Hello!
'Wallace in America' is a now complete account of my time away in the USA.
On the 1st November 2006, I set out on a 10 week tour of The States, all thanks to the Nottingham Roosevelt Memorial Travelling Scholarship
I travelled over 7000 miles and visited 11 different states whilst I was out there, and I wrote about as much as possible on this here blog! - ('as much as possible' describes the fact that my two Grandmothers, my Mum and my boss were reading it.......so some things have been saved for the DVD special features.) I've just totalled up the word count actually, and it's longer than my dissertation that I wrote when I was a student........which says a lot!
Whilst in America I visited a number of Universities where I learnt about how they deal with community engagement. I've now returned to my job at Nottingham Trent University with my findings and hope to put them to good use.
As far as this blog goes, the beginning's at the end........which means the first post from my trip can be found right at the bottom of this page. They then follow in sequence one after the other, back up to the top.
You can look at my photos using the PHOTOS! link on the right hand side of the page, and you can follow the Robin and Roosevelt Virtual Scholar on his 40 year road trip by clicking on that link as well. Click here to find out who and what the Robin and Roosevelt Virtual Scholar is.
Lastly, if you've got it, you can use Google Earth to get a look at where I went. I've included coordinates in each of my posts, so all you have to do is copy them into the 'Fly To' box in Google Earth and you'll get a birds eye view of where I was! It'll also help to give you an idea of the distances and journeys that I was making between places.
Anyway. Have a read and I hope you enjoy it. Don't forget to check out the weblink to the Nottingham Roosevelt Memorial Travelling Scholarship, and feel free to E-mail me at the28wall@yahoo.co.uk if you'd like to get in touch for whatever reason.
All the best
