How a Slow Travel Trial Run Changed Our Entire Retirement Plan

Thinking about slow travel in retirement? We were too. In fact, we were so sure it would be perfect for us that we almost based our entire retirement lifestyle around it — month-long stays, settling into one place at a time, living like temporary locals.

So we decided to test it before retirement… and thank goodness we did.
Because what we discovered surprised us and completely reshaped our future plans.

In this video, we share what actually happened during our slow travel trial run, what worked, what didn’t, and why testing your travel style early can save you a whole lot of money — and a whole lot of frustration — once you stop working.
