Neon glow. Riotous cheers. General debauchery. Pure indulgence in the senses. An oasis from the vast desert surroundings. That’s right. We’re talking about….Las Vegas!!! We took on the City of Lights for three days before finishing out the first...

On our trek from sea to shining sea, we’ve driven past some beautiful scenery and changing landscapes. We’ve passed through the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina, seen the outskirts of the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, experienced the Ozarks in Missouri,...

We LOVE CouchSurfing. We love it so much that even though we have already written about it once, we feel compelled to talk about it again! We recently stayed with Aaron of Memphis, the local CouchSurfing ambassador who has provided refuge to over 250 people from...
