Hey everyone welcome to yourself helpless snack where we give you a little taste of the podcast with the many episode

Today I'm sharing all of the chaotic expensive stressful tourist traps to avoid in Los Angeles for your next trip and the awesome local

alternatives that you can do instead from yours truly who is an LA native.

I'm born and raised out here grew up in both LA County and Ventura County so I got you covered and by the way nothing I'm

listening today is a sponsor. These are just things that I enjoy. So I get this question a lot,

whether it's from our friends and family who want to visit

LA or you know you just hear people say they either had an awesome time or a terrible

time and it truly depends on where you go there's so many nooks and crannies out here.

And the people who tend to come out here

and feel very overwhelmed,

they go to like Santa Monica and Hollywood Boulevard

because that's where they've been told to go and my gosh

Hollywood Boulevard I mean the place smells of cheap souvenirs dead dreams and piss so you know not

a not a fun place it's not what they portray in the brochures and in the movies, okay? So that's why you are getting your hopes up.

This is basically an introverts guide to Los Angeles, so if you want peace and relaxation and you still want to see cool shit here are some hot tips that I think will help you

I'm going to take you through some alternatives to like the main things out here and then I'm also going to share my

favorite restaurants with you too and something really cool the last time I gave

some restaurant recommendations on here I actually ran into a self-helpless

listener at the restaurant that I recommended and it was so much fun, you know,

we gave each other a hug, we took a picture together, it was very cool and she told me she was at that

restaurant because she heard about it on the podcast.

All right, so we will start with things to do and then I'll get into all the yummy foods.
