Looking Back at 2024: The Year That Changed Me Through Travel
As 2024 comes to a close, I’m reflecting on the incredible journeys I’ve had this year. From the breathtaking landscapes to the unforgettable connections made along the way, each experience has been a lesson in gratitude, growth, and embracing life to the fullest. Travel continues to teach me that the world is vast, our perspectives are ever-expanding, and there is so much beauty to discover-not just in new places but within ourselves. I’m beyond grateful for the opportunities I’ve had this year and the people who have shared these moments with me. Here’s to even more adventures, lessons, and blessings in 2025! Wishing you all love, light, and endless possibilities in the New Year!

      So it's very important to be prepared with substantial savings. Could you say what a potentially adequate amount might be? I'll be 54 soon. By 59 1/2, when I can access my IRA's without penalty, I would like to be completely prepared for a major change in order to actually enjoy my remaining time alive. Solitude and the beauty I find in nature contribute to my mental/emotional well-being, which is vital to the peace I crave. Thanks for responding.
