Where to eat the best pizza in Los Angeles

Rock & Brews

Located on PCH, right across the EF school (which is where I used to attend my classes & study). Rock & Brews was founded with the collaboration of two KISS members. They serve american comfort food, play good music and the decor is very cool. They also offer gluten free options, which is great for me !

Their pizza is literally my favorite in L.A., you must try it if you ever visit Redondo Beach. They have other locations in California of course, but I can only talk for this joint. I had me some garlic cheese fries & a “Margheritaville” pizza with shrimps. SO YUM !

“What’s better than rock and brews ?”

Remembering last year’s trip

Went through some old pictures that I took a year ago when I was in L.A., because I’m trying to select my favorite ones so I can sell them on my official store (hosted by 500px). I can’t believe how little I spent time on editing back then… the pictures below are barely edited, almost originals. Now editing has become something I absolutely can’t not do anymore.

The “Nobody walks in Los Angeles” Myth

Whenever I’m in Los Angeles especially, people will ask me “how come you don’t drive ?” — true, the age you can get your driver’s license there is 16′ so I should have gotten mine long ago… true also, getting a car is super easy in a place like that, since it’s totally dominated by the car industry with like, big-ass highways cutting the city all over.

So, I definitively don’t have any excuses for not driving in L.A. I guess ?

Thing is, I’m not into driving. At all. I never actually wanted a driver’s license, I didn’t see the point to it in my life because most of the time I either take public transportation, or have someone driving me where I need to be. Never once I felt the need for having a car of my own, or a day where I said to myself “oh man, if only I could drive myself” because I’m used to the way I currently, and always have, travelled.

But, there’s like actual 3 reasons why I did not go through it;

I’m kind of a rebellious person. Seeing almost everyone driving in L.A. didn’t make me want to do the same; just because everyone does it, doesn’t mean I will, and that it’s good to follow society’s pre-constructed ideals.
It’s so not eco-friendly ! Public transportation is not as practical for sure, but even an Uber pool is better than driving your car around with all the gas that’s emitted in the atmosphere & whatever.
I’m the laziest human being on the planet, taking the time to study and then pass the test is one thing, but having to drive knowing how clumsy I am ? No thanks, I feel more secure sleeping in the backseat while someone else is in charge of that.

That’s it, now you know why I don’t care about driving on my own. & Does L.A. really need another car on the street (aka. mine, abstractly speaking) being already overcrowded with them ? Heck, no. Also, a monthly tap card compared to all the expenses around owning a car is a total joke. I just find that annoying, bills and stuff, it’s unnecessary responsibilities and I avoid that as much as possible. Having a car is a great comfort, but I’d rather live my eco-friendly lifestyle.

whoever thinks money doesn’t bring happiness, transfer it to my account

Throwback to good memories… late afternoon hangout to the beach in Los Angeles, waiting for the sun to set and falling in love once more with this beautiful city.
