There’s a world of ways to travel through retirement.

The joy is figuring out what yours could look like.

So, What Does Retirement Travel Look Like for You?

A month in one place. Moving to another country. A few months overseas each year. Selling everything and becoming a slow nomad. Finally taking that bucket-list adventure. Or mixing it all together.

Retirement gives us something we’ve rarely had before: more than just freedom to choose where we travel, freedom to choose how we travel.

At Next Stop Retirement, we’re exploring those possibilities. Discovering what works for us, sharing what we learn, and hopefully helping you think about what might work for you.

About Us

Subtitle

We’re Dean and Pauline, an Aussie couple who’ve been travelling together for more than 30 years — and as retirement gets closer, we’ve found ourselves thinking about travel in a completely different way.

We’re no longer just asking where should we go next? We’re exploring how we want to travel in this next chapter of our lives.

Next Stop Retirement is where we share the places we discover, the different ways of travelling we explore, and the lessons we learn along the way — including the times things don’t quite go according to plan.

We don’t have all the answers. But we’re having a great time asking the questions.

Where would you like to start?

What the places we visit are teaching us about how we want to travel in retirement — including the lessons we didn’t expect.

Our honest guides and trip reports from the places we’ve explored — with the practical details and the bits that surprised us.

Practical thinking for over-50 travel: how to pace a trip, what’s worth spending on, and getting more from the time you have.

The destination is the setting.

The lesson is the story.

Every place we visit teaches us something: about the kind of travellers we actually are, what matters more as the years pass, and what we want the next trip to look like. These are the lessons we’re learning on the road to retirement, and beyond.
