I’m Steve, freedom-loving retired from a career in technology and who has swapped the conventional retirement script for full-time life on the road in my motorhome.

Born in 1957, I now live untethered; winters chasing the sun along the coasts of Spain and Portugal, summers weaving through France, Germany, and on to Sweden. No fixed address, no utility bills, just open roads, new horizons every morning, and the quiet thrill of being exactly where I choose to be.

What truly lights me up these days is artificial intelligence. Between campsite coffees and long motorway miles, I’m endlessly curious about where this technology is taking us. The promise, the risks, the sheer wonder of it all. I read, experiment, debate (often with myself out loud!), and share what I discover along the way on my YouTube channel @SteveCounsellUK and right here on this site.

Retirement, for me, isn’t about slowing down. It’s about living deliberately, staying sharp, and riding the front edge of the most transformative wave of our lifetime.

Pull up a chair (or a camping stool), grab a brew, and join me on the journey – both across Europe and into the future we’re all building together.
