I’d love to learn about traveling on a VERY limited budget for us boomers. Working as you travel, etc.
What are people’s thoughts and experiences?
Hi I just found your excellent site. I recently started blogging to chronicle our adventures as my husband and I start selling it all on e-bay and become world travelers in retirement and on a retirement budget. I am sharing our insights, experiences, aha’s and resources with other boomers who are looking for more adventure in their own Second Acts. Your blog looks like a great resource!
Thanks, Nancy! We’ll be sure to check out your blog as well!
I came across the online article on you in the Traverse City Ticker today and it’s given me hope.
I’m 33 with two kids and hope to travel someday. My husband has epilepsy and cash is tight so I wondered how on earth will I ever get to travel. Short trips are a great idea as I wouldn’t want to leave him alone for too long of a time. How cool!!! I’m so glad to have come across this…in the meantime I can study up.
Have a great day,
Keri
