    At 60 you are spring chicken. I'm a solo traveller at 77. Most recent trip was London UK to Aruba via Antigua. it's a fairly new British Airways Route. No serous problems. In recent years photographing exotic butterflies in the jungles of Costa Rica, and learning to fly a light aircraft from a water runway in Alaska were fun and challenging
    Just a couple of ideas for others to think about.

    Wonderful video! I think it's great you have discovered a way to be makers, and ones that provide so much inspiration for others. I considered vlogging on RUclips to share my travel experiences but have instead decided to use my interest in writing to create in that way. I'm currently writing a story about a fictional version of me (as a somewhat reluctant spy) that is filled with many of the real-life things that have happened to me as I've traveled the world. Using your creativity in whatever way you can, regardless of your age, is something we all should strive for. Thanks again for the great video and for all you do. Love following your adventures and hearing your perspectives on this stage of our lives. Cheers and safe travels!

    You can read history but walking in the Coliseum, viewing the Acropolis up close, driving down Irish country roads, seeing the treasures of the British Museum, seeing the gardens of the palaces in Vienna, sailing down the Nile, walking along canals in Amsterdam, or slogging through snow in Antarctica gives you whole new perspectives on what you think about the world. Keep up the good work!

    At nearly 10 plus years older than you two, I am still traveling a lot!! you are NOT TOO OLD... you easily have 10-20 years more! I know a travel channel from Canada that are probably close to 80 and still going strong... They saved the easier trips for older age such as Cruises... but they are still getting out there and still hike around and travel "light" :)

    I'm only halfway through this video but I have to leave my comment because I have SO MANY FEELINGS!!!! I LOVE that I see people my age out there doing this stuff. It's great following folks of any age but having contemporaries as my example feels so much more inspiring. And your example of just challenging yourselves and keeping your mentals fit through everything about your travels plus documenting them are what I need as I feel myself just sort of slumping mentally the older I get. And I can't leave this comment without saying how much I love. you two as a couple and just a really great team. Leaving aside the travel and the blog, you two are goals just as supportive partners to each other.
    Thank you for sharing so much of yourselves and what you're doing. It's amazing!

For me, I’ve always been a creator-through theater as an actress and improv performer, through travel photography for many years, and as a writer (I have a book on a totally different subject). My RUclips channel is my next creative chapter. That, and I completely enjoy helping other people travel. I love it; keeps me young too.

    John and Bev, your videos are indeed inspiring. After a long military career where I traveled quite a bit, I had the desire to travel post retirement with my wife. However, after my wife went through a four level cervical spine surgery last year, we thought our opportunity to travel had passed. But praise be to God, she has recovered well and in January we are traveling to Cancun/Valladolid/Huasteca Potosina n Mexico, followed by a 25 day trip to Portugal in May. Who knows where we will go in September, but we are planning on three trips per year for as long as God gives us health. All this to say, thank you showing us that it can be done, and that setting our own pace is ok. The Lord bless you and keep you!

    05:05 From what I understand, to 'like' and 'subscribe' are the primary things that puts a channel in notice. After that a 'comment' and watching the entire presentation puts the post on another higher level. I saw a presentation of this matter recently. Will advise you what it is when I find it.
    I really enjoy your channel and to support it I,
    1. "Like" the post
    2. I've Subscribed to it (with All notifications)
    3. Comment on it. Often just saying "A+" just to get that comment noticed.
    4. Watch the post in its entirety. Sometimes I don't have the time to fully watch so I let the video run in the background whilst I do other things.
    Supposedly these four things will help the channels algorithms in aiding to the success of presenters.

    I went to Tallin about 5 years ago for my nephews wedding.. Estonia is a beautiful place, we were there in the winter lots of snow. Coming from Australia where it doesn’t snow, we just loved it. I plan to go back in the warmer climate and do a much better tour. It was great to see that you were at places I had been too👏🏼👏🏼

    • @RetirementTravelers

      Thanks for sharing. We have loved Tallinn as well. We can connect you with a great local tour guide that we had met at the world Expo in Dubai. He gave us a wonderful tour yesterday.

    This is one of my favorite advice videos you have produced! Fantastic and inspirational. So much about travel vlogs focuses on the where and how…but not much about the why. Creators are most fulfilled when they create. Thank you for sharing that there’s so much more to it than monetization. As someone who is already a videographer and musician you’ve just reinforced the dream I want to execute when my own retirement begins in just a few short years. Bravo!!!

    What a wonderful vlog. I love your reason for starting your channel, to make. I think that's why I get so annoyed when people leave negative comments on RUclips channels. Its easy to sit there and moan, but a lot of time, thought and effort go into making videos.

    I love that you are changing the narrative, showing that we are never too old to take on new challenges. I also really appreciate your channel and the insights and travel inspiration you share. Plus, as someone knocking on 60’s door and it is nice to see and follow someone I can relate to on RUclips. There is a perspective you provide that comes with this time of our lives, questions someone at age twenty doesn’t think about or have to worry about yet that you also tackle. Thanks for investing the time and becoming “makers” in retirement as well as in your lives.

    • @RetirementTravelers

    Greetings. I guess you might say my life was a bit upside down.. As a kid my parents owned a travel agency. So to further their business goals they traveled and I got an education by tagging along. My parents immigrated from the UK to the USA and we visited my relatives. I am now an official old fart but with a disability to not being able to walk far. So as you can see my travels were at the beginning of my life and now I can sit back and truly enjoy your travels vicariously. My stumbling on your RUclips Channel has meant much to me. I can thoroughly enjoy your travels and your perspectives because I can personally relate to them. I say BRAVO to you both. Enjoy your travels and know I will be there watching you on your journey. Take care from SE Wisconsin.

This data will help us who are considering going abroad get an idea what it will cost to do what you do. Thanks, Peter

      Thanks for the idea! This is a tough question to answer because it varies so much by location, activities, speed of travel, etc. We made a video last year to try to explain some of the major factors and give you an idea on costs.

    Y'all are very inspirational. Ive been a subscriber for several months now and you have definitely inspired me to travel! I'm 62, single, and still working, but I'm not waiting for things to be just right or the traditional retirement story. Thank you for opening my mind and heart to the possibilities! Keep making!❤

    Thank you John and Bev! Your perspectives and attitudes always resonate with me. I may have been one of those "nice questioners!" We have discussed how we don't want to feel like we are spending our retirement years just entertaining ourselves with travel, but making meaningful contributions too, and it's fun to learn your motivations here.

      Thanks and we always enjoy nice questioners! We love questions that make us think and sometimes are the basis for videos.
      Safe travels and many blessings,
