I’m Kelly Benthall, a travel and lifestyle writer covering early retirement, slow travel, and second acts. My essays in Business Insider — including one read by over 1 million people — explore how reinvention unfolds on the road. My story has also been featured in Travel + Leisure, and I write regularly on my Substack, Benthall Adventures. I draw on my background in corporate consulting and my own experience leaving that life behind to craft stories that connect personal reinvention with cultural insight.
