Hello people. I am embarking on a new life. I have been working and or studying for 45 years of my life. Having built a very good life, especially the last 33 years, with my wife we are now about to enter the retirement years. My wife likes to call them the “freedom years”. This blog is going to act as a scrapbook and way to communicate with family and friends. We will share our travels and life as well as the people and experiences along the way. I hope to give insights not just on the places, people, and experiences but also on costs. This page is a work in progress and I hope it evolves for the better as I have and hope to continue to do.
