  • Santa Barbara is a city on the central California coast, with the Santa Ynez Mountains as a dramatic backdrop. Downtown, Mediterranean-style white stucco buildings with red-tile roofs reflect the city’s Spanish colonial heritage. Join me on a tour of the town and the things I love the most.

      Your town? It’s a public property and not by specific individual. In fact, it’s a tourist spot. If they’re v-blogging your backyard then, that really looks weird. And if it happens, call the authority.

If you want to ask me questions about train travel, feel free.

    ive lived in santa barbara for over 30 years, i just recently moved out, yes its a nice town but....their is a problem with homeless people, the rent is so high you need to have 2 jobs or more with no time to do any of the stuff you have to do in this video without having the thought in your mind of i should be working to pay rent. its great for a visit but for one room is 1800 rent or 800 dollars a bed in a room with 3 other people in a house with 3 bedrooms all with 4 people paying 800 per bed. dont be fooled.

      From SB, take highway 154 to go to the other side of Santa Ynez mountains, turn right at Paradise Rd, keep going straight on Paradise Rd (around 9 miles) to go to the end of the road. There will be a big parking lot and cars can't go any more. Follow the trail instructions to walk to the red rock (1/2 mile). You can jump into the water in summer. It's warm but unluckily there will be just a little water in summer after a long dry season. This link will bring you directly to the Santa Ynez river at Red Rock: czcams.com/video/tG2eSntWZrY/video.html
