This video is about the 15 most important lessons we’ve learned from our life of full-time world travel in retirement.
Retirement travel brings an unparalleled sense of joy and liberation. After years of hard work and dedication, individuals finally have the freedom to explore the world without the constraints of limited vacation time or work-related responsibilities and retire happy. This newfound flexibility allows retirees to embark on adventures, discover new cultures, and create unforgettable memories.
One of the greatest joys of retirement travel is the ability to immerse oneself in different landscapes and experience the beauty of diverse destinations. From tranquil beaches to majestic mountains, retirees can witness the wonders of nature and appreciate the stunning vistas that may have eluded them during their working years. Whether it’s gazing at the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon, marveling at the architectural masterpieces of Europe, or exploring the ancient ruins of Greece, retirement travel provides an opportunity to connect with the world’s most remarkable sights and revel in their splendor.
Retirement travel also offers the chance to engage with various cultures and broaden one’s horizons. Retirees can delve into the local customs, traditions, and cuisine of different countries, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of global diversity. From savoring delectable street food in bustling Asian markets to participating in traditional festivals in remote villages, retirement travelers have the privilege of immersing themselves in unique cultural experiences that enrich their lives in profound ways.
Moreover, retirement travel presents an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery. It allows individuals to step out of their comfort zones, challenge themselves, and try new things. Whether it’s learning a new language, taking up a new hobby, or engaging in adventure sports, retirees can embrace their sense of adventure and push their boundaries. This sense of exploration and personal development brings immense joy, as retirees discover hidden talents, gain confidence, and find fulfillment in pursuing new passions.
In conclusion, retirement travel is a source of immense joy, enabling individuals to explore the world, connect with diverse cultures, and embark on personal journeys of growth and self-discovery. It offers the freedom to indulge in long-desired travel experiences, fostering a deep appreciation for the world’s natural wonders and cultural riches. Retirement travelers are privileged to savor the joys of retirement while creating lasting memories that will continue to inspire and enrich their lives for years to come.
▶️ We started our channel to inspire and share our world travel lifestyle, adventures, and optimistic outlook on life with others. After completing a two-year journey in our Airstream to see all 50 states and 51 National Parks, we left to travel abroad. We have downsized our possessions and sold our home so that we can wander about with only the things in our backpacks.
We love living on the road, traveling each week to a new location. We plan to travel extensively to every part of the world. Ours is not a slow travel lifestyle but rather a vagabondish one. The goal is not to check a country off a list, but to experience it by meeting new people, seeing how others live, and making new friends. We believe in laughing, loving, and living our lives to the fullest.
We are working hard to build a beautiful website where you can get travel information about the places we have been. In addition, we post blog articles to help you travel better. Our channel is a way of augmenting that effort, so sometimes we post videos about how to travel or a vlog showing our lives on the road as we do an activity or an adventure. We also post Shorts, so check those out, too. We hope to entertain you, but most importantly, we want to inspire you and give you the confidence to plan your own adventure around the world.

Which credit card do you use?
Just discovered you guys! Great videos. We are rethinking our own retirement after watching your story. What an adventure.
Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom. My family and I enjoy travel. We drive one route to a destination and another route home… two trips in one.
Have you been to Malta?
Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks. I completely agree about getting different perspectives. When we were in Iceland we took public transportation some. One time we were on the wrong bus and got lost. Once we figured that out we got off, didn't panic and discussed our different options for getting back to Reykjavik. On that same trip to Iceland we took the bus tour along the South Shore. We learned a lot about the area from the guide that we certainly would have missed had we rented a car and drove ourselves. Safe travels!!
I love these tips! I'm about 6 years away from retirement and have been dreaming of relocating to some somewhere in SE Asia and just traveling all around the region for 5+ years, exploring Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, China, South Korea, etc. When I told my wife about this dream she said, "I'm gonna miss you!"🤣 Thanks for the great vlogs and tips videos, they're very helpful!
Just to be sure that I understood this correctly. You mentioned that it is possible to take a cruise from the US to Europe without having to make a commitment of how/when to return to the US (i.e. a one way cruise that might be less than flying business class). Did I understand that correctly? Do you have a cruise provider suggestion?
Love your videos and attitude to travel & life. What adventures you have done. I'm curious, may I ask…if you have adult kids & grandkids how are they with you travelling the world and not seeing them often? We live in Australia and have adult kids in 2 different states, 10 hrs drive between Sydney & Melbourne…I'm keen to live somewhere else but finding it hard to leave the daughter here in Melbourne. I know they want us to be happy and to enjoy retirement. Do you go back to visit the family annually? Thankyou.
You two ARE stinkin’ cute 😊Can you give some pointers on the travel/ health/ life insurance you have for your travel lifestyle? Thank you and take care!
Discovered your channel awhile ago and love all the information! I would to visit all the National parks one day. If you had to choose your top 3 what would they be?
Great video! Now, you need to make a video of actually planning one of your upcoming adventures so we have a tutorial to use when planning our own.
Another great video you two. I am getting excited for my upcoming trip this fall. We booked a repositioning cruise Barcelona to US, and then planned our trip backwards through Europe from there. Italy holds a special place in our hearts from our honeymoon trip, so we start there. Milan seems to always have the cheapest flights so we fly in there and then use trains, busses, and subways to get around Europe. We are even trying a sleeper car on a train this time. By the way, were you able to get tickets in advance to see the last supper. We are in Milan overnight and we were hoping to see it before we head out of the area.
Don't forget the environmental impact of all this travel, the planet is suffering because of it. Cruise ships are horrible to the environment and to the communities they visit. Google it. It's not all about us and our pleasure, be aware of the negatives. Travel slow, try not to fly much, don't buy throw away plastic drinks, locals can't process this stuff. It gets thrown out. I have traveled a lot and I started getting upset at all the garbage travelers created, unaware of their impacts.
Liked the video. I did the same as you. I have traveled to most of the national parks in my travel trailer and am now traveling internationally. I un-retired a couple of years ago and teach high school. But as soon as school is out, I'm on a trip. Last summer seven + weeks in Spain and Portugal. This summer, two months in Italy. I enjoy the life balance of having a job with a purpose, and lots of time to travel…and with a paycheck 👍.
We are 3 days away from walking away with 2 backpacks (the same as yours but a different colour). We've sold everything, and we are travelling the world on your advise. Hopefully, it works out. 😍
i really enjoy your videos and this one especially resonated. My husband and I are both Military and we both plan to be retired by our mid 50s- I almost feel we are running out of time , but then I see the videos you post and how vibrant you are and it is so inspiring!
I saw you guys at great wolf lodge like maybe 1 or 2 weeks ago!!
Great advice!
– Be aware of time changes even on a cruise ship met a couple who missed a tour because of that!
– Global Entry even available to non Americans (like me) I got through Atlanta Air port hours ahead of my US friends
Excellent tips! Love the Clock is Ticking, very true!! We love watching your adventures! ~Cara 😊
Another great video!! Thanks for all the great tips!!
>>>I'm absolutely astounded at how I moved from leading a typical life to earning over 63k each month. It's astounding. Although I've learned a lot over the past few years to question it, the financial markets are ripe with chances. Knowing where to concentrate is essential. sincerely grateful THE MARCEL BENJAMIN COOPER….
