wandering around a city you don’t know, lying to people, eating nutella from the jar under the cover of darkness - what’s not to love?

new york (greatest place on earth, still feels like home even though i haven’t lived there in almost 2 years. has everything. best part is brooklyn)
london (where i live now, unique in that it’s got most everything new york does but bc it’s way bigger there’s so many peaceful pockets. weather sucks ass though, transit is really expensive, and the size works against it for walkability at times. best part is southeast)
los angeles (driving is fun, weather is perfect, so many good places to eat, nice to be in space. traffic and size do get to be a pain in the ass though. best part is east/northeast)
berlin (the new york of europe with worse weather and probably even nicer people. plus much cheaper. i like east but need to spend more time in diff areas)
oakland (i grew up in berkeley. most underrated city there is. so beautiful, always has cool people doing cool shit. you prob need a car though and it’s highly dependent on who you know. best area is probably somewhere near the lake but not on the downtown side)
paris (used to live there. overrated for sure, whole city is beige + everyone stinks + a lot of mean people all up in each others business + super slow unaware walkers, but on holiday it’s easier to just enjoy the beauty and there’s so many good restaurants. great biking city too. feels the least like a big city of the tier 1 spots. best part is where 11e and 20e meet near belleville)
prague (so beautiful, so cheap, people are so nice, great food, literally the only thing is weather and language barrier at times)

Paris. You need to know a person or two there and it's a high learning curve but it's really lovely and fairly cheap for how big a city it is
Prague. So underrated. I don't remember much because I was quite drunk when I was there but it was really beautiful and the people were really nice
Kauai. Not supposed to go there I hear but I went in 2014 and I think about it all the time it's incredible. So beautiful and so remote at same time
London. Also need to know people here. But it's such a nice place in the summer. Really beautiful parks and a lot of peace in such a big city
Los Angeles. Also need to know people. And need car. But great food great weather quite peaceful for a big city
Bay Area. Need a car. But some of the most beautiful beaches and outdoor spaces in the world around the bay for real
Yosemite. I'm not a big outdoors guy I only go for maybe 2 days when I do but it's so beautiful out there
Berlin. Super free place, everyone kinda just doing their thing and not giving much of a fuck about what anyone else thinks which I loved. Cheap for a big city. If you wanna drink great beer and be on bullshit with some friends going out and stuff it doesn't get any better

so much to talk about, the sunglasses, the scarf, the fresh baguette and coffee, the always lovely cafe setting. I think this is the most swag ever captured on camera I aspire to be at this level
