1Password Review: Protect Yo’ Shit!

*snicker* Yeah I laughed at my own title. Anyway, it always makes me laugh when people assume I have my shit together. Like (some? most? all?) humans, I have SOME shit together – not all. Not by a long shot. There are many things I know I should do…and still don’t 🙂 . Using a password manager was one of those things. I was told it was cheap, super easy and very secure in an increasingly unsafe digital world…and yet I did nothing. Continue reading “1Password Review: Protect Yo’ Shit!”

Slow Travel Review: Catskill, New York, USA – The Land Of Mountains

I’m sensing a pattern in these Slow Travel Reviews – I need to be more open 🙂 . I continue to be surprised with how awesome new towns are and how much they have to offer.

How I Manage My Money In Retirement

I randomly do Instagram AMAs in my Stories when that specific urge hits me. In a deviation from my norm where I embrace the “Anything” part of “Ask Me Anything,” the last one I did had a theme: Nomad Life. However, despite me setting parameters, people kept asking about my money and how I manage it. Continue reading “How I Manage My Money In Retirement”

Celebrating 1 Year Of Nomad Life: Revelations And Answering Your Questions

A milestone snuck up on me recently. Apparently it’s been a full year since my partner and I set out into the world and became nomads.
