A Different Side to Our Slow Travel, Early Retirement Lifestyle
We took early retirement a few years ago so that we can slow travel around the world, spend more time with our families, and take on projects that matter to us. We're back in our home base of British Columbia for the summer, where we volunteer as emergency management responders. This is why we choose to return to our home base each year to volunteer instead of traveling the world full-time.

We see a lot of questions about how to get started slow traveling. And there isn't a single answer that will work for everyone. It really depends on your goals, income, and desired lifestyle. What is slow travel? To us, it means staying in the places we visit for at least a few weeks, and usually a month or longer before moving on to the next place.

    It makes sense to keep your permanent address. It will make more sense when you are given a Digital ID and CBDC's will be all any of us will have. WHO can stop our travels now that 192 countries voted that WHO is the exclusive dictator of what vaccines we must take or we won't be allowed to travel. Great advice and a good mix of your personal desires. BRAVO.

    Is the street crime still ridiculously common? I spent a month there in 2010 and never wanted to go back, despite all the wonderful qualities of the city, simply because everyone I knew was pickpocketed, held at gunpoint, robbed, et.al. in that four weeks. Motorobos snatched purses, watches off wrists, or wallets. And I lived in a posh apartment.

    I ve been in Salta only 2 weeks, what i have learned so far is to use my uk debit card whenever i can rather than take money from an ATM, there is a very low maximum limit from ATM with a high bank fee usually max 40,000 peso limit in one transaction with just over 9000p fee. Some places add a small fee for using a card but alot dont. If you need 200,000p the machine will cost you 5 x 9000 extra as fees.
