(Article links under construction)
AMRR SOUTH EAST ASIA
2013
Debut travel.
Out of college, university wasn't an option.
I worked on a building site by day and a bar by night to earn funds, before departing just after New Year 201.
Naive and thirsty.
Two months in Thailand & Cambodia.
AMRR AUSTRALIA HITCHHIKING/SKATEBOARDING
2013
Straight from South East Asia to a 24 hour stay in Kuala Lumpur Airport, before flying to Perth to visit family.
This was followed by a week in Adelaide with a friend.
I then hitchhiked to Melbourne, bought a tent, was gifted a skateboard then hit the road for two months. I would walk uphill, then skate downhill to Canberra, before onto Sydney. I met all manor of outback Aussie characters and friends for life.
AMRR NORTH EAST USA WINDSURFING
2013
Two weeks of rest after Australia before I flew to New York, then Boston. Transported to Maine with Camp America, where I worked at Camp Winnebago as a windsurf instructor for 2 months.
I then headed south to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, then inland around Pennsylvania visiting a local festival and meeting folk that had "never met an Englishman before".
I spent my last $20 spent on an ear piercing, before realising I had to pay for a train to the airport.
AMRR AUSTRALIA LANDCRUISING
2014/2015
After 2014 summer contract of building bars at Glastonbury Festival, I flew back to Perth to work deep in the WA outback for 3 months erecting fences for cattle stations and mine sites.
I purchased a white van which was stolen. I then purchased a 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser (pictured), named The Toy.
We drove to Albany, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Cairns with different passengers for each stretch, where I was skint, having spent all my money on the way there.
I picked up work as a Banana Humper, living in a campsite with other farm workers.
