Ryan's Solo Life Abroad

Aloha! I'm Ryan, and my Mission is to help single men over 50 who want to retire early and live overseas - by sharing honest, practical, and up-to-date advice so they can design their best possible retirement life with confidence, lower stress, and greater freedom.

I just retired early at 55 to enjoy life and travel the world — not someday, right now. Documenting life as a single, solo American expat doing slow travel in retirement: real costs, real destinations, real trade-offs. No fluff, no highlight reel. Just an honest look at what early retirement actually looks like when you're living it one country at a time.

If you're dreaming about retiring abroad, ditching the 9-to-5, or wondering if slow travel is actually cheaper than staying home — you're in the right place. I share the numbers, the mistakes, and the decisions so you don't have to guess.
