We are a pair of British Expats that decided to retire in our early 50’s to travel the world full time. In 2004 we left Leicester in England to live in Davenport Florida and set up a Flower Shop. We brought our 2 Rottweilers along for the ride and they had a great life in the sun. Through all of the trials and tribulations that involves (Recession, COVID, Hurricanes, Inflation and everything else) in 2023 we sold that flower shop, our house and our car to become nomadic. We sold everything we own aside from some items in our storage unit mainly photos and a few keepsakes. We made the decision to be carry on only so while we do swap out our clothes dependent on the season and where we are going we travel light. In April 2024 we set off with 10 million credit card points and the money we had saved to become Global Nomads. We plan to use the credit card points to travel until they run out and will then start to spend our money on accommodation. So in the first 2 years or longer we will primarily be in Hiltons, Hyatt’s, IHG and Marriotts as we have Hotel status with all 4. We are not budget travelers and will fly first class if it is affordable or we can get it for points. We will take cruises to help us go from a to b or geoarbitrage as it is now called and because we want great deals with special experiences plan 18-24 months out. We then fill in the gaps as we get nearer to the time. We love Formula 1 so will be at races if they match our dates and plans. Life is short, we intend to see everything we can while we are young….ish https://www.facebook.com/GlobalNomads93/ https://www.instagram.com/globalnomads93?igsh=emg1ZzkybnJyOXZv Email: globalnomads93@gmail.com
