Hey! I’m Devan, born and raised in Long Beach, California 33 years old  — and this September, I’m trading in routines and responsibilities for fun and boarding passes.

After years of living the “supposed” life — steady job, daily grind, checking all the boxes — I realized something was missing. So I made the decision to retire early, let go, and go for what I’ve always wanted: freedom, and a life on my own terms.

This blog is where I’ll document the journey as it unfolds — the preparations, the leap, and everything that comes after. Whether you’re dreaming of doing the same or just curious of what happens when someone really does drop everything to travel the world, you’re in the right place.

I don’t have all the answers yet — but I do have a one-way ticket, a lot of curiosity, and a deep belief that life is too short to play it safe.

Let’s see what happens.
