Ed and Mai WanderFree Retirees

We’re Ed & Mai—WanderFree Retirees 🌴

We made a big life decision: retire in our early 50s… without the “perfect” amount of savings.
Instead of waiting, we sold almost everything—our home, cars, and more—to start living now.
Our first year of retirement is all about travel and family:
• Visiting family across the U.S.
• Trips to Thailand & Vietnam
• Cruising the Caribbean (2 months) & Europe (4 months)
• Back "home" for family weddings

After that, we plan to make Thailand our home base—renting, exploring, and seeing where this lifestyle takes us.
We’re living out of a suitcase and sharing it all—
✔️ Budget travel tips
✔️ Cruise port guides
✔️ Affordable places to live abroad
✔️ Real life after early retirement

We chose this path because we wanted to explore the world while we’re still young enough to enjoy it.
The long-term plan? We’ll see. Maybe back to the U.S. in our 60s… or maybe we never stop wandering.

Thanks for following along on our journey—cheers!
