# Seeking Advice on My Long-Term ETF Portfolio as a Globe-Trotter

I’m **25 years old**, planning to invest from age 25 until around age 60–65 (a 35–40 year horizon). I’m based in Europe right now but I’m a **VERY nomadic investor**, moving around the world soon so I need something simple, diversified, and easy to manage from anywhere.
