388 Days

Hi! We’re Stephanie and Chris 👋

We’re a couple who retired early to travel the world and spend more time with the people who matter most.

After years of investing, frugal living, and careful planning, we reached financial independence and set a retirement date that changed everything — 388 days into the future. That number became a powerful symbol of our transition from work and home ownership to full-time travel, and it’s how 388 Days was born.

On this channel, we document life after early retirement as we travel through Europe, Southeast Asia, and beyond, sharing:

○ Thoughtful travel experiences

○ Local history and culture

○ Regional food (with a strong emphasis on food 🍜🥐)

○ What slow, intentional travel really looks like

If you’re curious about early retirement, long-term travel, or exploring the world at a more human pace, you’re in the right place. Thanks for joining us on the journey.
