Welcome to Paul’s Retirement Travelogue
Many people dream about traveling in retirement. That’s when we have the time and the freedom to explore the world.
Personally I’ve had the travel bug for years, and have been fortunate enough to enjoy all sorts of amazing adventures. Riding in a hot air balloon. Swimming with dolphins. Golfing alongside kangaroos. Sipping volcanic wine on a remote island.
I’ve journeyed from the Great Barrier Reef to the Cliffs of Moher . . . Hong Kong to Haleakala . . . the Algarve to the Alhambra . . . and extensively throughout Italy from Lake Como to Sicily.
I’m so grateful for these experiences. I never imagined I’d be so blessed.
With this travelogue I hope to share some of my most memorable trips – in hopes of inspiring you and maybe giving you some ideas for your bucket list.
And when you go – I’d love to hear about your retirement adventures. Send me your pics!
Happy Travels,
Paul
Italy
From truffle hunting in Norcia to the Palio horserace in Siena to the boot of Italy and the Adriatic Sea.
Colombia
Charming Old Town Cartagena… a tropical retreat called Las Islas… the City of Eternal Spring… and a giant rock with 750 steps.
The Algarve, Portugal
Friendly towns… breathtaking coastlines… craggy cliffs… stunning beaches… and a final stop in cosmopolitan Lisbon.
Vancouver
Biking in Stanley Park, tree-hiking in Capilano River Park, flower gardens in Queen Elizabeth Park & a scary suspension bridge.
Sicily
Welcomed by the mayor in Cammarata, experiencing ancient history in Agrigento, living on a Sicilian far – and more.
Normandy, France
The beaches of Normandy and the American cemetery are so moving… Mont-Saint-Michel is a real-life Brigadoon!
