The beginning of all things wonderful.

This is it. The first post of a new blog...exciting stuff, really. REALLY! And, the beginning of a new adventure - the next direction in the lives of one man: ShaunPaul.

...For months, he has been battling and braving the harsh arctic wilderness of Canada. The rugged mountains. Desolate prairies. West Edmonton Malls.Unassailable terrain has been assailed, unconquerable things conquered, and, um kids at camp entertained. All good stuff!

But now, ShaunPaul is on a new and wondrous adventure. America! Yes. The land of opportunity, the greatest country IN THE WORLD - is the new home for this travelling hooligan. Well, the state of California to be precise. Here, the 'Governator' Arnold Swarzenegger reigns with an iron fist (and a bulging bicep) - and where the word 'plastic' is not just associated with ice-cream containers. This is it.

..Over the next year, we will attempt to best update and account the happenings of ShaunPaul, to keep you fanboys (and girls) happy. But don't expect once a day posts - we will update things as they happen, when they happen. So keep checkin'!

Thanks people, love you all. From your all-time best buddy,
ShaunPaul.

Join ShaunPauls' Adventure!

ShaunPauls' travelling expeditions through North America (and hopefully beyond) have spanned just over a year now. It's truly hard to believe. Against all the odds, challenges and hurdles we have faced, we are still here - living on instinct, living on low cash - living the dream.

The reason?

You!

We have met so many awesome people along the way who have helped us achieve the seemingly unachievable.

Canadian family who took us in for 3 months.

Hooked up with jobs, right when we needed them. Thanks to Scott, Rando, Andrea and Dane.

Warm homes to live in.

People helping us to find our feet in the US. Special thanks to Cristina, who opened her home for 2 months, and Christian - who kindly lent us his car.

Friends. We love you all.

How you can help:

There are many ways you can help. whatever it may be, we'd love to hear from you. Here's a quick list of things to get you thinking:

- Have us stay a night or two. Know of anyone with a spare room? Shaunpaul is not bound to any given location!

- Know of any jobs in your area? Let us know. We're both college grads, and are up for anything.

- Any suggestions as to where to go, or what to see? We're new here!

- Tell your friends about us. Show the blog, share the love.

- Just hang out. We're friendly, I promise!

If you wanna chat, feel free to flick me an email at shaun.t.nz@gmail.com . We'd love to hear from you!

Keep in touch people.
