How I Sold, Packed & Planned for a Life of Full-Time Travel

In this video I will talk about the steps I took to get ready to travel the world full time. I will go over what I did with my house and my belongings, my cell phone plan, health insurance, mail, accessing documents while abroad and more.

I’m a solo traveler who retired early in 2024 to explore the world full-time. With ~60 countries under my belt, I now focus on slow travel, budgeting, and exploring destinations that are ideal for retirement or long-term stays. My goal is to help fellow travelers discover how to travel smarter, experience more, and make the most of their journey, whether you’re planning to retire abroad, live full-time on the road, or travel on a budget. Join me as I share insights, tips, and inspiration for a fulfilling travel lifestyle. Subscribe for weekly updates and practical advice!
