Join us as we discover Claremont California! This college town is only a half hour east of downtown Los Angeles and nestled amongst a backdrop of the San Gabriel Mountains, making it the perfect weekend getaway. Claremont has a charming walkable college town with an East Coast vibe. There are tree-lined streets, natural gardens, artisan bakeries, restaurants serving cuisines from around the world, and vintage stores.

It's been named the "City of Trees and PhDs" as it is known for the Claremont seven colleges. The Claremont Colleges includes five undergraduate liberal arts colleges and two graduate schools: Pomona College, Claremont Graduate Institution, Scripps College, Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College, Pitzer College and Keck Graduate Institute.

In this vlog, we explore the college campus, the top eateries, the farmers market, art installations and museums, botanical gardens, and more.
