Okay so you won't believe the last 2 days I've had. Like I said in my last blog we headed to Lake Tahoe to camp for 2 nights. James our tour leader gave us a pretty big warning of the cold temperatures expected at the lake so advised us to do a Walmart dash for warm clothes and extra blankets etc. With scarf, gloves, hat, track suit bottoms and a body warmer in toe we headed to the lake just after a nice lunch stop at a park where we had a kick about and soaked u...

Hey everyone from sunny San Francisco! Well, what a whirlwind of the last three days. I met my new trek group in LA and I'm so lucky again to have such a lovely group! This trek is going to be a bit different to the last as it's majority camping with 4 hotel nights out of 13, but I'm ready for the adventure. So anyways we set off from LA to Monterey Bay.

Designer everywhere and I want it all, but a bag cost more than my flights and accommodation put together.. and then some!! But I did treat myself to some clothe...

Hello all from New York, New York. I have so much to update you on so ill start from the beginning... I arrived in New York on Wednesday, which meant it was the end of my trek :(. After a sad goodbye we all separated our own ways... I got a tad lost but i waved down a yellow cab which sorted me right out, plus that was a cool first experience of NY.
