Advice for planning a vacation

Bakersfield CA

Description

This is going to be a bit of an unusual request, but I'm hoping to get some advice on planning a vacation to California. Maybe for a week or so, depending on what recommendation I'm given to save up financially. I'm actually from the east coast (Pennsylvania)... It's been a really rough few years and I think I just really need a change to get away from what's going on in my life. There are times that I get into this fight-or-flight mode, and I'm really unhappy. I'm the type of person who would just jump into my car and drive across the country with no idea what I'm doing...which has never worked out before. And this would be a big change for me, considering how I've always stayed near my family. So in my mind... I've only got one life to live. I'm almost 28 years old and I've never truly done anything for myself. I've never even been to a real concert (unless you count Weird Al Yankovic). I've never travelled anywhere out of my comfort zone. So, I guess I'm hoping for some genuine guidance... Someone that wouldn't mind walking me through different ideas to set my goals. I'm a grown adult, but I can't depend on myself to make rational choices; I'm a free-spirit and my gypsy life hasn't given me any results. Please and thank you.
