Retire and Travel the World

After selling everything that I owned in the UK, I retired early to slow travel the world on a budget. This channel follows my first year exploring Asia — Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and South Korea — and sharing what real life after early retirement looks like.

Join me for honest travel vlogs, cost of living insights, peaceful experiences, and reflections on building a new life abroad. No luxury, no rush — just authentic, affordable slow travel.

Subscribe to see what it’s really like to retire early, live simply, and explore the world one country at a time. 🌏

Retire and Travel the World

My effort at making a UK Christmas dinner without an oven! Managed chicken, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, brussels and red cabbage. It tasted better than it looks! Hope you are all having a lovely day! 🎄

I had the most fun at Berjaya Times Square Theme Park! Never too old for a roller coaster!

The kindest thing happened to me today in Kuala Lumpur! I was walking back and it started to rain and as I got nearer to my condo it started to get quite heavy but I find it hard to hold up my umbrella whilst using my crutches.

As I crossed the main road and reached the other side a gentleman put his umbrella over me. How far have you got to go? He asked. When I told him where my condo was he kindly walked me all the way there until I was in the dry by the lobby.

What an amazing act of unselfish kindness! Just another reason to love KL!

I went to the cinema to watch my first Malaysian Horror Film (with subtitles). I do like going to the cinema and it was a great experience. It cost me £3.46 for a ticket and there was hardly anyone there and comfy seats. The film was very jumpy and a great supernatural story. All in all a very enjoyable experience!

I am managing to get out and about a bit this week and really enjoyed the park at KLCC. Hope you are all having a great weekend!

After a very long travel day I made it to Kuala Lumpur and the view is not too shabby from my apartment. What do you think?

Soon I will be leaving Chiang Mai and heading to Kuala Lumper in Malaysia. Hopefully I will be able to get about more and see more sights but what do you want to see videos on? Let me know what most interests you and if you have other suggestions please add to the comments.
