Creator's Key Takeaways
we left solid careers in order to retire early but we did it for the best reason possible at least I hope we did to travel the world
we don't want to be stuck in a place for so long that we hate
we want to do things that are most physically demanding earlier and now so we don't have to worry about trying to do things as we age
we balance the kinds of trips we take in this single year so for example they won't all be Beach trips or they won't all be Big City Cultural Adventures
