Tour de USA
We saw so many beautiful things, met so many incredible people, reconnected with distant friends and family, and kind of fell in love with the diverse regions, people, food, and natural wonders of this country. We really want to thank everyone who let us stay on their couch, floor, bed, etc. We couldn’t have done this trip without our new Couchsurfing.com friends and family members who let us stay with them and munch on their food.
Here are some highlights from our trip.
