Hello and welcome to Wind and Whim! We’re Steve and Linda, two retirees who’ve been slowly traveling the world full-time since 2018. We created Wind and Whim to show how possible and rewarding full-time travel can be. So grab your favorite drink, get comfortable, and let’s explore the world together!

Currently in: Jacksonville, Florida

Our next adventure: Lima, Peru

Hello fellow traveler,

I’m taking a break from posting over the holidays while quietly plotting some exciting changes to the site for 2026. In January, I’ll be back with our 2025 travel costs, as I do every year because consistency is my love language.

In the meantime, feel free to explore our 100 plus posts covering everything from the practical to the inspirational. You can also book travel through this site. If you do, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. The commissions may be small, but our gratitude is enormous.

Don’t be shy. Jump into the comments section in a post and say hello. We truly love hearing from our readers. And if this site brings you value, please consider buying us a coffee. Caffeine fuels dreams and blog posts.

Wishing you all the very best in 2026,
Linda
