I’m sure most of you remember our past ‘Guest Traveler,’ and a college friend of mine, Brian Triplett, and his 8-month trip around-the-world that we wrote about in a post last July.

Well, after circling the globe it seems he didn’t shake the travel bug just yet, so he’s recruited a friend and set out on an equally adventurous endeavor: to walk across The United States of America.

During his around-the-world trip, we caught up with him more than halfway through the journey, but this time you can join in just as the adventure is beginning. Brian and his college buddy Denny Clark set out today on what hopes to be a three month walk across the country. Brian is a fantastic writer and has a great way of getting himself into interesting situations, so I suggest you follow along and lend them your couch when they come through your town.

You can follow along with their adventures on their website No Stranger Land.

Name: Brian Triplett(right) and Denny Clark(left)

Hometown: Davenport, Iowa (USA) and Ankeny, Iowa (USA) respectively.

Where and how they’ll be traveling: In their own words: “We are spending the summer of 2008 hiking coast-to-coast across the United States, performing random acts of kindness for the new friends we meet along the way. Our adventure begins on the Atlantic coast of Maine on May 20, and we hope to conclude our trip on the Pacific coast of California three months later. We will live minimally by traveling with our supplies on our back, camping, and cooking our own food. We will exist without luxuries, never paying or asking for accommodations or transportation. That said, we’re open to any good fortune that may come our way. In an adventurous, extreme approach, this is a study of how Americans interact with one another in today’s society.

Trip duration: Three months

Where our paths last crossed: Mickey’s Pub, Iowa City (USA).
