Retirement Adventure Awaits

The Great Retirement Escape is filled with wonderful tips on creating tailored retirement journeys of travel and pastimes. The advice I particularly loved listening to was about was to develop individual retirement blueprints to accommodate travel and interests. This is a beautifully inexpensive travel solution, and strategies to get senior discounts to extend farther, meaning travel adventures to everyone. And outdoorsy topics such as backpacking and kayak camping are not ignored, even suggesting activities based on fitness. The guidance for wellness is equally useful, stimulating both mind and body. This audiobook is perfect for anyone looking to make the most of their golden years.
