Jubilación.

That’s how many Spaniards refer to retirement, and it neatly describes my intentions —of slow travel, purposeful family time, overdue personal improvement, and novel opportunities.

I’ll add bittersweet as a modifier, acutely aware of the inevitable chasm from cutting the professional ties that have significantly defined me, yet eager for a change in perspective, for reinvention, for the inherent beauty of the unknown.

Now comes the open road; I’ll be a nomad for the next few years. Wave to me if you like!
