We are both writers who retired from our day jobs on December 1, 2023. As part of our retirement dream, we plan to do more personal writing and to spend part of each year living abroad so we can experience some of the amazing world cultures in more depth.
We decided to create this blog so we can share our experiences, both at home and when we travel. We hope you will travel along with us.
