Almost Retired Abroad
Scouting the BEST places to retire so you don’t have to guess.✈️
Welcome to Almost Retired Abroad! I am documenting the journey of leaving the traditional 9-to-5 behind to explore the realities of early retirement and slow travel.
Whether you are ready to pack your bags or just in the "almost" phase, you’ve found your community. I don't just show the highlights; I dig into the numbers, logistics, and on-the-ground research so you can make informed decisions about your next chapter. (Not a relocation service, we're learning this together!)🙏🏽
What you can expect:
* Real Cost of Living: Honest breakdowns of rent, groceries, and budgets (currently focused on Panama 🇵🇦).
* Location Scouting: Deep dives into specific towns to see if they are actually livable. 🌎
* The Transition: How to navigate the shift from working life to global freedom alongside a like-minded community. 🤝
Stop guessing and start planning. ✅
