SNOW, SPACE AND SUBWAYS IN DC | USA ROAD TRIP 2016

Today was our first in lovely Washington DC, and I'm pleased to say we managed a lot!  We started with a bike tour that was intended as a way to see the famous cherry blossoms, but sadly they'd all gone so it was just a general tour (they normally arrive on the 4th and are … Continue reading SNOW, SPACE AND SUBWAYS IN DC | USA ROAD TRIP 2016

THAT TIME MY PICTURE WAS USED IN A TRAVEL ADVERT

Well, the title pretty much says it all with this one, but nonetheless, I shall explain; in 2013 I did the Americana Road Trip tour with Trek America. As part of that trip, we went to Monument Valley, where this photograph was taken:   Trek America asked for people to send in pictures from their … Continue reading THAT TIME MY PICTURE WAS USED IN A TRAVEL ADVERT

THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS TRAIN | ORIENT EXPRESS

I tweeted about this a couple of weeks ago, but I'm still thinking about it. The TV show, 'The World's Most Famous Train' was (in the UK) on Channel 4 at 8pm on Monday 30th November, and was a one off behind the scenes look at the historical Orient Express train that travels from London to Venice. The trailer can … Continue reading THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS TRAIN | ORIENT EXPRESS

CADILLAC RANCH | AMARILLO | MUST VISIT

In the summer of 2013, whilst road tripping America, we pulled off of Route 66 and stopped to visit the world famous 'Cadillac Ranch'. An art installation (literally) consisting of 6 Cadillacs buried into the Texan dirt.  They've moved since their initial burials, and been vandalised and spray painted over and over, and are a … Continue reading CADILLAC RANCH | AMARILLO | MUST VISIT

AMERICANA | TREK AMERICA VLOG

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFN_mxeLHX0 Here's the video that I made and forgot to post. This truly was the most amazing summer I've ever had in my life. I cannot believe half the things I saw, and only about a quarter of them are in this video as sadly I could not put what I saw with my eyes … Continue reading AMERICANA | TREK AMERICA VLOG

SAYING GOODBYE | TREK AMERICA

Ok, so I planned to be way better at this blog than I actually was. I would have been better, but it's funny how difficult it can be getting hold of wifi in the middle of the desert... Also, in all honesty, I was having way too much fun. Sorry. As I said in a … Continue reading SAYING GOODBYE | TREK AMERICA

MONUMENT VALLEY – GRAND CANYON | TREK AMERICA

Coming to you from a damp washing room at a very rainy campsite. I wish I could describe in depth what we've been up to for the last couple of days. But there is SO much, I'll just go over the main stuff. On Thursday morning we awoke in Utah, and then set off throughout … Continue reading MONUMENT VALLEY – GRAND CANYON | TREK AMERICA

QUICK UPDATE | TREK AMERICA

Apologies for my terrible lack of posts. But it's fantastic, it's superb, it's amazing, and if I was blogging everything we're doing I wouldn't have time to be. To sum up. We went to New York, where we ate and drank and did what tourists do. We went to Finger Lakes where we paddled and … Continue reading QUICK UPDATE | TREK AMERICA

KENTUCKY | TREK AMERICA

We're now in Tennessee! Realised these blog posts are going to have to be fairly sporadic as I just don't have time to write them plus I have very little internet! We're currently on our way into Memphis (we aren't walking). The plan is to set up camp, then get changed, have some drinks and … Continue reading KENTUCKY | TREK AMERICA
