Officially Leaving the UK: The P85 and the End of My Tax Slavery


That’s it. The final cord is cut. Today, I’ve officially filed the P85 form and registered as leaving the UK for good. I am now a non-UK tax resident, and honestly? It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.

I’ve had enough of the UK. It’s become a hollowed-out version of itself—a place where everyone is depressed, repressed, and crushed under the weight of a tyrannical government that couldn't care less about you. Between the soaring taxes and the cost-of-living madness, I realized I had to get out while I still could.

I’ve left it all behind to live as a digital nomad and expat. I’m doing this with very little in the way of savings and no real safety net, but I’m going for it anyway. Can I actually make it as a YouTuber? Can I earn a living while traveling the world? I don’t know yet, but I’m sharing the whole raw, honest, and vulnerable truth with you every single day.

From the high-energy joys to the spiritual lows, I’m showing you what it’s really like to leave the "system" behind. My journey started in Mexico, then took me through Guatemala, El Salvador, Argentina, and Chile. Now, I’m in Bali, Indonesia, trying to build a life that actually feels worth living.

he UK is a sinking ship, and I’ve officially handed back my oars. Let’s see where this road takes us.
