The Countdown Has Begun!

Lead Scout for Early Retirement

In this next chapter, I’m officially taking on a new role: Lead Scout for Early Retirement. What does that mean? It means I get to go first!

I get to learn what it actually looks like to step away from the traditional path earlier than expected. I get to experiment with life that doesn’t revolve around team meetings and deadlines. I get to research logistics, visas, housing, slow travel, and all the practical details that make long-term travel sustainable.

This next season is about getting educated financially, logistically, emotionally. That way when we fully step into long-term travel, we’re prepared-ish. It’s about building confidence through experience instead of waiting for “perfect.”

Excited. Grateful. Ready!

I’m excited for mornings that aren’t rushed. For building a life that prioritizes health, curiosity, and flexibility.

But more than anything, I’m grateful.

• Grateful for the career that made this possible.

• Grateful for the lessons.

• Grateful for the people who have supported, encouraged, questioned, and cheered us on.

• And deeply grateful for those of you who are choosing to follow along.

Come Along for the Ride

If you’re here reading this, you’re part of the story.

Over the coming months, I’ll be sharing what I’m learning: the practical steps, the mindset shifts, the wins, the mistakes, and the honest moments in between. This isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about being willing to go first and document the process.

Thirty days from now, one chapter closes. And another one…bigger, freer, and a little unknown begins.

The countdown has begun!

And I can’t wait to share what comes next.
