About Us

losingsightofshore: As long as Ted and Judy have been together, they have traveled. Ted has a fearless sense of adventure and Judy loves all people. On their first trip to Mexico, they hopped on a chicken bus and headed to the small Pacific fishing village of San Blas, where they spent a week exploring the beaches and jungles and meeting the wonderful people. That was just the beginning. Their honeymoon was spent backpacking around Europe for three months. During 48 years of marriage, they have traveled separately and together, but always with an insatiable thirst to meet people and see new sights. With Ted's retirement at the end of 2016, they began another journey, selling all of their possessions and adopting a nomadic lifestyle. In this blog, they share the ups and downs of this crazy form of retirement as well as the lessons they are learning on what has become for them a pilgrimage.
