OUR PLAN: THE 21 DAY CALIFORNIA TO MICHIGAN ROAD TRIP

September 21, 2017

The Roamer 2

Comments

In case you didn’t know this SoCal family is relocating to Michigan. To kick off our mini retirement The Roamers are heading off on a 21 day cross country road trip. The count down says I only have 9 days and 11 hrs until this adventure

starts.

I get asked why move to  Michigan?

Michigan.

Family? Check! Snowy Fun? Check! Happiness? Check! In Short: Family and property. Mr. Roamer & Jr’s dad are  both from Michigan and most of their families are there too. Moving to Michigan means we can re-plug ourselves into the family. As for property, California is a very prohibitive market. While we could take on a massive loan to buy a home here. We are choosing not to. In Michigan we will be able to afford property and not put ourselves in negative net-worth territory. While we aren’t the first people to move cross country. I’d like to think what we are choosing to do in the middle is a bit more unique. Instead of just jumping in to normal life all over again we decided to squeeze in a mini retirement. A 21 day road trip followed by a month in El Salvador and a month in Ecuador. The first leg of our mini-retirement will be our 3 week cross country road trip. While we could do the trip in 5 days. We are extending the trip to include some fun stops. Continue reading Our plan: The 21 day California to Michigan road trip →

least I think so.

When people find out about my trip they tend to ask me about my plans for Ecuador or El Salvador. Then when they see me again they ask me how the planning is going. I usually tell them Continue reading Mini Retirement Update: July countdown →

Also I have never experienced U.S. re-entry, I think this is a nice to have but I don’t have a negative previous experience motivating me. This is not a must, to having our trip. But I think we will be happier if we get it. Continue reading Mini Retirement Update: June and growing worries.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? OUR TRAVELS SO FAR

May 24, 2017 The

Roamer Leave a

comment

Do you know everywhere you’ve been?

I’d like to know.

When I was around 5 years old, I flew out of the US to Ecuador where my father was born. I lived there for about 2 years in a house and went to school. Though I was young, the experience is etched in my mind. It’s an important part of my identity and it ignited my desire

to travel.

As I grew up, I wanted to fly to El Salvador where my Mom was born. It would happen when I graduated high school, I told myself. Then it turned into after college and then it was just “some day”.
