Lol. I'll admit I create a lot of systems. It's Is the execution part that's the toughest part.

@Lary Neron Absolutely.

@Lary Neron I am in the process to working this out in my head. I am finding that simply saying I want the flexibility to travel anywhere in the world on my terms does bring overwhelm. Where do I go first? When do I decide I've stayed long enough?, where do I go after the first choice? How do I choose the various places? I love AI and this has helped. I put in my ideas for what I want and it spits out prime areas. Some of the things I have put in 80-90 degrees most if not year round, lower crime rates, friendly to Americans, Can live on $3k or less per year, access to modern cellular and wi-fi, I love to dance so places that have a lively dance scene is important to me. These are just a few. So far there are many great locals that are have been named primarily in Mexico, Bahamas, and the Caribbean. It seems that the places that meet my criteria are practically in my backyard so to speak.

To make the transition being sure I have a solid income source that is not location specific is my major concern. I haven't solved this yet but when I do I believe that's all I need to take the plunge.. scary or not.

I really resonate with this. I think a lot of us live in that middle space more than we admit. Not blowing up our lives, not standing still either. Just trying to move forward without creating chaos. Big change is often framed as this dramatic all-or-nothing moment, and honestly that framing can make perfectly reasonable goals feel impossible. When the only option sounds like quit everything, sell everything, or fully commit, it’s no wonder people freeze. I've done this soo many times! What’s helped me is realizing that the gap feels so big because we imagine it as one giant move. I am ADHD and I see things as one big thing and often this paralysis me. When I break it into smaller, reversible steps, everything shifts. My body relaxes. The decision feels safer. Action feels possible. I’m living this right now. I’m not quitting my job tomorrow or selling all my stuff. I’m working on systems, testing workflows, asking for small changes, and seeing what’s actually possible before forcing a leap. Those small experiments give me real information and build trust with myself. That trust matters. Once it’s there, momentum shows up without needing pressure or drama. This post is a good reminder that you don’t have to jerk your life around to move it in a new direction. Sometimes the bravest move is the smallest one you’re willing to try. For me, that one step right now is building a solid workflow that supports more freedom later.

@Lary Neron LOL I love experiments. That would definitely help me not to put too much thought into getting started. To me experiment means low pressure. You have a hypothesis and then you are basically just researching as to whether it's true or not. All the data either supports it or it has you reworking your hypothesis.

@Andrew Cairns Hello Andrew, San Antonio here. It's good to see a fellow Texan!!

@Lary Neron Travel where I want and when I want. Stay if I want to explore a place more thoroughly.
