🎝If you're going to San Francisco🎝...as Scott McKenzie sang. This song was stuck in my head when we were driving into the city of San Francisco in 2014.
As you might guess, today's post will be about San Francisco.
Some background information:
In 2014 I traveled around the world with my girlfriend.
We visited 7 countries in total: Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, Fiji, USA and Canada.
A while ago when I didn't have many followers here on steemit, I posted lots of photos of our trip.
Now it's time for the videos (the video is further down the page).
I hope you appreciate it, this is especially made for you fellow travelers here on steemit!
