I moved to Thailand for a slower life. Over a year into retirement, I missed having a purpose.

I grew up in Orange County, Southern California, and started my career in restaurants before getting into software. Over the years, I worked in many different fields, from construction and real estate to sales and marketing.

I moved to Atlanta in 1990 and lived there for most of the next 30 years.

About a decade ago, a friend invited me to Thailand for a couple of weeks.

I liked the place so much that I stayed for three months. After that, I began splitting my time between Thailand and the US.

Do you have any regrets about a move abroad? We want to hear from you.
