We're a couple who spent seven years as expats in Doha, Qatar, before embarking on the adventure of a lifetime: retiring in Hua Hin, Thailand. After exploring Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Thailand, we found our perfect retirement destination on the peaceful shores of the Gulf of Thailand.

From navigating visa applications and healthcare systems to finding community and building a new life in a foreign country, we're documenting every step of the journey.
