Ten years ago I moved to New Hampshire for the @FreeStateNH, looking for freedom, purpose, and a better life.
It was the single most important decision of my life, and I've been immeasurably better off since then.
Here's a quick recap of my last decade.

In 2012 I came across the Free State Project from a liberty think tank list from @AtlasNetwork.
I watched with some interest from a distance, but when a Democrat state rep specifically called out Free Staters as a threat, I knew I had to move ASAP!

In 2013, I packed up everything I owned into my car and hit the road, starting the long journey from Phoenix (about 50 hours driving). No job or housing lined up.
Almost hit an elk in Colorado and got blown into a cornfield in Kansas, but I made it!

Hit the ground running pretty much right away. Started a podcast as was my duty as a libertarian. 🤣
Also got a job right away teaching taekwondo, and finally got that state championship I was chasing.
From there I did basically every kind of activism imaginable.

Worked for couple years for @AFP_NH promoting freedom in electoral politics at the local level (I still volunteer occasionally to this day).
I also traveled as a volunteer to promote the FSP and get more people like me to move for freedom!

I also started my own activism project @RightsBrigade (on break) to try to mobilize mostly volunteer activism and run only on Bitcoin donations.
Biggest thing we did was #JuryNullification outreach. We covered 10/11 courthouses in NH, sometimes several simultaneously!

Speaking of #Bitcoin...
I also got involved in cryptocurrency. On my trip to NH I received some Bitcoin. Started only accepting payment in crypto in 2015, then closed me bank account the following year.
Still at it almost 8 years later!

I've traveled the world, but New Hampshire is the only place I've really called home.
Beautiful place, great quality of life, and it's only getting freer.
And the thousands-strong Free State family is a ride-or-die network like none other.

Not telling you want to do with your life, but you should at least visit New Hampshire sometime. Maybe even move, who knows.
All I can tell you is my story of the best decade of my life after I came here looking for freedom. I found it.
Maybe you will too...
