We are Warren and Julie; we are early retirement slow travelers with a wanderlust for seeing the world. In 2016, we bought our first place in Kotor Old Town, Montenegro. As of 2024, Warren has visited 47 countries, and Julie 45, our dogs Katie and Arya have been to 27 countries. We transitioned to a permanent life of slow travel retirement in March of 2020. Our goal is to spend quality time in the countries we travel to spending a month or more at a location, while also taking side trips and experiencing adventures along the way. We really want to feel the culture, know the people, and examine the cost of living, while also doing the typical tourist attractions. We are traveling with our two dogs, which adds a layer of complications at times. You are invited to join our slow travel roving early retirement journey.
