Visited seven countries outside the US and seven US states.
Kept adjusting food, travel and daily routines to balance enjoyment with feeling well.
How it felt
Was struck by having retired for longer than her longest job had lasted. “retired longer than I held my longest job?”
Remained enthusiastic about the life she was building and another year of exploration. “Time is flying and I’m celebrating completing Year 4 of my early retirement!”
She filled retirement with RV travel, hiking, family events and daily walks, while still maintaining a home.
