Road Trip

September 18th, 2012
Hi all,

I just started on a cross country road trip/photography project a few days ago. My intention is to travel from the east coast to the west coast, down the coast of CA, and then back east through the south, couchsurfing with strangers mostly, and photographing it all.

Would love feedback, or if simply just interested in following here is the blog i am keeping:

Enjoy!

How cool! We drove from CA to OH this year and it was an amazing road trip. Now getting ready to go from OH to FL.

Ohhhh, you are so blessed to be able to do this. I can't wait for retirement so we can head out on the open road! I live in Eastern Washington, so If you want info on places to see in Oregon Washinton and Idaho let me know and I will get some info together for you.

How are you deciding who to couchsurf with on this trip? Do you have a traveling companion?

It sounds like a fun project. I'll be following along with you.

Good luck! My advice is to stay on two lane roads as much as possible. You can't really see America from the freeways.

One thing I do when 'on the road' is take pictures of signs - particularly ones that contain the name of the location. It is an effective way of labelling 'in camera' where a group of pics were taken. I also use them in my photobooks/albums as a page header.

Thanks everyone!


@dmortega - I am traveling solo and using couchsurfing.org. It's a great site!

@sarie - Most likely will be in Memphis in early Nov. If you are around I might actually take you up on it!

LOL I'm always around, unfortunately. I miss traveling SO much, but don't do much of it anymore. :(
