| 10/17/26 | What travelling in my 60's has taught me! 7 HONEST lessons! | Travelling in my 60s is teaching me more than the history of the places I visit. It’s helping me understand my energy, my priorities, and what makes an experience worthwhile.In this video, I share seven honest lessons about travelling after 60—from considering demanding journeys while they’re manageable to choosing comfort, asking for help, and deciding what I’m willing to miss.I also talk about changing plans when they no longer work, leaving time for the people we meet, and bringing something useful home into everyday retirement.Getting older doesn’t affect everyone in the same way. But thinking carefully about our health, mobility, budget, and interests can help us plan experiences we’ll actually enjoy.Whether you love overseas travel or prefer exploring closer to home, these lessons reach beyond the itinerary.What has travelling as you’ve grown older taught you? Have you changed your pace, your priorities, or the way you plan? Share your experience in the comments.I’m Maureen with Life Starts at Retirement, where we talk about making your retirement remarkable.Subscribe for thoughtful conversations about retirement, travel, relationships, and enjoying life after 60.#TravelAfter60 #RetirementTravel #LifeStartsAtRetirement | 15m 25s | ||||||
| 10/10/26 | Don't wait for someday! Make your RETIREMENT memories NOW! | What have you been saving for “someday”? A trip, time with someone you love, a new interest—or something you’ve wanted to do for years?In retirement, we may finally have more freedom, but it can still be surprisingly easy to postpone the experiences that matter to us. There’s always another responsibility, another reason to wait, or the hope that a better time will come. In this video, I reflect on making retirement memories now, allowing our dreams to change with us, and taking practical steps that fit our lives today.This doesn’t have to mean an expensive holiday or a dramatic life change. It might begin with arranging a visit, exploring somewhere nearby, or giving an interest of your own a place on the calendar.What is one thing you’d like to stop putting off? Tell me in the comments—I’d love to hear it.I’m Maureen with Life Starts at Retirement, where we talk about making your retirement remarkable.Subscribe for thoughtful conversations about retirement, relationships, purpose, travel, and enjoying this stage of life.#RetirementLife #LifeStartsAtRetirement #RetirementTravel | 12m 43s | ||||||
