Food for thought

Yesterday was 466 days since returning to the UK, or in other words, 66 weeks and 4 days which has a nice symmetry to it. Looking back we feel very lucky, being able to afford to go travelling, particularly the […]

The Diamond Capitol of the World

Antwerp was a great city to enter Europe. Being in Belgium we were surrounded by delicious food and beer, and as it is situated in the north of the country we could practice our rusty Dutch. I mean Flemish. Actually […]

The Washington (blog) Post

Washington DC is recommended by all who have been, great for history, food and free museums. They weren’t wrong. After an overnight Greyhound from Toronto to New York, we jumped on a 5 hour bus (or motorcoach as they say […]

We The North

After visiting New York, Toronto was bliss. The food was affordable, the metro navigable and the place names familiarly British. From York University to Don Valley Trail, it was clearly Yorkshire folk who settled in the area. We arrived on […]

Windy City

We did a lot of walking on our two full days in Chicago, 10 miles the first day and 8 miles the second. It’s my favourite city in the United States (Tucson being my favourite town/small city) and at no […]

Allons boire un coup!

Lafayette is also known as the Heart of Cajun Country, due to the acadian culture, and Hub city, as all roads in south Louisiana lead to it. It was our home for a week for our first American workaway. Abigail […]

Bienvenue à New Orleans

We arrived into New Orleans late. After my first Amtrak train had dropped us off an hour early I guess things needed to be brought back to reality. My second picked us up 2 hours late from Tucson and then […]

Tootin’ Tucson

Tucson Arizona was the one place in America I wanted to see, and travelling on the Sunset Limited from L.A. to New Orleans was the one journey I wanted to take. For my birthday, around New Years, my wishes came […]

It’s Always Sunny in Los Angeles

For the first time I find myself writing a blog about a city that I am confident 90% of readers will have seen in some detail. This city has featured in popular culture so prominently over the last half a […]

The Heart of Cajun Country
