We are British born and in 2004 moved to Florida where we have been for the last 20 years. In April we sold everything, house, business, car…..and retired at 51 and 54 to start our full time travel life! I loved the USA but you have hit the nail on the head as to why staying was no longer achievable for our life goals. We are also more active, eat better and are throughly enjoying our new lifestyle! Thanks for the great content and insights!

I'm American, in my 60s, and a digital slow traveler in UK/Europe. I've just spent 3.5 weeks in Carcassonne, France (I'm now in Brussels). I was so surprised that while in France, I was able to have a bowl of cereal with milk every single day with no dairy issues. No upset stomach, no bloating. Also surprised that my ankles weren't as puffy as they are in the U.S. As you mentioned. it seems US food has so many additives, sugar, and salt, and it really affects people's health. The food here in Europe seems healthier and more wholesome. Of course there is fast food here in Europe, but it's not so in your face like it is in the US. Also, fruit and veggies are so mush more flavourful in Europe. I watch all of your videos, but this one really resonated with me! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences and insights with us! 🙂

We moved from Gainesville, VA to Bodrum area in Turkey 4 years ago and loving it here. The sea, sun, people, history, food and easy to travel into other parts of the world.. We are living the life of our dreams in Turkey.

As someone who has been able to travel abroad in the last few years, I truly appreciate your point of view on living in the US. Everything is super expensive, food is unhealthy, and the culture is vastly different. I love so much about the US but wish more people could see what opportunities lie beyond our borders and experience the beauty and dynamics of other cultures. Every time we return from our travels I see things through different eyes and can't help but compare. Also I am learning to "Live with Less to Have More"- the more stuff we own, the more it begins to own us and bring us down. Thanks for sharing your travels and knowledge, it is much appreciated. Safe travels!
