Hey there! We're Nick and Steph. We grew up in the mountains of Colorado and have been traveling full-time since 2013! Both of us run independent online businesses which sustain our travels and allow us to stay on the road 24/7.

We absolutely love the freedom and simplicity of travel, and we love meeting people, sharing stories, and making friends along the way!

In 2013, we moved into a homemade camper van and traveled around the USA until May 2014, when we sold our camper and 'moved' into our backpacks full-time.

Over the last several years, we've been traveling full-time but spending a large portion of each year in Southeast Asia which has become a sort of "home base" for us. Our online businesses continue to support us on the road and we wouldn't trade our lifestyle for anything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to meet people all around the world and hear their stories! We also love getting to share our excitement for life and travel with friends, old and new. Couchsurfing provides such a rad opportunity to engage with people in different cultures and different walks of life. You're never really alone out there on the road!

Plus... we'd be lying if we said that having free places to crash isn't a HUGE plus, haha!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Any number of summit hikes on a mountain at sunrise. Alpenglow is one of the most the most beautiful things in the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

We love showing people how easy it is to travel! It's great being able to encourage people to throw a couple things in a bag, and just get up and go! We also love demonstrating the benefits of simple, sustainable living. We're both extremely passionate about a mindful, minimalist lifestyle and we're equally passionate to share that with others.

We also love to inspire people to start their own businesses or entrepreneurial ventures. It's hard work, but it doesn't have to be complicated. Anyone willing to hustle can start their own side project and make money independently! Doing this has given us the ultimate freedom to travel as we please, and we love seeing others enjoy the same freedom!
