I’d always wanted to go to America, but somehow didn’t manage it until I moved out there for a year..! I studied American Literature and Creative Writing at my university in Norwich, England, and part of the degree course was a year abroad in the States.
In August 2009, I moved to San Francisco, California, for my year abroad, where I studied at San Francisco State University until June the following year.
SF is a home from home for me, and with only 11 states visited, there’s no doubt that I’ll be back to America in the near future, whether its for more travelling or to visit friends who’ve moved out there.

May 22, 2013 at 2:46 amThanks Terrie! Actually I loved New York when I got there – three days simply wasn’t enough, and I’m resolved to make it back for a longer visit!

July 22, 2017 at 1:58 amI realize this post it quite old, but it seems you haven’t returned as of yet. If you ever do, New England is the place to be. Especially in the fall! Breathtaking doesn’t even begin to describe the vibrant colors and beauty in nature. From the oceans to the mountains, it is all in one place!
