Jet Set Go

About this blog and the author:

I am a retired educator who was born, raised, and educated in Singapore before deciding to move to the United States of America at the age of 52. I married an American citizen of Argentine origin five years prior to the move. Having earned a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction at the age of 56, I decided to end my quest for post-graduation employment in the United States after a short stint as a postdoctoral scholar to pursue a more fulfilling life by embarking on unique travel adventures while time, health, and some energy are still on my side. This blog chronicles the highlights and learning points of my journey aimed at sharing lessons learned for the benefit of valued readers who are:

1. Considering options to move out of your comfort zone and live abroad
2. Thinking of or have started working on retiring before the usual retirement age(s)
3. Not so youthful anymore but seek to embark on unique adventures around the world

Everything that I share in this blog is based on my own experiences, contains additional information found through publicly accessible websites, and includes my personal opinion that is more than likely skewed by factors such as my intersected cultural standpoints, prior life experiences, personality traits, health conditions, and physical attributes. Thus, readers who have gone through similar experiences may disagree with at least some of my entries in this blog. I do welcome different and/or supplementary opinions as long as they are shared respectfully. I do not claim to be all-knowing or the holder of all truths.
