California Road Trip: 17 Mile Drive/Carmel-by-the-Sea/Big Sur | Itinerary MAP | CA Highway 1 

Thank You ☺️ Mine too!

Hey Priya! So happy you loved the video! 😊 Doing the Big Sur by driving a Tesla sounds amazing. The reception can be pretty spotty there, so definitely download maps ahead of time. We did, and it really helped! Also, check if the road is open because there’ve been some rockslides. FYI, a few months ago, we went with my parents there and couldn’t make it all the way to LA. Have an awesome trip and enjoy those views! And make sure to check the map I shared in the video description! 🚗🌊

@@her_silence ahah yes watching your video got me even more excited for my upcoming trip! Thank you so much for your response, it was super helpful😇 oh no I’m sorry that happened, fingers crossed this isn’t a usual occurrence because we would need to get back to LA as well 😭🙏🏽

🥰🥰🥰

Thank you for your kind words, I'll try my best! :)

Hi! We spent one day exploring 17 Miles Dr, Carmel and Big Sur. We left the hotel around 8 a.m. and drove to the 17 Miles Drive. We haven't had any problems finding parking spots, except at the Bixby Bridge, which is notoriously very crowded. The best place to see sea lions is in Monterey. I have a video about this city that you can watch to see how many there are ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k3fildAAeQk.html Note: Not sure how busy this destination is during the holidays, but I believe it’s quite dangerous to drive there at this time due to the storm's consequences.

Thank you very much! I used a GoPro Hero10 and an iPhone 11 Pro to record this video.

@@her_silence thanks for the reply, I have the gopro10 but I keep getting the wormy effect on trees. Yours don't seem to have that.

@@dcchong8102 It seems that we have a different color tree in California, haha. Maybe you could test by changing the White Balance settings and see what happens. But, I leave the White Balance setting on Auto because it works so well for me.

Hi Catherine! We stayed at Super 8 by Wyndham Fisherman's Wharf Aquarium.

Hello, I was walking at Point Lobos Natural Reserve at 12:38, and this is the exact location on Google Maps :) www.google.com/maps/place/36%C2%B031'19.2%22N+121%C2%B057'14.0%22W/@36.522,-121.9560887,17z

Please see the map in the video description. I listed all of the houses we saw in Carmel by the Sea, as well as the best free parking spot closest to them😉
