About Me
From Firefighter to Flight Attendant
From battling blazes to soaring through the skies, my journey as the Retired Traveler is anything but ordinary. Welcome aboard!
After 22 years of serving as a firefighter with the Houston Fire Department, I traded in my helmet for wings, becoming a flight attendant for a major US airline. But my passion for exploration didn't stop there – it ignited RetiredTraveler.world, where I share my adventures and insights with fellow wanderlusters.
Here at RetiredTraveler.world, you'll find:
- In-depth guides to hidden gems and underrated European cities
- Personal stories and tips from my globetrotting adventures
- A curated collection of travel-inspired merchandise
- Honest insights on transitioning to a travel-focused lifestyle
As a Black male traveler, I bring a unique perspective to the world of travel blogging. From the bustling streets of London to the historic wonders of Athens, I share authentic experiences that go beyond the typical tourist spots. My goal? To inspire and guide others who dream of exploring the world, while showing that it's never too late to chase your passions.
Beyond the stamps in my passport, I'm on a journey of personal growth – striving to be a better husband, achieve financial freedom, and rediscover the discipline to prioritize my health. I believe in the power of pure hearts, the joy of exploration, and the importance of balancing adventure with family time.
When I'm not crossing time zones or writing about my latest adventures, you'll find me spending quality time with family, listening to music, or planning my next destination. Every day brings a new opportunity to learn, grow, and share these experiences with you.
