NATURE AND NOSTALGIA OF THE WEST-COAST GEM
Creative influencer Joshua Johnston embraces the whole of Los Angeles — from the glamour of west side to the twisting canyons of the Santa Monica mountains.
Geared up in our sustainable light-down LEVI vest and travel essentials for his ritual morning hike in Malibu, we followed Joshua into the mountainous coast to unearth his perfect day in Los Angeles.
IF YOU ONLY HAD ONE DAY/24HOURS IN LOS ANGELES WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Los Angeles is so diverse in every way, I would see/do a bit of everything! I’d start with an early morning by stopping by a favorite coffee shop, grabbing a coffee and yummy pastry. Then, I’d get in some exercise by making my way to Malibu for a morning hike overlooking the coast. After the hike, I’d grab some lunch and head down to the beach to get some rays and take a dip in the water. After the beach, I’d stop through Venice for some shopping on Abbot Kinney, the farmers market and a snack, it’s a really fun area. By this time I’d head back to freshen up and throw on a cute outfit for dinner in the West Hollywood area. There’s so many amazing restaurants to choose from in this city. To close off the night, I love going to a rooftop with a sunset view of the city for a drink.
WHAT IS SOMETHING IN LOS ANGELES THAT YOU HAVEN'T DONE YET BUT HAVE ALWAYS
WANTED TO DO?
I have never hiked to the Hollywood sign! I know it’s a tourist spot but I’d love to do it soon, it’s a Hollywood must.
WHAT IS THE MOST UNDERRATED THING TO SEE OR DO IN LOS ANGELES?
I personally think Malibu is so underrated. Since it’s a little out of the way, not a lot of people go there often. It’s one of my absolute favorite spots. The beaches are beautiful, there are so many hikes/outdoor activities and the food and shopping are amazing!
