Explore the world your way, whatever your budget

Many of us put off the trip of a lifetime because life gets in the way – work deadlines, family commitments or simply never getting round to booking those flights. Retirement often provides more time and the freedom to travel, which is why it’s on so many people’s agenda when they stop working. We share the stories of people who are having the time of their lives as they explore the world in their retirement.
