California

The United States of America offers a whole wealth of stereotypical adventures for the intrepid traveler.  None more so than embarking on the Great American Road Trip from Canada down the east coast to the south of California in an old A-Team style Chevy campervan.

Now as you may or may not be aware, this is a trip that greatly appealed to me, as I‘ve always believed that there’s no better way to experience traveling than in a campervan. What more could you want than to have the freedom of meandering at your own pace through a country with no time restraints or schedule to adhere to.

I had many different personal experiences during my journey to California through the states of Idaho, Washington and Oregon that made this trip particularly memorable.

As an Australian, I found that we are in many ways culturally very different to the American people.  One major difference that was of great interest to me during my time there was the presidential election process.  I was fortunate enough to experience the historical Obama election, which was a great education for me in personal ideologies.
