I retired early, sold everything, and set off to travel the world full time.
This channel shares the reality of early retirement, slow travel, and starting over after 50 — including what happens when life doesn’t go to plan.
After beginning my journey exploring Asia, things changed when I became unwell and had to return to the UK. I now share the honest side of navigating a chronic condition, adapting plans, and rebuilding a life that looks very different to what I imagined.
Here you’ll find:
– Early retirement and life after 50
– Full-time travel and slow travel on a budget
– Selling everything and starting over
– Navigating health challenges and setbacks
– The reality behind “freedom” and lifestyle change
There’s no luxury, no rushing, and no pretending everything is perfect — just real experiences, honest reflections, and learning how to build a simpler life one step at a time.

Auntie loved this bag I made her for her birthday! Took many attempts to get the flowers right but happy with the end product! What do you think?

My daughter in law sent me a picture of a bag she liked and I recreated it for her birthday. What do you think? I also made her some mummy and baby matching socks which I think look very cute.

I visited Red Rock Canyon and did the boardwalk at Calico Basin and the 13 mile scenic drive and lookouts. A lovely way to explore the area and avoid the stiffling heat! The landscapes were awesome!

I visited this cute little town Blue Diamond, near Red Rock Canyon (thank you @Perolagrande for the recommendation!) Such a charming little town but I didn't spot a Burro!

A stop at Cactus Joe's (Blue Diamond Garden Centre) ended up being a morning trip! It was full of amazing quirky sculptures - just my cup of tea. Loved it and its a free activity to do and they even gave me a free bottle of water!

What a lovely place The Linq Promenade is to just stroll around in Las Vegas and this is where you can zipline and take the high roller, but otherwise just wander around the shops and restaurants and bars.
