In California you can go into the mountains into the snow and go to the beach and swim in the sun on the same day

I'm a native SoCal girl and time is an actual unit of measurement. We don't measure miles. We base it on how long it takes to get somewhere!

I am a Sacramento native. I’d say to make sure to check out Monterey Bay Area if you have kids or Napa for adults! Tahoe is a great trip for families!

I live in Fresno, California. Not a tourist city at all, but I feel glad to be in the center of California with S.F, Yosemite and Sequoia National Park, Los Angeles, and the beach in such close proximity.

I'm a Californian born and raised in the Bay Area and I wholeheartedly approve this video. Everything you said was spot on Mark. Love, love, love this state, I've traveled the world, but will always come home to beautiful Cali!

Another great video! I'm from California and loved how you captured the diversity of the state. We're definitely more than LA and SF.

I was raised in Northern California and on the Oregon coast. The most epic, most beautiful drive ever is to start at, and explore the incredible beauty of the Redwoods then drive North, following the coast all the up to the Canadian border. There are no words to describe how incredible the drive is, how charming all the seaside towns are, how stunning the coast is, how amazing the history. I highly recommend the drive, it's so worth it.

🍷Mark did a great job promoting California beer (750+ craft breweries) but didn't mention wine. There are 4300+ wineries in California producing over 80% of the country's wine. The state by itself is the 4th leading producer of wine behind France, Italy and Spain. And the wine has been world class since the '70s so international visitors should definitely give a bottle or two a try or even hit up a local winery. 🍷

Next time your in California I highly recommend you visit sequoia national park

As someone who has driven from San Francisco to outside LA before it is easily a 7 hour drive if you take a break, before traffic. That said if your willing to take the time the view along the coast is well worth it!

Good point about going to mom and pop eateries...Yes, support local small business! You ll be rewarded...also love Northern California!

I lived in San Francisco and on the peninsula. My advice to tourists is stay in San Jose or the east bay and take the CalTrans train or BART to The City (San Francisco). 'Cause you really do not want to drive in The City. And you really, really, really do not want to park in The City. The City has good public transportation. Plus The City is small enough that you can walk across it in a morning. (I have done that.)

In California, even the tar pits are interesting to see...
@feliciasampson8032 2 years ago

After decades of living in California, I'm over it. But your enthusiasm is infectious! Looking back, I have so many fond memories of living in San Diego, Hermosa Beach, Santa Barbara, Half Moon Bay, Marin, and Truckee/Tahoe. All my former homes are beyond my budget, but I got to live the dream while it was still doable. Another bad thing: besides earthquakes, year round wild fires are becoming a new normal. Last summer in Reno (aka East California...lol), we lost about a month's worth of hiking, cycling and kayaking due to unhealthy air quality.
@rev1595 5 years ago

Overlooked thing you'll love about California: the Central Coast. Santa Barbara is the big town, but you also have San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, Morro Bay. All very beautiful with no tourist overcrowding. Take advantage of the overlooked quality and have practically the whole area to yourselves. Beaches, shopping, hiking, great food, missions, great wine, everything great about CA.

I live here in OC and I always say, I could travel the world but nowhere is as fun as right outside my doorstep.
