Traveling into California

I'm planning to travel throughout the State of California early March, however, I'm stucked with where and who I should go with. Would anyone like to come along and enjoy an adventure of a lifetime?
Does anyone have any suggestions on where I should visit when I get there? It would be fun and exciting to meet new individuals along my travels. This trip will last at least six days with multiple events each and everyday.

Sorry but this is not a matching service. Suggest that you locate one based on your interests situation: student? coming from? group or community that you belong to?

Have you considered joining a commercial tour?

Separately, 6 days is nothing to see CA. You will need to pick which area you want to focus on. And determine if you will rent a car or try to use public transit (possible within some cities but limited for the whole state).

You need to start with a couple of guide books and determine what you want to see/do - esp at that time of year. Not sure if Yosemite is even possible then.

I am sorry but for most people, especially US, going to CA is not an adventure of a lifetime.

If you are planning the experience of a lifetime, you should have the guts to travel for six days alone to California, and to figure out what you want to do. If you are really timid and afraid of doing this and thus want someone else to plan it and go with you, I understand, but you might drop the bravado.

What do you mean choose you or logandog, clarkgriswold? Anyone is willing to come along.
In addition to other comments, it would be responsible to have company to enjoy quality time with.

With only 6 days you have time for either NorCal or SoCal, not both. In March I would pick SoCal but only if you have a rental car, without one stick to NorCal, you can use public transit in San Francisco. We are hoping for a wet winter since we have had a four year drought.
Try hostels for meeting people face to face.

Logandog and clarkgriswold are making a joke.

If you really want a travel companion you will need to either find one from home or meet someone in CA - perhaps if you stay in hostels you can meet other (I assume) young travelers.
