Who are we?

We're part-time expats sharing our adventures traveling throughout Europe. We're also recent empty-nesters figuring out what's next. This is the story of how we got here and how it's going. We're sharing what we learn here, with resources, advice, and insights into midlife travel and life transitions. More about us.

We just started documenting this journey in September 2023, so stay tuned. We invite you to subscribe to our newsletter and YouTube channel and join in on the journey.

Our latest video

Downsizing the footprint of your home can be a great idea for people when your living needs change, but how much downsizing is too much. We went a bit too far, and are now looking to upsize a bit - to "right size".  This video describes some of the issues that we encountered when downsizing too much, and how we plan to address them in our new home search. It also identifies some of the typical issues reported by people who downsized too much. Maybe these issues can help you succeed when adjusting your living arrangements.
