: Please email me if interested, im 20, f and looking for someone to travel for a week with somewhere in North USA, im in NJ at present, any offers/ideas where to go?
I am planning a trip, basically for fun, from Southern Wisconsin, through Colorado, Los Angeles (where I will be visiting friends) and then either Mexico or a drive up to Oregon or Washington (have friends in Seatle and Portland) - I may drive South to Texas first....
I'm looking at June or July for this, depends on the tour dates of a friends band and when my job comes to an end - long story.
I will be travelling with my dog (a youngish black lab).
As all my friends are committed by work, school, other plans (this is a spur of the moment decision, and I've always wanted to drive/camp to CA), I am tentatively looking for a travel companion in a similar position. I like guys just fine, but tend to prefer talking with women - as this will be a long trip, conversation may turn out to be important.
I like to read, travel (just got back from England/Scotland), play music (will probably bring an acoustic guitar), camp, hike, see live music, bike (may bring my mountain bike, but with the dog I don;t know if I will have many opportunities to bike), I like alt/drone/math/punk rock and would prefer to travel with a music lover.
I am reasonably informed on a variety of geopolitical issues, and certainly have an opinion about most things (haha) but I also like to laugh at myself - oh, and I'm usually pretty quiet in the morning until I've had my coffee...
I'd like to try to find an interesting, educated, opinionated, active person (who doesn't mind that I smoke) and if this sounds selective, the ideal person would also be selective.
Safety and trust are also big issues, we should talk on the phone at least, additionally, I have a bunch of really cool friends (female and male) that would certainly vouch for my personal morals and ethics - ask for references!
I've probably left something out, but we'll see what sort of response this gets - oh, and if you have an agenda (need to be a place at a certain time, that might be "doable." although I would prefer someone who was coming back east after the trip as well (for the company, I am a reasonable social creature! - ha!)
Thanks for reading if you got this far! I'm 29, professional and fun-loving.
And the car I'm taking is a '99 Subaru Outback Impreza Sport - four door/AC/All wheel drive/cruise, plenty of cargo space....
