So I'm Andy also known as Lurch to many of those that know me. Yes Lurch because i'm 6ft 9in tall and to be fair I don't mind the name. It has created me an identity that I'm happy to go along with.
I'm 29 at the time of writing this, married to the lovely Laura, my rock, whose Birthday it actually is today, (31 years young and yes I am a toyboy!) and she's disappeared out to a show with her Mum. Along with Laura, we are Foster Carers and have been for about 3 years now. We love it, we don't do it for the kudos and pats on the back, It's a cliche but we do it to help out those that haven't had the start in life we got.
I used to work in an office, I hated it, didn't like the 9-5 of it so got out of it. Simples. This enabled me to go to University which was one of my regrets when I originally left school. So I study History at DeMontfort Uni in Leicester. Love History and always have done so I figured to do something I will engage with!
Along with History I have a number of passions. I love Sport, most sports and Sky Sports is normally on in my house quite regularly. I play Cricket and have done for years. I can bat a little, I can bowl a little and I can catch a little. I suppose this helps me to keep getting a game with my local side.
I love Photography but if i'm honest i'm not really any good at it. I love travelling too and this is what I want to do. I want to travel, I want to write about places, I want to take pictures, I want to show my love for travel. I'm not saying i'm going to be any good at this but I will put effort into this. I have been accused of being a little lazy at times but when i want something, i have to have it!. No excuses. As a wise man once said.... Live With No Excuses, Live With No Regrets
I have traveled a few places in my short lifetime mainly Europe but i got married in 2012. She got to organize the wedding, I got to organize the Honeymoon :) So i traveled to my favourite country....Good old US of A!
I had been to the USA before as a kid with my parents to Florida and did the old Disneyland thing! To be honest I can't remember that much about it.
This time I booked us a 17 Day trip to the West Coast and this is what my first few blog's will cover. I will pick out the main places we visited and talk about them. Below is a list of my first few blogs on the following places.
Blog 1 - San Francisco - History, People and Good Old Fashioned Fun
Blog 2 - Highway 1, Stunning Scenery, Paso Robles and James Dean (Not Forgetting Bubba's BBQ)
Blog 3 - Los Angeles, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Blog 4 - Is This the Way to.........Phoenix
Blog 5 - Grand Canyon, Route 66 and the Hoover Dam
Blog 6 - Las Vegas - Sin City
After this I will look at other places, whether it is In Britain, Europe, other worldwide places and quite a lot on America as I could spend a year travelling around the whole of it and still want an extra 2 or 3 years more. Hopefully I will get to see a lot more of the place.
I will also blog on other things such as University, Sport, TV, Music and life in general and any successes or rejection's I have trying to get into this field of travel writing. So here is a Photo of me and my lovely wife on our honeymoon to give you a bit of a taster on what we might have in store for the opening 6 blogs. Hope you enjoy reading them. Please share them with whoever you like. Any constructive criticism and help is much appreciated!
