They Gave Up the ‘Traditional’ Retirement to Live the Life They Always Wanted: The Retirement Travelers

Redefining retirement with purpose and adventureJohn and Bev retired at 55, sold almost everything, and traded their dream home for two backpacks, golf clubs, and a life of full-time travel. Since then, they have visited 107 countries and all 50 states as “The Retirement Travelers.”Their journey began during COVID, when cancelled plans led to an Airstream trip across America’s national parks. Living in 220 square feet showed them how little they truly needed—freeing them to downsize, travel, and focus on experiences over possessions.With Bev’s MS diagnosis adding urgency, they embraced their “go-go years” while working closely with financial planners to ensure their plan supported their lifestyle.
