2025: My first full year taking a run at retirement!

2025 turned out to be my most traveled year ever—and somehow, I feel that I’m just getting started.

January – Vietnam
(HCMC, Nha Trang, Da Nang, Hoi An, Hue, Phu Quoc)

February – Cambodia & Thailand
(Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Bangkok, Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao)

March – UK & Europe
(London, Greece, Iceland, Poland, Germany, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Italy)

April – October–US & Mexico

(Mesa and Rocky Point—two incredible home bases)

November & December – SE Asia
(Hanoi, Kuala Lumpur, Bali)

Every trip felt different. Every move resets my brain. And somehow, it all worked out absolutely perfect!

2026: Already Booked (Of Course It Is!)

January to mid-April
Mexico, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Philippines

May to October (Homebases in Mesa/Mexico)

Volaris + Frontier all-you-can-fly chaos—route TBD, cheap is guaranteed

Nov and Dec– Europe by Rail-pass

Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Southern Spain/Portugal

Eastern Europe is still being self-negotiated with my grade-three attention span.

GoWild! Frontier all you can fly!✈

This was the first all-you-can-fly (AYCF) pass I bought back in 2023 and 2024, and I paid $499 USD for it. Solid value—but when the price went up, I decided not to renew for a third year. I just wasn’t using it enough to justify the increase.

Then
 plot twist.

UPDATE: The pass went on sale for $299 for 2027.

At that price?
No spreadsheets.
No internal debate.

Renewed. đŸ™ŒđŸ»

Sometimes the best travel decisions are the easiest ones—especially when the math suddenly starts working very hard in your favor.
