Budget Slow Travel in Retirement: How 170,000 Members Retire Young and Travel Smart

Genre: Travel — Budget Travel, Senior Travel, Retirement Planning (Personal Finance)
You don't have to sell your home or become an expat to live internationally for months at a time.
Most retirees want more than two weeks abroad each year. What stops them isn't desire — it's cost, healthcare, visas, banking, and the fear of losing their support system. This book shows how to turn extended international travel into a sustainable lifestyle, often for less than the cost of staying home.
This is not one person's travel memoir. It's the collective operating manual of a 170,000-member budget slow travel community that has been testing these systems for nearly a decade.
In eight years, Lidia and Jeff have traveled in nearly 100 countries, completed 51 home exchanges across 14 countries, and taken more than 30 repositioning cruises. A doctor visit in Mexico cost 30 pesos. A cardiac emergency in Spain generated a $160,000 bill that was covered in full. A 22-day transatlantic crossing cost less than the flight would have.
Inside you'll learn how to:
* Identify your travel archetype — Full-Timer, Hybrid, Snowbird, or Deep Diver — before you pick a country
* Build a three-card banking system that works anywhere in the world
* Use points strategically to fund long-haul flights
* Eliminate hotel costs with a repeatable home-exchange method (51 exchanges, zero hotel nights)
* Cross oceans for less than the price of a flight using repositioning cruises
* Navigate healthcare, insurance, and medical emergencies abroad with confidence
* Handle visas, taxes, eSIMs, and packing — the unglamorous logistics that make the dream work
A retired CPA's practical playbook for affordable, community-tested slow travel in retirement.
Whether you're five years from retirement or five months in, this is the plan for a retirement that looks like the world instead of a brochure.
