This is another special pre-launch episode of Your Time To Travel, as we gear up for our official podcast premiere!
In this episode, we’re sharing the 7 biggest lessons we learned while preparing to leave behind our careers, routines, and comfort zones to slow travel the world full-time in our 50s. Originally recorded as one of our early YouTube videos, this conversation dives into the real and raw moments that shaped how we got started.
If you're dreaming of a life beyond the 9-to-5, this episode will give you a grounded, honest look at what it really takes to start a slow travel lifestyle — especially after 50.
👫 We’re Karl & Tina, a couple in our 50s traveling the world full-time with our Bernedoodle, Bennie — and building a life on our own terms, one country at a time.
🧭 What You'll Learn:
- How we planned for full-time slow travel after retirement
- The early mistakes we made (so you can avoid them!)
- Why slow travel is a mindset, not just a pace
- Emotional and practical shifts that came with this decision
- What we would do differently now — and what still holds true
