My Travel Story

by: James Wilkins Start Date: Sep 23, 2016 - End Date: Jan 22, 2017
Hello, my name is James.

When I was 20 years old I decided to up and move to Spain from England and within a month of being there I met my amazing girlfriend Claire. She was doing an internship from her Dutch College and we fell madly in love.

Once returning from Spain at the end of 2014 I managed 3 weeks at home, before booking a one way flight to Amsterdam. I moved into Claire's student room in Breda South Netherlands and found a job within the Bicycle industry.
I lived in The Netherlands for over a year and then decided it was time to come back to England for a while and over the past 8 or so months have been working in Central London, still in the Bicycle industry.

Now for the real journey...

As of January 2017 my girlfriend will be doing another internship but this time in America and a while back I said to her, no matter where you go I will follow and figure things out.

Initailly I had planned to go to America for 3 months, which then became 2 months and is now looking to be 2 weeks - 1 month since these things cost so much.

I plan to take in the American culture (for the first time), travel a lot and sight see, meet new people and I think this experiance will benefit my social and professional life and better my chances for the future.

I have been saving most of my money since deciding these plans and would really appreciate any donations to make this once in a life time trip possible.

Thank you in advance :)
