Hi! Welcome to The Switchback Diary, a tale of real-life events about an average joe family trying to find simplicity in the everyday life while navigating a marriage, toddlers, traveling, and finding meaning and purpose in this life.

My name is Laura, and I am journaling about a cross country road trip my husband and two kids are embarking on. I want to share our experiences in hopes that others will find inspiration to explore life outside of the 9-5 grind.
