EAST COAST AMERICA 2019: whilst travelling and exploring East Coast USA I wanted to document my experiences in real time. I focus on the lesser-documented, the unusual and the unexpected. This blog is as much a reflection for myself as it is a travel guide for others. The process of writing a blog is new to me and I wanted to explore how it enhanced the experience. I found blog posts were essential to planning my trip; real accounts of niche experiences unburdened by advertising plugs and agendas. I wanted to create something meaningful and genuine I could share with others considering a trip to this rich and fascinating part of the world as well as for remembering it myself.
