Trying To Leave-where am I going? Welcome to my blog where I share my journey discovering new cultures, exploring new territories and seeking a new home for retirement all while learning along the way

Hello! My friends call me "E"—mostly because they can't remember my actual name after a few glasses of wine. I'm a single woman from the US who's semi-retired. You know, that magical state where you can wear yoga gear all day and call it "self-care." After selling my business, I faced the age-old question that has baffled philosophers and confused cats alike—now what? I always dreamed of retiring early, traveling, and seeing the world (which, is bigger than my own living room, state or even country).

• Discovering new cultures, where breakfast is just spicy enough to cause a mild blaze in my mouth—what a time to be alive! Who needs a doughnut when I can get a dish that doubles as a fire hazard-right?

• Meeting exciting new people (who hopefully don’t ask me what I did before retirement, because I still haven't figured that out- it was all a blur!).

• And, of course, finding a place to retire and RELAX! Preferably somewhere with a beach, a piña colada in hand, and no one asking me to do anything remotely productive.

So, buckle up world—E is coming for you, and I’ve got a suitcase full of mosquito spray and questionable life choices!

Check back for my next post as I detail how I actually got started with this arduous process-hopefully you will find it beneficial.
