Santa Cruz...beach time!

Whilst I enjoyed my four days in San Fran, I have a tight schedule to fit in all I want to do before Hawaii at the end of January. Therefore I had to tear myself away & head on down the coast, to Santa Cruz. I arrived a couple of hours before the hostel opened, so I immediately went to the...

California!

WOW. I got off the plane from dreary Seattle to be greeted with clear blue skies & 20oC heat. Immediately, before even getting the tube to downtown, I had a feeling I was going to like this place! Having checked into my hostel (bit of a dive), I walked along Market Street (the Main St) to the...

Minneapolis

After a few days in Wisconsin, Jay, Joyce and I visited the Swedish Institute in Minneapolis – a grand mansion which used to be the home of a Swedish-American newspaper tycoon. It was interesting to read the newspaper cuttings of stories relating to the Swedish emigrant community. It almost...

Chicago

My main reason for visting Chicago was to visit a ska music festival with some international reggae and ska bands. Most of my time was therefore spent at the festival venue, an old warehouse in a middle-of-nowhere part of town. I saw some good bands there such as Symarip, Eastern Standard Time,...

Denver

I took an overnight train from Chicago to Denver and actually managed to get a full eight hours of sleep sitting up. When I woke up in the early hours of the morning I discovered a completely flat landscape outside, glowing in the yellow morning light. I used Denver, at the very...

Rocky Mountains

First on my itinerary around the mountains was the Rocky Mountain National park, one of the most visited areas in Colorado. I tried to do some exploring by foot, but because of the high altitude I quickly became out-of-breath from just doing some easy hikes. In the...

Salt Lake City

The train rolled into Salt Lake City at 1 AM, two hours late. Luckily, Kristina, another couchsurfer, was there to pick me up at the station and drove me to her parents house where I was staying. Salt Lake City is perhaps best know for being the Mormon capital of the world. This religious...

Arriving

On the 3rd of September I landed in scorchingly hot Boston with a jetlag and a slight fever, a little bit anxious to be in a new country and not having settled in properly. After checking in at a youth hostel I decided to begin my trip with some sightseeing in the central parts of town like...
