LA IS POPULAR FOR ITS STREET ART. WHERE DO WE
FIND THE MOST INSTAGRAMMABLE SPOTS?The murals and street art in the Arts District
provide the perfect backdrop for droolworthy
Instagram pictures. It is fascinating to stroll
through the creativity that spans generations
here. I was amazed to learn that the world-
famous ‘Angel Wings’ fi rst appeared in the
Arts District. Colette Miller, an LA-based artist,
introduced the design to remind people that
humans are the angels of Earth. I loved posing
with the wings for my Instagram! Venice Beach
has an interesting concept of Art Walls—visitors
and locals are free to go there on weekends
and paint. I wish to do that someday!A LOCAL SPORT ONE
MUST TRY IN LA?
Surfing! You haven’t really
experienced Los Angeles
until you’ve tried your hand
at surfing. And there’s no
better place to be than the Surf
Rider Beach in Malibu. Thesandstone reefs here create the
perfect break to help surfers
jet down the coast as the waves
roll in and begin to curl near
the shore. The best part? You
don’t have to be an experienced
surfer to appreciate the art or
the cool vibe on this beach.FAVOURITE TRAVEL

STAYCATION IN LA?
The Dream Hollywood

Its floor-to-ceiling windows
are perfect for stargazing and
viewing the iconic Hollywood

landscaped ‘public alley’ links
up eateries and nightlife spots.
It also brings the world’s best

enjoyed an intense workout

includes Angelina Jolie, Jennifer
