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.
