19M solo backpacker • Dec 15-Jan 9 • West Coast + CES 2025

Route: San Diego → LA → Santa Barbara → SF → Yosemite → Vegas

First big solo trip! Purpose: make real friends & learn from people, not just sightsee.

I'm staying in hostels, taking buses/trains, doing group tours (Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Zion/Bryce). Attending CES tech event in Vegas Jan 6-9.

Down for: beach bonfires, hiking, trying local food, random adventures, deep conversations, exploring cities, road trips, hostel hangouts, CES networking

Looking for:
- Travel buddies for parts of the journey
- Ride-shares (splitting gas/costs)
- People to explore cities with
- Locals who want to hang out
- Anyone attending CES!

About me: curious, open-minded, love good conversations. Down for adventures, food spots, beaches, hikes, or just chilling.

Let's connect if our paths cross! 🌴🏔️
