Airbnb Open, Los Angeles I don’t need to mention that one of my childhood dreams was to be a journalist for you guys to have figured that out on your own.

The Broad Museum, Los Angeles Wearing: Her Velvet VaseMy time in Los Angeles was very short, and very sweet. My first time in the city of angels, and for only four and a half days. And no Disneyland!
