Hi, we’re Darren and Jolene.

After saving and investing over 20 years, we were able to leave our corporate careers in our late 40s. Here, we share our journey of adventure in carving out a satisfying, adventurous lifestyle through creativity and conscious living.

Follow along as we explore the world on foot and discover the beauty of thru-hiking in early retirement. Join us on epic adventures and make the most of your retirement years.

 

We are DIY investors, using data-driven strategies to fund our semi-nomadic life, including utilizing low-cost index funds. We are reconsidering the 4% “rule of thumb” withdrawal methodology that we had been following since leaving paid employment in 2020/2021.
