Now into our 33rd year of financial
independence, we have traveled and lived in numerous countries. We consider
ourselves to be Global Ambassadors. Since retiring in 1991 and first living
in
Nevis, West Indies for six months, we sailed south on a Tall Ship to Grenada and
then flew to
Venezuela. We hung out on the beaches on Isla de Margarita and eventually made our way
back to the States.
At that time we purchased a 28 ft. 5th wheel trailer and
a tow vehicle,
and slow traveled the Western US for a couple of years. It was then that we
decided to do more international travel while we were young and flexible.
From
Arizona we flew to
Chapala,
Mexico
to stay for two months -- which unexpectedly turned into four years! We
became involved in the
local community teaching English as a Second Language and
building sporting facilities. We had a nice rhythm of traveling back and
forth from the States
and Mexico
when we
decided to explore Asia.
Thailand,
Vietnam,
Laos,
China,
Australia,
New Zealand and the
Philippines all were many month destinations which we are
still visiting and exploring.
We did
End of Life Care for our parents
in the States and
dropped into
Ecuador for a few months, and drifted back through Mexico.
Feeling the love of the
Latin Culture we made our way south along the
Mexican Pacific Coast and into
Guatemala and
El Salvador.
We definitely caught the bug of the
Mayan
culture and based
numerous years out of Guatemala traveling to
Belize, the
Dominican Republic
and Panama back to Vietnam and Thailand.
Always in search of that “One Particular
Harbor” to settle down into we continue to learn from other travelers about
new adventures to Saint Somewhere. Travelers love to share what they know,
the places they've been, their recommendations, and tips. The world's a big
place and there's always somewhere to go.
There are many ways to live a life and
all of you have to find your own path. We can only provide an example of our
experiences and travels during our three decades of slow, slow travel. You
can do the same, setting an example of
financial independence and creative
lifestyle for others helping them to expand their lives. Hopefully we can meet up somewhere,
someplace, sometime.
Where this all ends we
haven’t a clue, but in the meanwhile we are doing our best to be Global
Ambassadors and leaving places better than we found them. At 71 years
young we’re still “truckin”!
