USA! USA! I lived in the US for a summer in 2008, working on a Christian camp in New Hampshire. Since then, I’ve visited 26 states, including the closest I’ve ever had to a “typical” holiday – Walt Disney World and Universal! My most recent visit was an epic month-long road trip in 2018 down the west coast and across to some of the best national parks in America.
My top 5:
⭐ Hiking Angel’s Landing In Zion National Park
⭐ Yosemite In A Day: All Of The Incredible Views
⭐ The Perfect Day(ish) In San Francisco
⭐ Hawaii On A Budget: How I Did It For $300
⭐ Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend: The Gems Of Page, Arizona

We were in no rush to leave Zion, which meant we could meander slowly towards Page, in our sixth state of the road trip, Arizona. Page was another repeat visit for me, but last time I was there, we took a walk to the now Instagram-famous Horseshoe Bend and took a quick dip in Lake …
Just over ten years ago, I made my first visit to Zion National Park and managed to miss out on the famed Angel’s Landing hike. We had a few options for hiking, and after hearing that one of them would be a four hour hike with lots of terrifying drops and chains, my friend and …
I can never really decide if I want to do a year in review post until it gets to Christmas and I suddenly realise the year’s almost over and start looking back at what I’ve done, what’s happened and thinking about what’s going to happen. 2018 has been a really strange year for me. I …
We arrived in Las Vegas in the dark. Which means all we could see were bright lights and huge hotels and flashing casinos, and you could almost forget that it was dark – but you definitely couldn’t forget that you’re in Vegas. Hotels are, of course, a quintessential part of any trip to Vegas, although …
I must admit I had never thought of the drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas as particularly exciting, given that the entire drive is through desert. That’s until I did a little research. On my TrekAmerica trip 10 years ago, we had driven the other way from Vegas to LA, and literally the only …
Of all the places that took us by surprise on our road trip, I think San Diego comes out on top. It wasn’t even on our initial itinerary. I was pretty sure we weren’t going to have time, especially when I found out that Yellowstone National Park closes on November 5th and we’d have to …
It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of LA. After my brief stop there ten years ago, I always said I wasn’t bothered about ever going back – but it felt kind of unavoidable on a road trip that was leading us down the coast of the USA, and in some ways I did …
It seems like I’ve been ticking off a lot of bucket list items on this trip – and our drive down the Californian coast along the infamous Highway 1 was no exception. We hit really lucky with our road trip in California – we missed the recent fires by a couple of weeks, escaped the …
When I was going through my photos from San Francisco to try and choose which ones to use for my blog post about our time there, I really struggled to narrow it down to less than 50. The main reason for this is because San Francisco is full – FULL – of pretty buildings. Of …
Yosemite National Park has always been one of those places that I’ve really wanted to visit for as long as I can remember hearing of it, but in reality I actually had no idea what to expect because I’d never researched it. So while I knew we were going to be in for some beautiful …
