This post has the potential to be the length of a book so I'm going to try my hardest to keep it short. The last week I have mainly been based in LA. We first arrived at the Banana Bungalow hostel on Sunday the 12th and after a night of pizza and settling into our own private room, we spent the next day at Universal Studios, Hollywood. We also picked up Kiah, one of my really good friends from home to come along too as she was staying in the same hostel! It was...

After a quick 3 hour flight from Boston, I arrived at Dallas airport to do my first ever transfer and I couldn't have picked a larger airport. Dallas airport is insane, it seemed to have about 50 terminals and there was a monorail that circled the whole thing and gave the place a very futuristic look. After a short delay due to a lost plane handle (!) we boarded just 40 minutes late and set off for San Diego. Once we arrived and made it to the hostel we were re...

At this minute I'm actually on a night bus on my way to Boston, it seems the perfect time to actually get around to writing this, I'm sure 17 hours is long enough! This year at Western has been one of the most amazing years of my...

This weekend some friends and I made the mammoth journey to the capital of the USA, Washington DC. We spent a total of 32 hours on a coach over the 4 days, which consisted of listening to the Maverick Sabre album at least 3 times, beginning to read the Harry Potter books, persistently trying to complete Logo quiz and regularly annoying anyone around me. Surprisingly though it wasn't actually too bad. I think we have all become so used to travelling by coach that ...
