Hey man! I’m sure you get a lot of these but today is the best day of my life and you are the catalyst. I’m 26, live in Northern Ca and my marriage of 2 years has come to an end. And that’s a good thing. We weren’t happy with each other with her heading in one direction and me heading nowhere. I have a job and whatnot, but I’ve been immature and had no passion or goal to strive toward. And that was scary... Until I opened the Reddit app this morning and was blessed to come across you. I’ve realized that with my life heading where it was and even where it could have been with her, I always had this feeling of “what if.” So, I’m so grateful to say, your success on your adventure has given me a goal and a reason to go on. I’m sure you get a bunch of people telling you the same stuff who sound serious, but end up staying comfortable struggling. But to tell you the truth, I was going to shoot myself at 8pm yesterday. It wasn’t until I thought of you and Dino that I thought... Why not focus this determination on wiping the slate clean, and doing what Ian did? Financially, I think I’ll be ok, I was involved in an accident when I was 4 and am now receiving $2,500 a month for life. So, when I saw that you can live off $700-$800, I figured I could swing that. Again, thank you. You saved my life whether you believe it or not. Keep enjoying your life and adventure the way you do and maybe one day I’ll pass the ambo and we’ll grab a beer.

Take care my friend.
