Los Angeles & Vibrant Vegas
I had always been intrigued by the glamour of Los Angeles and the bright lights of Las Vegas. I am pairing these together as they offer a fantastic two-centre option for those looking to combine both in the same trip. First, let's jet off to the city of angels!

I absolutely love the buzz of city life. Being born and raised in south London, I learned to not only live and work amongst the hustle and bustle, but I also learned to enjoy it. For me, there is nothing like the craziness of people darting here and there and car horns beeping from every direction. I love cities at night when the sun goes down and the lights come on.
