Tyke and Tina Adventures
Retiring early with Social Security — and showing what life really looks like after.
We’re Tyke and Tina, and we retired early by making intentional decisions — including taking Social Security before full retirement age.
This channel isn’t about flashy numbers or perfect plans.
It’s about real-life early retirement.
We share:
Why we chose to retire early
How we use Social Security as a bridge
The risks and trade-offs most people don’t talk about
How simplifying our lifestyle gave us more freedom
Our goal isn’t to tell anyone what to do.
It’s to show what’s possible
Along the way, you’ll also see what life looks like after retirement — slow travel, simpler living, and more time for what matters most.
If you’re burned out, approaching retirement age, or wondering whether life really has to wait until 67, this is your place!
Welcome!
This channel shares personal experiences only and is not financial advice.

✨ Happy New Year! ✨
As we step into a brand-new year, our hearts are full—grateful for our family, friends and this amazing community, and thankful to God for guiding us through every country, customs check point, and “well…that didn’t go as planned” moment 😄
This past year brought new places, (6 new countries to be exact) new perspectives, a few wrong turns, and plenty of reminders that when we trust the journey, things have a way of working out just as they should.
Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and support of our not-so-ordinary retirement adventure. Here’s to a New Year filled with faith over fear, purpose over pressure, joy in the journey, and the courage to follow your heart—one step at a time.
Cheers to new beginnings and many blessings
With grateful hearts,
Tyke & Tina

Have you ever had one of those serendipitous experiences? We met this lovely family on the streets of Hua Hin Thailand that are from Idaho, very near our hometown. They are slow traveling just like us and we had a wonderful conversation with them about how they decided to go for it! Tips and tricks that could help you too. Come along and watch this fun video!
