Welcome to Happy To Be Homeless.com

We're glad you stopped by. Join us in our action-packed two and a half year tour around the world. We're a married U.S. couple in our early thirties who chose to give up our jobs, home, and responsibilities to backpack around the globe. Come along with us as we leave conformity behind and travel the world in search of adventures. By sharing our stories and photos, we hope to inspire others to live life to the fullest and experience all that the world has to offer. "God gave us a book, and those that haven't traveled have only read the cover." Don't get caught up in the "Rat-race." Take time out of your busy life and chase your dreams.

We decided to take a few months off from our world tour to travel around the United States and Canada. Hopefully now that we’ve left Africa, we will have more internet time to get everyone caught up on our travels. Also, Bryan has been working hard to edit and post photos. You should be seeing our Photo Gallery fill up in the weeks to come. Bryan is also starting to post his best photos on iStockphoto. If you know any businesses that may be interested in his work, please pass on the word!
