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

The joy is figuring out what yours could look like.

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?

Is it about a month in one place, moving to another country, a few months overseas each year, selling everything and becoming a slow nomad, maybe finally taking that bucket-list adventure. Or mixing it all together?

Retirement gives us all 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

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.

Some destinations deserve more than a few days. Whether it's the food, the atmosphere, the scenery or simply the pleasure of exploring without rushing, certain places make you wish you'd stayed longer.

We're sharing 11 places we've visited that we think are worth giving extra time, from Paris and Hoi An to Mexico, Spain, Vietnam and beyond.

Plus, three destinations we're considering for future trips that look perfect for a longer stay. And we're always looking for new ideas if you have a suggestion.

11 Places That Deserve More Than a Quick Visit

Planning a trip is exciting until you have to decide which amazing places to leave out! We're planning our next adventure through the Balkans, and every time I remove a destination from our itinerary, I wonder if I've just crossed off somewhere we'd absolutely love.

How do you narrow down your travel plans without worrying about what you're missing? I'd love to hear how you make those decisions.

The Hardest Part of Planning a Trip Is Deciding What To Leave Out

What does two weeks in Hoi An, Vietnam really cost for a couple?

We spent 14 nights enjoying comfortable accommodation, wonderful food, local experiences and a few extra treats. In this video, we share our actual costs, from a $590 hotel stay to restaurants, day trips, transport and Pauline's shopping and spa experiences.

Our comfortable stay could have cost just AUD $1,330 for two, while our total with extras came to AUD $1,860.

And we'll show you what those prices actually bought us, and why we'd happily return.
