My name is Stefanie Brunner, and I am currently on year-long traveling stint within the United States and Canada with my friend Kaila Burtch. Kaila and I travel primarily by greyhound bus, so we can easily transport small items and the like. I am also an insured, licensed driver, with a great deal of experience driving long distances due to several road trips. I have never had an auto accident or traffic violation of any kind; I am also quite addept at driving a stick-shift, since my car is a manual. I discovered "U-ship" when an acquaintance of mine, who has traveled the US in a method very similar to my own recommended U-ship as an interesting way to determine where to go next, so we've decided to give it a try. The fact that Kaila and I are traveling for leisure means that we are very flexible and are able to offer rates much lower than commercial enterprises.
