When I visited Florida back in 2017, I didn’t exactly fall in love with the place. I mean, almost getting abducted by a paedophile and getting stuck on the Seven Mile Bridge for three hours isn’t everybody’s idea of a perfect holiday, is it?
In 2017, my friend, Jess, and I did a road trip across the USA. Miami to Seattle, truly a cross-country road trip if there ever was one. Jess, at the time, lived in West Palm Beach, FL and repeatedly asked me why Miami was on the itinerary and if we could skip it. Despite her reluctance, I was convinced that we needed to do the USA from the South East to the North West. I’d put a considerable amount of effort into making my itinerary and if Jess wasn’t going to join me, then I’d go alone.

How I was Almost Abducted by a Paedophile in Miami
September 27, 2018
Whenever I tell this story, I find myself laughing, usually to horrified expressions. “That isn’t funny! That’s terrifying!” they object. I’m not sure why I laugh. I know it’s not actually a funny story. Maybe it’s the absurdity that makes me laugh, or maybe it’s my twisted sense of humour and the fact that I cannot break out into giggles whenever something goes horribly wrong. It’s easier to laugh than to cry, right? Continue Reading…
Everyone’s heard of the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Yosemite. Bryce Canyon, though? It’s rarely makes the cut on the ‘most beautiful places in America’ lists and I want to know why. Continue Reading…

Cape Cod to Connecticut
March 30, 2017
I’m currently in the process of planning a great American road trip – Miami to Seattle. It’s giving me flashbacks to the first time I did such a thing but on a much smaller scale. A road trip from Cape Cod to Connecticut way back in 2013 when I was still in University. Continue Reading…
So you’re visiting Cape Cod? You can’t miss out on Provincetown, one of the US’s most famous gaybourhoods. Here’s my list of what you need to see whilst you’re there. Continue Reading…
I wrote a blog post a few weeks ago called ‘New York Minute‘ about those brief hours I spent in New York City with a limited amount of money. The one thing I knew I should go all out on, money-wise was the Empire State Building and I’m so glad I did. Continue Reading…
No, this isn’t a recap of that fabulous film with Mary-Kate and Ashley (and Simple Plan for some reason). This is the story of how me and my friend, Emily, found ourselves in New York City with little money and little time to spare and how we somehow made it out of there alive. Continue Reading…
From what I’ve heard, Provincetown is like the Brighton of Massachusetts. All year round, it’s pride time and there’s no stopping the rainbow flags, the day time drag queens, or the proud flamboyance. However, despite the progressive liberal take, it’s still Cape Cod, and that means one thing. You’re having fish for dinner. You’re a vegan, yeah, we don’t care, you’re eating fish.
