It’s hard to believe, but I’ve been sharing our adventures on YouTube for 13 years now! In today’s video, I’m taking a solo walk through the beautiful Penistone countryside to share a significant life update: I officially retired at 58.
I also wanted to take a moment to reflect on this 13-year journey, share some honest thoughts on how things have changed, and yes—have a bit of a "rant" about some things on my mind!
In this video, I talk about:
The reality of retiring at 58 and what’s next for the channel.
My reflections on 13 years of vlogging and meeting so many of you.
A few honest thoughts (the "rant") about my recent experiences.
Thank you all for being part of this incredible journey with Karen and me. Your support over the last decade plus has meant the world to us!
If you’ve been with us for a while, or you're just joining the journey, please give this video a LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to Andrew & Karen's Travels for more honest vlogs and travel adventures!
