Hi all!

We are traveling the month of June to explore new cities (like Seattle and Portland), while also returning to some of our favorite spots (like Big Sur and New Orleans). We are looking forward to potentially meet new and exciting people along the way!

Along our journey, we'll be visiting WY, CA, OR, WA, MT, SD, LA, UT, TX, CO, NV, and FL. In some states, we'll be camping (like at Yellowstone National Park, Zion National Park, and Glacier National Park).

Our quest stemmed from our long desire to explore different cultures together- and we're excited to finally hit the road!

We will end in Naples, FL (early July), and we'll be staying there until the end of September. For the whole month of October, we will be in Nepal hiking Everest Base Camp and staying in tea houses along the way up and back down to Kathmandu.

And our exploring won't end there, we have very many countries in mind that we're looking forward to explore and potentially live!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Excited at the prospect of meeting new, likeminded people! There's no better way to get acquainted with a new place than under the guidance of the professionals (locals)!
