After selling everything I owned in the UK, I retired early and set off to slow travel the world on a budget. This channel follows my first year navigating life after retirement — exploring Asia while learning how travel, health, and reality don’t always go to plan.
I share honest travel vlogs, real cost of living breakdowns, and what it’s really like to retire early and live abroad — including adapting to slow travel, mobility challenges, and an autoimmune diagnosis along the way.
There’s no luxury, no rushing, and no pretending everything is perfect. Just real experiences, affordable travel, and learning how to build a simpler life one step at a time.
Subscribe if you’re interested in retirement travel, slow travel, living abroad, or navigating big life changes later in life — even when things don’t go as expected. 🌏

Just a snippet of some of the things to explore in Doha City! Personally I preferred the downtown area with Souq Waqif with a camel park on the side of the street, and the surrounding Corniche (promenade). A very fascinating city!

I have had an amazing time in Kuala Lumpur despite all the health issues. I will miss the buzz and vibrancy and most of all the culture. I have absolutely been blown away by how inclusive and respectful of others Malaysians are and how kind and welcoming they have been to me. A very special place indeed and I am sure I will be back!

I made it to Saloma Link Bridge and got very lost in Kampung Baru and Chow Kit but still a lovely exploration around some local streets and markets!

You have to come to Tengkat Tong Shin in Bukit Bintang Kuala Lumpur just to see this amazing street art. I got very lost wandering about but it was so worth it!
