Posted by 2015 was a good year for We Like L.A.
Christina and I accomplished more and explored more parts of Los Angeles than we probably ever thought we would (at least if you’d asked us at the beginning of 2014).

That said, we wanted to put together a bit of a look back at some of our favorite moments from the past 11+ months in the hopes that it’ll inspire a few of our readers to push their experiential boundaries for the year to come. L.A. is a city just begging to be explored, so we hope that in some way this list helps you answer that call.
Without further adieu, here are just 39 of our favorite memories from this year, all documented via our Instagram.
Enjoy!

Honestly, the fact that anybody actually reads our site still seems somehow miraculous, but the kind notes we get and the positive feedback really do push us to try even harder, do even more.
We’d just like to say that it’s been great our pleasure to explore Los Angeles and inform our readers of the happenings around this amazing city.
We hope to do an even better job in the year to come.
