ABOUT ME

What is Switchback Strategy?

Switchback Strategy is about approaching life’s most challenging goals a little bit at a time. If you’ve been hiking, you probably know that when a mountain is too steep to climb straight up, it helps to approach it at an angle. Even though it is not the most direct route, using switchbacks in this way keeps you moving forward. Here, we celebrate the pursuit of progress, not perfection. When it comes to getting outdoors, traveling smart, and financially planning for the future, this site offers a well-rounded roadmap for anyone who wants to live more adventurously and still be able to pay the bills. If you aspire for financial and lifestyle freedom, then you are exactly the person we want to build a community with.  Our hope is that by joining us, you learn something new, add to your skills, and grow in confidence. 

Who Am I?

Hey there, I’m Wayfarer. I am a star gazer, tree hugger, tea sipper, and late night Netflix binger. I am a broke millennial, always ready to say “yes” to the next adventure, and trying to do it for as cheap as I can. This is my story of how budgeting and saving has allowed me to feel less guilty about spending more time doing things that I really enjoy. After accruing a staggering student debt, figuring out my finances was a necessity, but traveling and being outdoors has always been my passion. My aim is to give an honest and transparent look at what it is taking for me. My goal is that through my experiences, you are given the tools and confidence to live a more authentic and adventurous life.
