An American Sketch

This is a series of articles about a 16,000-mile, four month road trip I made between March and June 2024.

It encompasses some of the best and least well-known destinations in the USA and bordering Canada. Travelling mainly solo also meant I met a varied cast of characters. The majority were affable, welcoming, mainstream Americans but adult film performers, retired cannabis growers, cult members and political obsessives also feature.

While motorcycling, roads and landscape are the common denominators, the articles that resulted include observations on art, architecture, literature, cinema, television, music, history and the socio/political climate, past and present. Food & drink also feature prominently along with occasional autobiographical details.
