Porady dla podróżnych
Poruszanie się po okolicy
When parking your vehicle, DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING IN SIGHT!
When traveling by private car and you park, do not leave anything of value in sight. It is too easy for someone to smash your window and grab your things, it takes seconds. Take valuable things with you or leave them at home.

DRESS IN LAYERS
California weather is different in the valley and on the coast.
When traveling to the coast, Monterey, San Francisco or Santa Cruz bring layers like a tank top and a sweatshirt, shorts and long pants and a hair tie for the wind.
