About Me

We are Meri and JosepM, a catalan couple that in 2024 start our dreamed new lifestyle: travel without a return date!

We have started in USA (California) and have visited Mexico (Baja California) but we want to visit Canada and keep going with Central and South America (Alaska-Ushuaia). We don't know how long we will take to do all the journey, indeed this is not important, the most important is to meet interesting people, learn new cultures and enjoy the trip, in fact, the destiny point is secondary.

In order to make this dream come true, we have bought a motorhome in USA (a 1999 GulfStream Conquest 22ft Ford E350) that it has become our nomad home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because we think it is the best way to know a country culture and we would like to meet couchsurfers that can guide us to better accomplish our dream.
