"I'm going around the world!"


Hello!!! My name is Dave and I’m from London, and I'm very lucky to have been chosen to be the UK representative for the Bebo Gap Year.

i love to travel and explore different places in Europe, it’s so fun to book a dirt cheap flight and end up in the middle of no were in a place you have never heard of and end up partying with the locals, it’s great! I’d love to go to university in the future and study travel management and I’m really looking forward to travelling the world and exploring new places, and getting out of Europe for the first time!!

i love to go camping as I’m a scout at heart and enjoy staying in the outdoors and sleeping under the stars.

i havent been abducted........ yet
So here I am blogging away in a town called Roswell,

When I found out I was going to Roswell it reminded me of a documentary I watched about an Alien crash landing here and that all I seem to know about the place,

when I was younger my dad let me watch Alien movie's and X files and documentary's about abductions so I know a lot about Roswell and what went on here,

To say the truth the whole thing scares the living day lights out of me,

Is there really anything out there??

well Roswell is a big attraction for SCI-FI Fans and as we hitched a ride to my hotel it was an amazing sight to see what they have going on down the main road, like there is a Mc Donald’s shaped like a UFO, a UFO cultural learning centre, a museum, alien friendly Coffee shops, the cover up hotel, it’s really a big thing here and its really entertaining to see, even the lamp posts are shaped like aliens heads.

Well I’ve been trying to get some sleep but I watched the Roswell Alien Autopsy on YouTube and well I really can’t sleep I’m scared out of my nut!

I'll try and sleep with the light on and one eye open :(

today I planned to head over to Disney land for the day to release my inner child but unfortunately my PD Chris as picked up a fever in San Francisco and has turned very ill, I was a aware he was feeling a little rough but it has seemed to have got worse, I hope his ok and I wish him a fast recovery.

It’s not his thought that we couldn’t go to Disney land and I know that he would do the same thing for me if I was ill, Disney land isn’t going to run away any time soon and I’m sure to return in the future, these things happen when you travel and you just have to accept them,

For those of you that have been to LA before the public transport is very limited and we are staying in Santa Monica which is a distance from many places and you can only seem to get around LA by car, there isn’t much of an option and with the traffic being really bad, my pd just went to the doctors and got some rest which I don’t blame him for doing.
So I decided to spent my travel having a little wonder around Santa Monica and checking out the beach,

i dont have a driving licence you see so i can ride the rental car, also the only way to get to disney land is by a bus that only runs by once in the morning which was to late to grab which i missed so its left me at the Motel for the day

Last night I Skype my mum and she said there isn’t much to do in LA anyway so I think hanging around Santa Monica was the best option,

The beach is really clean and super sunny around here it’s so nice walking up the pier with the sun shining the palm trees it’s an amazing atmosphere.

The shops are great as well lots of surfer designers and big labels but again I have to try and not spend as I’m on a budget which is great as id end up buying rubbish any way's, your very tempted as it’s all so cheap but then you just have to ask your self do I really need to buy a pen just because it writes in space, like when will I ever have that problem lol, id just go and do it the Russian way and use a pencil lol :D

if your in Calfornia you really should try the Mexican Boritos there really really good! something different from a london kebab i guess :D

It’s been nice to chill out on the beach, get things done which have been on my mind like sending something home from the post office so it’s great I’ve managed to get some things sorted out, so a nice chilled out day in LA Santa Monica has been a good idea, it would be nice to check out Hollywood before I go, ill see what happens

I hope my PD is well he seems to have conked out in his room and I haven’t heard from him in a while, I might go and poke him....

I’m just pulling your leg I’m not that harsh!
Get well soon Chris!!

Road tripping


So we leave the wonderful San Francisco and head to LA, know we had to do in style and as we couldn’t get hold of a caravan we opted for a convertible rental car,

For the first night we went along the more scenic route of a costal ride along route 101 which goes all along the coast and is very pretty in its form.
It’s nice to see the Californian coast line rather than opting for a flight and taking the road on a more leisurely time.

We had to call it a day after a while on the road as we hit a forest fire on the way down and we was clueless of what was going on until we got told to turn around and understood we had to go back on are self’s about 3 hours which is not the best thing to hear but we decided to call it a night and we pulled into a resort just close to where we was told to turn around,
It was kind of weird because there was a forest fire going on and then right next to it was our resort and yet they still was taking in customers,

Baffled by the option we went along with it and got a much discounted room because of the forest fire no one was staying there so we went along with the whole thing,

Wow what a room! It’s an amazing place we stayed and we had a choice of 4 beds to choose from with a lovely aroma of alpine,

The next day when we left are room firemen were running around putting out fires and warming up and getting kitted up ready to tackle the blaze, it was extremely weird as we just check out after are stay and left like tourists who get a buzz on staying next to fires.

So we directed out route back on are self’s then down route 1 which is the express route and not the scenic but hey! What can we do about, so hunger strike and the Denny sign glowed, so it was time for a stop off,

Know I’ve been to the Canadian Denys but not the real mc coy of an American Denny’s and boy was I in for a treat. I tried the 4 plate lumber special and attempted to eat it all, I did very well but it’s always the pancake that hits you home and adds a horrible anchor to the meal but you just have to push yourself and remember your representing the British nation in these sort of situations but I ended up falling at the last hurdle the pancake was too much for me to take in, but I tried my best and what more can you ask for.

Travelling to LA via route 1 is still very spectacular in its scenery and it’s amazing to pass by all these different landscapes like sand dunes and mountains and corn fields it’s really got a lot to offer California, it’s a great state full of different places and that’s what I like about it.
Well as we pulled into LA I have to say it’s nothing special, a lot of people have warned me about LA saying it’s not hyped up to what it is and year I can gather than from looking around, but I’m not here for long and it gives me some time to gather some sights before I head to the airport

Right I’m off to Disney land :D

ahhh the good ole pint of tea...taxi drivers nation wide would be thanking you for years to come after that one...lol


Since your in LA you should spend the day harassing people until they
cast you in a commercial or an extra in a film or music video...it'd be savage and it'd be hard for the others to beat it....except for andre whos going tubing at the weekend

Dave my friend, i believe i have solved all your problems in regars to "im getting old and dont know what to with my life "thing. Since you began your travels you have become quite the breakfast connaseur so my plan/idea for you is........

when you return home open up DAVES BREAKFAST-BIN and share with the people the marvellous breakfasts of the world. too many people skip breakfast and dont realise how great it is....Didnt Labour make a hole campaign out of it a couple of years ago?

But your niche wil be that ye open after the clubs....imagine it? a nice new yorker or a lumberjack, canadian bacon maybe vermont mayple syrup with pancakes after a hard night out on the session.

Anyway you can take my idea but just make-sure you open one in Limerick!!!!!!!!

I managed to find a computer that has a flash player and i just watched your latest vid...OMG what a crack up you are RAVING all the way...WICKED!!! and you just leaving Chris behind LOL...i was just thinking about something like that if i was to meet up with someone from couch surfing or something what would i do with Huw :L :L :L you truely had me in fits there Uncle Rave

the sand dunes were out of this world. if i could do it again i most probably would. its such an adrenaline rush and because your life is pretty much in the hands of the driver well you could imagine

yeah well we are suppose to be heading to the islands...we are just gonna go with the flow and when we get there we get there...we are soo close so dont think we arent going LOL
