Start here

Welcome to intristang (which is both this site and…me)! Thank you for following directions and starting here! If you didn’t, that’s okay, too–following directions isn’t really the vibe here šŸ˜‰

I truly believe fate brought you here today (either that, or you got tired of me asking you to check my blog out).

This blog–and intristang, in general–is about choosing the life you want. For me, that was walking away from the corporate, 9-5 world (though I do miss the free lunches). At first, my goal was to save enough money to be able to kbye and do nothing. But, I realised there were two things I wanted to do: 1) highlight an alternative lifestyle to the typical 40-hour workweek till you’re 65, so that people could see a different option (and how to do it, too); and 2) share my adventures as I travel around the world so that people might be inspired to try an alternative path (and so my friends will visit me šŸ¤žšŸ½).

Here I plan to post 2-3 articles a week across three broad categories: financial freedom, travel & food, and/or random thoughts and musings. I want to share my learnings on how you can become financially independent sooner and what Iā€™m using my freedom for (spoiler alert: mostly food and flights).
