What's MONTECITO, California Really Like??

It's the home of the ultra-wealthy, ex-royals, & those who have made it big. What's so good about MONTECITO, California? I took a day trip to find out.

I live in Santa Barbara, and work in Montecito - I am truly blessed, it’s pretty magical.

I used to work for an elderly lady there years ago. I asked what her husband did to become so wealthy? (She was really open and loved to talk) He had invented the egg carton! Then I knew it only takes one thing, one invention in one lifetime! Lol, still working on that...

I visited Montecito this winter and was surprised to see how small the community is. Great video, Michael!

I was just out in SoCal a few days ago. I was up in Malibu. I thought about trying to reach out to you. You seem like a cool guy to hang out with. Anyhow, keep doing what your doing, I enjoy watching your adventures!

One of my biggest dream is to visit the U.S.A., and I realy want to spend some time in California. Thank you to show me a little part of it. Best wishes from Hungary. Take care :)

You missed the most CHARMING part of Montecito! You should have taken San Ysidro road up to east Valley road, and had breakfast in Montecito Village, shopped at Pierre LaFond, walked around the area (cute shops, grocery, boutiques). Coast Village Road is great, but it’s NOT as exclusive. Also, next time you MUST visit the Rosewood Miramar Beach hotel, and get drinks looking out at the ocean. ……VERY luxe!! 😎🥂

Great video, I agree it makes you feel underdressed wearing your best!

[TeisteBrito-nw]

Where are you, Michael ? We are missing your videos!
Hope you're well in every regard, my friend.❤❤❤

Next time go to Pierre La Fond Market, grab a coffee drink there… I recommend the Soy Coconut Espresso Latte. Get a breakfast sandwich on a croissant add avocado. Yum!
Another trip, come to Westlake Village where I live! Have dinner on the beautiful lake at The Landing. So peaceful and beautiful.

I lived in Carpinteria right by Montecito and it truly does feel like a little bubble of heaven. Stunning, but a lot of people are not very in touch with reality. 😅

[jesseduckface]

Hey Michael, we miss you! Come back please 😢

Funny, I grew up in neighboring Summerland. Went to Mt Carmel for school. It cracks me up to hear people gushing about it. I went to school with people who were related to big Hollywood people. Their moms drove unassuming station wagons. Not like the flashy posers of today.

I really like your videos ... they were a big motivator for me to move out here. And I am SO happy to be here! (LA, not Montecito :) )
