About

Being Kevin

Retirement, Reflection, and Life in Brazil

I’m Kevin. I’m retired. I live in Brazil.

And I write because retirement turned out to be quieter—and louder—than I expected.

This blog isn’t about escaping life.

It’s about finally having the time to pay attention to it.

How I Ended Up Here

Retirement created space I didn’t know how to fill at first.

Moving to Brazil added a new language, a new pace, and new questions.

This blog is where I work through those questions in public.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Reflections on retirement
  • Life as an expat in Brazil
  • Book reviews and reading habits
  • Weekly Picks
  • Writing shaped by causes I care about

What This Blog Is Not

  • Not a travel guide
  • Not financial advice
  • Not a highlight reel

If you’re looking for polish, this isn’t it.

If you’re looking for perspective, welcome.
