I loved this audiobook! As someone planning a trip to Southern California, it was exactly what I needed. The local insights and recommendations for hidden gems, scenic routes, and must-visit spots were so helpful. It’s well-organized, and the details about each county made it easy to plan my itinerary. I appreciated how it covered not just the popular attractions but also lesser-known places that added something special to my trip.
