After several emails and phone calls we finally met up at
the Whole Foods Market in downtown Austin. Being the friendly folks that they
are, we had no trouble making conversation. We picked out some appetizers and
wine and made our way to their RV. They were parked in the driveway of a local
Couch-Surfing host named Taylor.

Couch Surfing would take a whole separate
entry to explain, but the down and dirty is that it’s a website where you
create a profile, and you can host or be a traveler, all for free. We swapped traveling tips and shared stories (our whole 2 weeks’ worth..woo hoo!). We
finished the night by going to a free SXSW event at a local bar, and it was
nice to have someone to goof off with.

I expect we’ll keep in touch going forward, exchange
information on where to boondock, share our friend network and swap travel
stories.
Happy Friend Making,
M.
Yo! Seriously? You read all of the archives? Catch me up :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was great meeting you both. You're super-cool people and Ayo and I are looking forward to when our paths next cross.
