We recently took a trip to Santa Barbara and I wanted to share our experience as well as things to do in and around the area. We stayed at the Waterman hotel downtown, in the Funk Zone. We were there in early April during the Covid 19 Pandemic and I would say the 60-70% of the people there were wearing masks outside. Very beautiful and scenic city with a lot of things to do.

11 FUN Things to do in 1 Day/ SOLVANG, CALIFORNIA/ BUELLTON/ LOS OLIVOS/ Ostrichland/ WINE Tasting
SOLVANG, California!
And So we are very excited to share our impressions of the trip to Solvang.
We will recommend you 11 places from which you can choose the ones you like to add to your list to visit.
Let’s start our morning at Paulas Pancake house to Enjoy world famous Danish Pancakes before starting to wonder around the village.
You don’t need to go to Denmark to experience authentic Danish architecture, culture and cuisine because Solvang establish itself as a popular destination for tourists seeking bit of europe in united states.
It took us about an hour to walk around the village, enjoy authentic danish architecture, large European style windmills , tidy, flower-lined streets, and also do some souvenirs shopping in the small boutique shops.
There are five major bakeries in Solvang and Most of these bakeries are owned and operated by multiple-generations-old Danes. And even if you guys aren't hungry yet, I still highly recommend that you grab a couple of delicious pastries from these amazing bakeries.
Let's make a quick stop at the Hans-Christian Anderson Museum before going for lunch in the famous Copenhagen sausage Garden located in the heart of Solvang. Ok, All I can say here is it was incredibly delicious and this is just a must visit place.
The second part of the day is all positivity and fun! Just in 8-minute drive from Salong, you are in bird paradise.
Ostrichland is a 33-acre breeding farm that is home to more than 100 ostriches and emus.
Admission is $7 and a big bowl of ostrich food costs an extra dollar.
You can get up close and personal with these amazing birds And get filled with positive energy for the rest of the day.
And now is the time to remember that you are in the heart of Santa Barbara County wine country, and this is a place for wine tasting.
I want to point out that we used a Grape line wine tour company for this adventure and the wine tasting cost us $159 per person which included a trip to three different wineries and one hour stop at charming town los olivos to continue drinking.
Alright guys, los olivos is another must visit destination while travel to solvang or santa ynez valley.
This is a charming place to visit for a wine tasting experience, art, shopping and an unforgettable photo session.
It’s a laid-back place where locals sit on wooden porches and chat with friends and visitors; and most people wear jeans, cowboy boots and casual attire.
Just 18 minutes from downtown Solvang and you can discover all the natural wonders of Cachuma Lake Recreation Area.
There is so much to do —from hiking, boating, kayaking and fishing or you can just come to this gorgeous place for a relaxing day or a picnic on the shore.
And let's finish our day in a Picturesque and very tasty restaurant AJ Spurs located at small town Buellton just 8 minutes away from Solvang.
This restaurant is also featured in the oscar award winning movie Sideways.
Awesome, eccentric restaurant, friendly atmosphere and positive dining experience are guaranteed!
Thank you dear friends for watching, I hope you will use some of our tips if you plan a trip to Salang .
See you in the next video!

Best Things to Do In One Day in Solvang, California | Itinerary
Join us on a captivating journey through Solvang, California, as we explore the top 11 attractions for a day that make this Danish-inspired town a must-visit destination. From historic missions to wine-tasting rooms, Danish bakeries to enchanting architecture, there's something for everyone in Solvang. Discover the charm of this California gem!
**Top 13 Must Have Travel Items:**
– Travel cubes: The secret weapon to outsmarting your luggage |
– Lightweight travel luggage: Because who needs a workout at the airport when your suitcase weighs more than you do?
– Travel scarf for windy days: Wrapping you in warmth, so you can laugh in the face of the wind and still look fab!
– Light jacket: Because you don't want your jacket to weigh you down, but you do want it to shield you from surprise cold fronts and rogue gusts – the sneaky ninjas of weather!
– Hiking shoes: Because you don't want your feet to stage a rebellion in the wilderness |
– Lip balm with SPF: Giving your lips a fighting chance against the sun's relentless attempts to turn them into crispy bacon!
– Odorless sunscreen for your face: Because no one wants to smell like a piña colada while trying to avoid turning into a lobster at the beach |
– Polarized sun shades you won't care if you lose one or scratch one up: Because life's too short to mourn lost sunglasses, and accidents happen – like mistaking your shades for a snack (they do look oddly like pretzels) |
– Leak-proof reusable water bottle: Because hydration should be refreshing, not an impromptu indoor pool party for your backpack |
– 2-pack external phone chargers: Because one charger is like a single slice of pizza – never enough when you're really hungry for power |
– Plant-based bug spray: Because nothing ruins a perfect sunset on your trip faster than becoming a mosquito's all-you-can-eat buffet |
– First-Aid kit: Because accidents on your adventures should be as rare as a unicorn sighting, and we all know unicorns don't carry band-aids |
– Durable LED flashlights: Your go-to for emergencies, because when the power's out and your phone's on life support, you need a trusty sidekick that won't ask for selfies |

Watch Top 10 places to visit in California: 👉
---
The most unexpected places to visit in California:
⭐ SOLVANG is situated just a short drive from Santa Barbara. The place is known for its Danish style architecture, many wineries and European-style bakeries and shops.
⭐ JOSHUA TREES NATIONAL PARK is located on the crossroad of Mojave and Colorado desert features a surreal geologic landscape and rich cultural history.
⭐ IMPERIAL SAND DUNES or Algodones Dunes (45-mile long) were formed by the sands of an ancient lake. Dunes can reach heights of 300 feet or more, creating an illusion of an endless landscape. The dunes are a popular spot for off-road enthusiasts and over one million people visit the dunes every year.
You can simply drive through the dunes and stop at the Osborne Overlook or plan a camping expedition, either way, visiting the dunes is a one-of-a-kind experience.

🤙 ABOUT ME
As you can guess from my YouTube handle, my name is Keanu (pronounced: key-aww-new) and I have a deep passion for travel.
I’ve been an avid viewer of Travel YouTube for many years, but one day in 2023, I decided to become a travel creator myself.
My goal is to become a trusted creator in this space and I hope that comes through in my efforts to create (obsessively) detailed travel guides.
Right now, I am doing YouTube totally by myself while balancing a full time job. Even though it can be a lot at times, I am absolutely enjoying the journey so far.
Unlike many other travel creators, I only travel a few times per year (thanks limited PTO!). So when I travel, I try to make the most of it by doing “all the things.”
And “all the things” eventually become my YouTube videos.
Happy travel planning! – Keanu

Santa Ynez California Travel Guide | Must Do Travels

Santa Ynez, California is an unexpectedly laid back and inviting place to visit in California. The Santa Ynez Valley is comprised of a few very small neighboring towns that have an old school American vibe to most of. Except for Solvang, that town looks like it was plucked right off the streets of Copenhagen, making it a quirky and fun place to stay for a few days.
One minute you are driving past lakes and trees, and the next minute it's all cattle ranches and vineyards. That's how unexpected a trip here can be. Only about an hour and a half outside of Los Angeles, you wouldn't think that California could change so much so fast.
