Roaming the U.S. of A.

Hello !

Im planning a slightly random trip round the US on a shoestring budget (translation - Ill be sleeping on people's couches) and a greyhound pass. In many of the cities I'm visiting, I have people to stay with, but in many I dont. Im including my itinerary below and the cities in which I have no company are in bold.

If you are in any of these cities do please let me know ! If nothing else, we could meet up for a coffee.
if you know interesting people in any of the cities, Id love to meet them too, since basically Im just roaming about !
Please feel free to forward this email to people who may be in these or other interesting places who might not mind me bunking on their couch for a night :-)

My itinerary is fluid and open to fairly broad changes. I'd appreciate suggestions as to what places I could visit !

I look forward to hearing from you :-)

Sincerely,
Prasanna

Pale Blue Dot

Pale Blue Dot
This is the famous Voyager photo of the earth. The small dot in streams of scattered starlight, artificially highlited so that it can be seen. Our insignificance is beyond our comprehension.
