MY STORY
Let me introduce myself! I’m Chris, an American who decided that I couldn’t wait until the typical retirement age to break free of corporate life. So, in 2013 I jumped ship and bought a one-way ticket to Thailand to experience freedom a bit sooner. You can learn more about me, what I used to do before I became an expat in Thailand, and what my plans are for my life abroad.
