A place in the United States I would really like to visit is Los Angeles, California! I would love to visit the beach all the time and they have wonderful fashion there. It is beautiful and the people they are very talented. I would visit Hollywood, movie sites, the beach and much more. I am very interested in Fashion. Los Angeles and New York City have a lot of fashion pursuits in them and i would love to visit either one. If I had the chance to go to California I would because that may be a place I would like to live when i'm older. It usually stays pretty warm there, and I would probably take a plane to get there! If my family decides not to take a trip there than when i'm 18 or older i plan to go for a little visit. I hope I won't be disappointed with my decision to want to go to Los Angeles, California so bad!
