Books that changed my life

Your Millennial and Expat guide to FIRE

 

Hi, I am Crista and welcome to my blog.

As you can see I live abroad and am a millennial pursuing a Ph.D. in Sweden. I have spent the majority of my life living abroad, so I am experienced in international moving.

I am planning to FIRE but in the form of mini-retirement, rather than a more traditional looking retirement.

I want you to use this site as a resource and also learn what it is like to live abroad.
