Whether you recognize her voice from Guardians of the Galaxy, or for her roles on Superman and Happy Endings, Mikaela Hoover has been making her mark with quirky, scene-stealing parts for years. These days, she’s keeping that streak going with two major Netflix projects: She plays  country club queen Ava in Beef’s second season and voices the beloved reindeer doctor Tony Tony Chopper in the second season of the live-action hit One Piece.

Offscreen, that same eclectic energy influences the way she lives and plays in California, whether she’s seeking out a beautiful mountain hike, the perfect cheeseburger, or a unique farmers’ market bouquet. Here, she shares some of her favorite things about the Golden State.
