to hear, some you won’t, and some you don’t have a choice in!
