In my recent journey to Los Angeles, I delved beyond the glitz and glamour that this iconic city is renowned for. While LA boasts Hollywood's dazzling entertainment, luxurious Beverly Hills, and a thriving industry, it also harbors a stark and sobering reality - poverty.
I ventured into the heart of this contradiction, the notorious Skid Row, where the largest homeless population in the United States resides. Skid Row is a place where crime thrives, and it's often labeled as one of the country's most dangerous districts.
Going solo, I engaged in candid conversations with the people who call Skid Row home. I wanted to understand the unfiltered truth about life in this area. Are the news reports accurate, depicting only a place of despair? Or do the individuals here have their own perspectives on their circumstances and lives?
Join me in this eye-opening travel documentary as I shine a light on the multifaceted nature of Los Angeles. Explore the stark contrast between its glamorous facade and the harsh reality faced by those living in poverty on Skid Row.

WHO AM I? My name is Shota and I'm a traveler and van conversion enthusiast. When I was 19, I left Japan and spent nine years exploring different countries and immersing myself in diverse cultures. In the past three years, I've been sharing my adventures in Japan through my YouTube channel, showcasing the lesser-known sides of the country and vanlife travel experience. When I'm not busy converting vans and ex-Japanese police buses into campervans, I'm back on the road, traveling the world and sharing my journey with others. My ultimate goal is to inspire others to embrace the diversity and vastness of the world around them.
