Contemplating a Move to Southern Europe
Life has a way of surprising us, and mine took a significant turn when I moved to Canada. Now, once again, change is in the air, and this time, it could lead me to the sun-drenched landscapes of southern Europe. While I haven’t yet made a final decision, I feel that fate is quietly nudging me in a new direction. The more I think about it, the more I find myself drawn to the idea of making this beautiful region my home for the years to come.
Canada has been a wonderful place to live, and I’m grateful for the experiences it’s given me. However, North America’s rapid pace of modernization no longer aligns with the vision I have for my future. I’m yearning for a slower, more authentic lifestyle—one where the pace of life matches my desire for simplicity, community, and connection with nature. And in this corner of southern Europe, I think I’ve found what I’ve been searching for.
Embracing Semi-Retirement as a Web Designer
One of the greatest advantages of being a web designer, is the ability to work from anywhere in the world. If I had chosen a different career, I might have been confined to a single location—likely Vancouver, a city that offers a lot but can sometimes feel limiting in its own way. The beauty of a career in design is that it allows me the freedom to explore new places and embrace new experiences, wherever I might go.
This freedom has led me to a stunning region in southern Europe, where I’ve been welcomed with open arms by warm locals, exceptional cuisine, and an affordable way of life. It’s a place that feels like a hidden gem—a perfect balance of modern comforts and timeless charm. As we consider this next chapter, I realize that embracing change and living boldly are essential for a fulfilling life. After all, this is the same spirit that led me to make bold moves in the past.
Over the next few months, I’ll be sharing more about this exciting possibility and the enchanting place that has captured my heart. While my move isn’t yet finalized, I’m eager to explore what lies ahead. I hope you’ll join me on this journey and follow along as I uncover what could very well be the start of a new life in the Mediterranean sun.
Thank you for your interest, and stay tuned for updates!
