In July I took a week long trip to a few places in Europe with Byron, a friend from New Zealand. We started off with an early morning to catch a 7am Eurostar train direct to Lyon from St Pancras in London....

It has been eight months since I arrived in London as I write this. The time has flown but arriving feels like yesterday. For the first few weeks in London I was lucky enough to stay with the Wilkinsons...

It was time to move on from North America. After 28 states, 1 District of Columbia, 2 Canadian Provinces, 106 days, 10,000+ miles (16,000 km) I had decided to fly out from Boston mostly because it seemed...

I left Toronto with a new sense of purpose. The travel fatigue had worn off and with tickets to London booked I was now ready to make the most of the last few days in North America. I was driving to Montréal,...

I had hoped to catch up and finish the North American part of my blog over the Christmas break but ended up having no time at all! But here it is again finally. The next stop after Detroit was Mississauga,...

Before I continue on to the rest of my trip in the US, I thought it would be good to look back at the time I spent with my friends. It's been almost four months since we split up so I've had plenty of...

It was around about midday as we crossed the border in to Canada. There was really only one thing to do next; Go and see the falls! There were lots of subtle things that were different in Canada, the...

We had a slow morning of Tuesday the 4th of August at our campsite just north of Boston. There was no great rush over the next few days. We knew we had to be in Niagara (Canada) by Friday the 7th of August....

It's been a bit of a while since my last post but I've been busy trying to find a flat in London, but more on that later. We went to bed on our last night in New York City with alarms set for 5am. We...
