"In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina. Can't you see the sunshine, can't you just feel the moonshine. Ain't it just like a friend of mine. It hit me from behind. Yes I'm gone to Carolina in my mind" - James Taylor
In July 2001 I left my family and friends behind to spend a Gap Year living in the Kinston, North Carolina, USA. You can read all about it in the USA 2001-2002 section of this blog.
For a long time I yearned to go back, but recently I realised that the ten years since have brought their fair share of excitement. I had my scooter stolen, revealed a Dan Brown exclusive and captured a zeitgeist.

Dec 2011
Looking back on this year, I can truly say 2011 was magical. Not since 2008 have I done so much, and had so much fun in the process. Whether it was the free trip to Marbella, the two promotions or the fact that the end of the year sees me living in a great flat [...]
