BACK WHERE I BELONG.....CALIFORNIA! Ahhh what an epic 3 weeks it has been. Camping every night in all kinds of weather was definitely an experience i will never forget. From Chicago we carried on west through Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and finally California. The best day of my life was obviously getting to Mount Rushmore which i have dreamed about for as long as i can remember. The national parks such as Yosemite (CA) and Yellowst...

I've moved around since Tuesday and i am alot happier than i was in my previous post. I changed hostels in San Diego which made my stay so much better. The new hostel was so much more social and full of travellers which is what i wanted. On Wednesday i spent the whole day at San Diego zoo, seriously walked around for 6hours it was just huge. The animals were cute and its somewhere you have to go if youre in san diego. I spent the night drinking with people in the...

It was abit of a s*** hole really but very strange to walk around somewhere that i have probably spent a month of my life watchi...

So 4 days in and i am loving life. LA is amazing, so much to do so much to see, everything is just so weird and wonderful. So far i have done the touristy things like Hollywood sign, Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, Walk of Fame etc. They were cool but nothing to spend too much time on really. Have also been to Venice Beach which i will go back to for more time sometime this week, that cool-full of graffetti and crazy people-i had my first experience of seeing a tramp...
