Why?

Norfolk; a quiet corner of the UK, the place I call home. So why, when my family and friends are here and I can enjoy great walking paths, woodlands, beaches, great pubs and cafes do I always have a desire to leave, if only for a while? 

Well, in truth, I don’t know! I think I was inspired to travel after spending a semester abroad in upstate New York when completing my teaching degree. After our studying was over, a friend and I got Greyhound bus passes for a ridiculously cheap price that allowed us to jump on any bus in the states. 

Our first choice was to travel the 52 hour bus journey from Manhattan to Las Vegas (not the most well thought out desicion I’ve ever made!) However, for the next month we gathered many tales to tell on our journey around the U.S on board the Greyhound buses, eating 7 cent packets of noodles and...I loved every minute of it! Everyday waking up somewhere new and venturing to explore a different corner of a place, not knowing what you’ll encounter, or who you will meet along the way. And I guess that feeling has never left me.
