I would love to ride round America, I want to go and spend some time there, I've gone east so west is the next natural step, just had a friend who was refused a visa though because he didn't have enough ties in England to bring him back, worse thing is because he was refused that he is struggling for a holiday visa, they didn't seem to understand that he just wanted to travel lol, at this rate I'm going to end up in Canada instead [FLUSHED FACE]
Is the visa-waiver scheme no longer in use?? I'm not sure if it is or not, I seem to recall that they changed it....applying for a US visa sets off warning lights for CIS, they think you want to move here permanently, and they'll turn it down almost automatically....a visa-waiver gives you 60 days (or nine years in my case).....you can overstay it, and they can't really do anything because you didn't enter the US illegally.....then you come back on a different passport...allegedly...
Well like I say I am only just looking into it atm but I will research that, I love the fact that you can literally get anything in the U.S it's such a big country that you can find any type of landscape within it's borders, plus it's pretty Kwl to say you lived in All these places for abit
I'm going to the states in September for golf and all I had to do was apply for a ESTA which cost 14 dollars As UK residents we have to fill one out online
Yea I did that last year when I went to NY so it's still valid but doesn't that only entitle you to short visits? I'm talking like 6 months and get around abit
You could hope over to Canada on day 89, then when you return clocks set to zero and another 90 days!
To answer the original question .... 2000 miles in 5 days around Europe at the start of last month. The Nurburgring possibly being the furthest point at about 700 miles from home . ...
I gotta say, in the 24 years I've been in Cali, I've never traveled...few trips to Nevada and that's about it...I live about 10 miles or so from the Pacific, and two hours from now I could be at 9000ft if I wanted to...where else can you surf in the morning and ski two hours later?? (not that I do either of those insane activities)....I feel very fortunate that moving here worked out for me...not in the ways I had envisaged..quite the opposite, but in many ways better - just last Sunday, I was blasting through farmland pastures at about 4000ft at roughly 120mph, along with another 20 or so like-minded souls...the road weaved gently, and had some great elevation undulations, and all I'm doing is looking at the bloody cows and the other scenery...this place is simply marvelous!
That was my exact plan tbh get a working visa for Canada, do 3 months US, go Canada and work and travel, then US and home, should take me close to a year and then time to grow up and be a big boy lol
Sounds awesome d41, I did 6 months in oz a couple of years back, went and failed miserably at surfing one day then the next went two hours the other way and failed miserably at snow boarding lol, I loved the way of life and the plan was always to go back but I think the west is calling now
