About Us

Our mission is to share our early-retired, full-time, traveling nomad lifestyle with you to inspire you to launch your nomad life.

Avid adventurers. Global circumnavigators. Early retired. Full-time nomadic travelers.

We’re Chris and Steve. We’ve sold it all, retired from Corporate America, packed our two carry-ons, and fled out into the world in May 2021. We’ve been full-time traveling ever since as nomads.

We love to share hiking, housesitting and vegan-eating tips, while embracing our full-time traveling nomadic lifestyle. Together, we’ve visited over 62 countries and all 50 states and want to share tips with you about how to get out there and do the same.

Our annual budget is ~$50,000 to travel the world full-time. The secret to our affordable lifestyle is through strategic accommodations via housesitting and Airbnb stays. We throw in travel hacking to make things interesting and repositioning cruises to get from continent to continent.

The Walking Traveler

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.

Buy today so you can start planning your getaway right now!

As the Walking Traveler, Chris has released an ebook. Available on Kindle only (you can download the free app if you don’t have a Kindle.)
