I do a combo of asking for tips, recommendations from my network before leaving and research.

Then, when traveling as you are talking with locals, ask for recommendations and tips from everyone. Taxi drivers. Waiters. Housecleaning at hotel. Shop keepers etc. ask where THEY like to go to/eat at/shop at. Local spots, less touristy places, etc.

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

Hi IBM sharks 🦈

Or its just that if the IBM team is fine with it, we are selected for the project?
