About this listen
Two Suitcases: A Traveling Retirement recounts how the authors retired, downsized, and set off to see the world. They view retirement as two stages, with travel leading the first, and home life anchoring the second. The first stage is downsizing and going to see as much of the world as possible. Striking out to California, then internationally, each chapter shares how they make a traveling retirement work, combining the details of budgeting, travel planning, and what life is like in a completely new setting.
A chapter is devoted to how Airbnb and similar platforms work and how to read between the lines of listings to find the right rental. They describe the ups and downs of driving in other countries, driving on the left, and driving in major cities. It may make you want to take a taxi! Shopping, cooking, and the pleasures of staying in one place for an extended period are punctuated with being invited for tea at an estate in Scotland and watching cassowaries in Australia. Staying in most destinations for a month results in chance meetings, casual advice, and new friends. The final chapters include experiences taking tours, and some of the “hiccups” of travel.
