Why I decided to start a blog

I started this blog so that others can learn from my experiences, experience adventures with their pets and find encouragement to give back to their community.  I also want to show how traveling can be affordable (and is highly recommended) and document my road to financial independence.

I decided to write this blog for many of the reasons stated above (turned out to be a long process) but also because what gave me the confidence to believe that I could retire in ten years was reading stories of people who had already done it!  I have not done it yet, but I would like to share what I know and things that I do on my way there.  It also helped me realize what I was missing out on.  Remote work for three months in Hawaii??!  I don’t want to wait for typical retirement (age 65) to do that!  I just need to find ways to make that happen for myself sooner than later.  I don’t intend to try to become a millionaire tomorrow and I currently put many, many hours towards community service.  But everyday I want to continue down a path that is helping me have more time to experience adventures in nature, adventures with people, adventures with animals and adventures in building better communities.  Here we go!  Thanks for reading!  Please check back to see what new adventures come my way.  I hope they can inspire you to take on new adventures!
