A prolific writer, Chris Englert‘s ebooks, Two Carry-Ons and a Plan: Retiring as Full-time Nomads and The Nomad Life are available on Amazon for your Kindle or the Kindle app.

Retirement on a golf course in Florida? Yawn. Bingo nights? No thanks. Reruns of Gilligan’s Island? Ugh.

Retirement doesn’t have to involve you and a golf course, a bingo blotter, nor a remote control. Retirement can be full of change, excitement, and fascinating new experiences.

You can become an intrepid explorer, a globe-trotting nomad, and an endless adventurer. Eat delicious treats along the Danube, track the Monarch butterfly migration in Mexico, and wander the Scottish highlands. Take language lessons, cooking lessons, dance classes.

Explore ancient and beautiful sites, make friends from all over the world, and bask in balmy temperatures all year round. You can even take cruises, hike the world’s trails, and sleep in castles.

And you can do it without breaking the bank.

This book tells you how with a little love story thrown in.
