CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the Pacific coast of California

ABOUT ME

Claire: I've just arrived in the US after 3 months in South America mostly in Bolivia! It was an amazing place which inspired me in many ways - mountains, jungle, salt flats, beautiful!

George: I've just submitted a British History PhD - after 4 years reading about medicine and charity in modern Britain, I'm in need of some chill out time.

Now we've rented a car and we're driving up the Pacific coast of California.
