We officially sold our house and left Indiana the same day—and now we’re just days away from leaving the U.S. for full-time travel. In this monthly update, we share what life has really been like after early retirement: visiting family across Colorado and Florida, quickly establishing residency in South Dakota, preparing for long-term travel, and getting ready for a transatlantic cruise to Europe. We also talk about the emotional side of leaving everything behind, building a new routine, and how we’re planning to travel the world without being millionaires. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to sell everything and start over, this is the real story. 👉 Coming next: Our cruise to Europe, Spain & Portugal stops, and life on the road full-time.
