Our year away in photos (part 2)

Wednesday, 5 June 2013

Here is part two of my favourite photos from our year away. The first one was a must do, obviously.

Our engraved bottle in Lynchburg, TN
Somewhere on the road in Utah or Arizona (actually not sure!)
At the beach in San Diego, CA
Me, slightly drunk, in New Orleans, LA
If I had to pick one photo - it would be this. On the road, Utah.

I definitely enjoy scrolling endlessly through my photos from that year. Trying to vicariously live that life again, somehow. I know I mentioned this before, but I honestly can't believe how quick the past year has gone since we got back. I feel like I am scarily hurtling through my mid twenties. Lets not talk about how soon late twenties will be upon me!

If you want to know any more about our travels in North America; advice, information, or just want to be a tad more nosey, here is the travel blog we wrote whilst we were out there. The better posts are written by Aled!

Our year away in photos (part 1)

Wednesday, 22 May 2013

This is the first of two posts with my favourite photos from our year away travelling America and Canada. I wanted to share a few of these on my blog as it was such an incredible experience. I am sure all my family and friends are sick of me talking about it (yes, stilll, a year after we got back). Hopefully I can do it all again one day. It was hard to choose just 40 to spread across two posts, but I didn't want to bombard the blog with reams of travelling photos, and it's nice to have little highlights like this.

In 2011 and 2012 we backpacked around Canada and America for 5 months and then lived and worked in Vancouver for the rest of the year. I would definitely recommend Canada and America as places to travel around - I want to go back and travel around all the states and provinces we missed!

The quality isn't the best as I had my little point and shoot camera, i'd love to return one day with my DSLR!

Anyway, on to the photos....
