Events happening in LA Jan 23-26
Run clubs, Cumbia, crafts, night time events and more!
Hi guys,
So, I’m currently writing to you from Lima, Peru celebrating my best friend’s birthday, and wow. It’s one of my favorite places in the world. Being able to try some of the best food in the world all while walking along the coast of South America with salsa music playing in the background? Unreal.
I’m definitely putting together a list to share here, on both IG and TikTok, so stay tuned. I also did a little solo trip moment while I was here and got a lot of questions about how to solo travel confidently in Latin America, and I actually have some tips coming!
But let’s get into what’s happening in LA.
This week’s lineup is rooted in community. With everything happening right now, these spaces feel especially important, moments to come together, support one another, and show up with intention. So let’s get into it.
