CURRENT MISSION

Englishman in California

ABOUT ME

I'm a Brit currently travelling across California for a couple of weeks before I start working at the end of July.
I'm a soccer coach and will be coaching all over California, but for now I'm seeing as many sights as I can.
So far I've spent some time in Sacramento and Lake Tahoe and am now heading down to San Diego. In between I'd like to stop off anywhere along the way.
I love travelling and meeting people (this is my fifth time in the states).
