Tell Me About This Q Guy?

In short, Q is a divorced, 52-year-old father of one grown kid, who should probably know better by now. Born in the frozen wasteland of northern Michigan where snowdrifts eat cars for breakfast, he spent the last fifteen years in Nashville pretending to be a responsible adult. Against all odds, he pulled it off, mortgage, career, the whole package. Then came the boredom. Turns out “responsible adult” is a hell of a dull gig.

With a buddy in Germany egging him on, he aimed for Munich, only to have the German government politely tell him he was too old for their party. Wrong answer. Instead of sulking, he pivoted south to Montevideo, Uruguay, where the visa office actually opened the door and the winters don’t try to kill you.

Now he’s working the ten-year stretch between today and full retirement, living lean in a country where nothing feels familiar, not the language, not the food, not the culture. It’s equal parts survival, comedy, and discovery.

Call it an adult adventure, a midlife meltdown, or a one-man reality show with no filters, no fluff, and zero bullshit.

Some people say it’s reckless.

Some say it’s inspiring.

He just calls it a "did it or damn it" life.
