CURRENT MISSION

Meandering our way from Texas to Argentina. Meeting and learning from the people we meet along the way.

ABOUT ME

We are traveling through Central & South America by vehicle. We got rid of everything and now we live in our "mini-RV" that is a Toyota 4runner. We camp out of our mini-RV as much as possible to save money for our travels. We love exploring new places and getting to know the locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Before we left Austin, we hosted travelers (not through couch surfing, but other forums). Now that we live in our vehicle, we can't host right now. All we need is a parking spot to experience your city. If you have a place that we can park our mini-RV and possibly even use the shower, please let us know!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a nurse and firefighter/EMT, we have been through some fun training, witnessed some amazing miracles and we have many interesting stories from our careers. We also have learned some very strange & random things as a consequence.

In 2012, we quit our jobs and sold everything we own. We currently live on the road and are traveling as much as possible...we think that is pretty amazing!
