……And it’s done! After a couple of months back in good old England I felt it was about time to conclude my little excursion with some reminiscing and acknowledgements (I will try not to ramble on, but if you have read any of my other blogs, you know I struggle with such things) And so it’s over! After 290 days, 5 continents, 17 countries and over a hundred cities I made it back to beautiful Leeds with all my limbs, £16.27 to my name and a very very sat...

I couldn't help but feel extremely giddy as two of the tasks I had set myself for the states were accomplished within minutes of leaving the airport, one; admittedly not the most challenging was to find a really really unskinny person, the first dude I saw was a security guard that was so large, I'm still unsure whether h...
