About

FIRE movement, simple living, some cooking, gym & coding. Hi, I'm Andrew. This channel is an artistic outlet for me to document my FIRE and simple living journey. I quit my day job after a complete burn-out in 2021, and I've been on a healing journey ever since. Currently pursuing a simple life, learning to appreciate the simpler things and seek inner peace in this chaotic world. At the end of the day, I'm just another millennial trying to figure it out. If this is something you're interested in, subscribe and follow along on my journey!
