Hello! We are Hamid and Alyssa and we’re traveling all over this beautiful country in our converted min-van :)

We started our journey in January from Dallas and we’re traveling along the southern border staying in border towns and campsites going towards California.

This is our first time trying couch surfing but we both love to get to know more about locals and make friends in every town we go to, so we figured this would be a great way to do just that :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One amazing way to get the most out of traveling is to commune with the people of each area. Couch surfing seems to be the best way to do that!
