I've Lived in the Destinations I Write About
I'm Mary R. Johnson — an American woman in my mid-60s who sold nearly everything, moved to Southeast Asia, and has been living the slow travel life ever since. I've spent time in Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia — not as a tourist, but as a resident.
The Know Before You Go Report exists because I couldn't find anything like it when I was planning my own move. Most travel content is written for younger, faster travelers. Mine is written specifically for adults 50+ who need to know about healthcare, safety, affordability, and community — not just where to eat.
Common Questions
Everything You Need to Know
How long does it take to receive my report?
Your report is delivered as a PDF within 5–7 business days of your 30-minute clarity call. The call happens first so the research is tailored to your specific situation.
What destinations do you cover?
Currently Southeast Asia — specifically Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia. These are destinations I've lived in personally, which means the research goes well beyond what any blog or travel site can offer.
Can I request a report for more than one destination?
Yes — each destination is researched and priced separately at $197 per location. Many clients order one report first, then return for a second once they've narrowed their decision.
What format is the report delivered in?
A professionally formatted PDF, 12–15 pages, delivered by email. It's designed to be easy to read on a tablet, laptop, or printed out.
What happens after I receive my report?
One round of follow-up Q&A by email is included at no extra charge. If you'd like a deeper conversation about next steps, a Slow Start Strategy Session is available separately.
Is this right for me if I'm still just exploring?
If you haven't settled on a destination yet, the free Moving Abroad Checklist is a better starting point. The Know Before You Go Report is designed for people who've identified a destination and want serious, personalized research done before committing.
