Frequently Asked Questions

Explore answers to common questions about our journey into early retirement, slow travel, and intentional living, straight from two real people figuring it out in real time.

Who are Felix & Sheryl?

We’re a couple in our early 50s preparing for early retirement and a slow-travel, expat lifestyle. This site documents our journey—real, unpolished, and in progress.

Are you retired already?

Not yet! We’re still in the transition phase, working, planning, and learning what it takes to leave the 9–5 behind.

What is this site about?

It’s part journal, part resource, part experiment. We share personal updates, research, tools, and lessons as we prepare for life abroad.

Why did you start this journey?

We wanted more from life—more time, freedom, and connection. Early retirement and slow travel felt like the path to that.

Are you financial experts or influencers?

Lol, nope! Just a determined couple figuring things out and sharing what we learn to help others on a similar path.

What is slow travel?

Slow travel means staying longer in fewer places, soaking in local life, and being present rather than rushing through destinations.

Where are you planning to go first?

We haven’t locked that in yet! We’re exploring ideas based on cost of living, lifestyle fit, and visa options.

How are you preparing financially?

We’re tracking expenses, downsizing to nothing but two carry-ons & two backpacks, building savings, and researching investment and healthcare strategies that work across borders.

What kind of resources do you share?

We share our personal experiences, checklists we’ve used, budgeting tips we’ve adopted, location research, mindset shifts, and real-time updates from our journey—failures and all.
