Up to this point in my life, I haven’t had the pleasure of exploring a lot of South America. I spent two weeks in Ecuador in 2018 and went to Aruba once in college, but that’s it. One of my best friends is from Argentina and moved back after the first year of my career. I hadn’t seen her in person since. So we set out to change that!

I feel like every monthly recap begins with me not understanding how time is passing so quickly…and I will not be breaking that streak today ๐ . How is 2022 80% over?!? My brain cannot comprehend it. Well, another month is done, I experienced fall, and enjoyed some season-appropriate adventures. Let’s see what I got up to!
And just like that, it was fall ๐ . I always thought of myself as a summer girl, but given that I can soak up all of the lessening hours of sunlight instead of dreamily looking at them outside my office window, I’m coming around to this season. It’s definitely more pleasant to run in, I’m enjoying the warmth of tea in my belly and a fluffy blanket on my lap when I (inevitably) read a book in one sitting. Consider me a changed woman ๐ . So, let’s see what I got up to during this first month of fall!

Let’s get into it! Continue reading “2 Years Of Early Retirement: Finances, Whatโs Changed And Whatโs Next?”
I’m writing this while watching birds chase each other around the neighborhood while gazing out at the Space Needle, Mt. Rainier, Puget Sound and downtown Seattle.

Perception is funny. I am (obviously) “me” so I know the answer to all the questions about my finances people ask me every week on Twitter or Instagram. I’ve also written about all of these topics on this very blog, but that’s over 7+ years of posts so they’re spaced out across almost decade. My bad ๐ . Well, this is an effort to put all that knowledge in one place. Continue reading “Show Me The Money: All My Financial Info & Answering Y’all’s Questions”
2022 is half over…which is strange since my brain still seems stuck in 2020. Oh well. This month we headed back to the States for the first time in several months only for the supreme court to overturn Roe v Wade and take us back 50 years…Welcome back to America I guess.
Welcome to my second International Slow Travel Review! I spent 9 weeks in Mรฉrida, Mรฉxico – by far the longest I’ve stayed abroad in my adult life and the longest I’ve stayed in one Airbnb. So let’s see how Mรฉrida measured up ๐ ! Continue reading “Slow Travel Review: Mรฉrida, Mรฉxico โ The Land Of Color & Nature”
