Los Angeles

Los Angeles, the City of Angels, is a vibrant metropolis that blends glamour, culture, and natural beauty. From the star-studded streets of Hollywood to the sun-kissed beaches of Santa Monica, LA offers a dynamic mix of entertainment, history, and scenic wonders. The city’s diverse neighborhoods, world-class dining, and endless creative energy make it an unforgettable destination for travelers seeking excitement and inspiration. Whether you’re exploring its famous landmarks, immersing yourself in its thriving arts scene, or simply enjoying the year-round sunshine, LA offers something for everyone.

 

LANDMARKS

  • The Hollywood Sign, perched high in the hills, symbolizes the magic of the film industry. Whether viewed from Griffith Park or up close via hiking trails, this legendary landmark remains an enduring icon of LA’s cinematic legacy.

  • The Griffith Observatory offers breathtaking views of the city skyline and the vast cosmos above. Visitors can explore fascinating exhibits, gaze through powerful telescopes, or simply take in the stunning panorama of Los Angeles from its scenic perch.

  • Strolling along the Santa Monica Pier captures the essence of LA’s coastal charm. With its lively boardwalk, classic amusement park, and sweeping ocean views, it’s the perfect place to soak up the city’s laid-back beach culture.

CRAFT COFFEE

  • Tucked quietly into the edges of Los Feliz and the Arts District, Maru Coffee is a study in minimalism, intention, and quiet care. The name Maru, meaning "circle" in Korean, reflects the shop’s philosophy—everything in harmony, from the way coffee is brewed to the calm it invites.

    The space itself is simple: pale woods, soft light, and a clean aesthetic that makes room for thought. It’s not flashy, but that’s the point. Whether you’re watching the baristas craft pour-overs with quiet precision or catching soft ambient light spill across the counter, everything feels slowed down—intentional.

    Their menu is short, sharp, and focused. Favorites include the Iced Americano, served strong and smooth, and the Matcha Latte, subtly sweet with earthy depth. Beans are roasted in-house, and the quality is felt in every sip—there’s clarity here, both in taste and atmosphere.

    Maru is not the place for noisy meetups or laptop marathons. It's for pausing. Observing. Breathing. A pocket of stillness in the swirl of LA.
