The retirement funding disaster that is on our doorstep will be with us for a long time 
Paul McCartney On Retirement Though your life may span upwards of eighty years, usually there are only two times in your life when you can travel completely unrestricted; as a young adult or as a retiree. The period in life before you settle down into a career and family is a popular time to experience the world, however, this usually comes with restrictions, that being money. As a retiree, you’re a lot more likely to be financially stable and responsibility-free. Gone are the years of being locked into a 9-5 job and bringing up a family, as a retiree you often have the freedom to do whatever you please. And, with all the travel options there are plus huge amounts of spare time on your side, you literally have the world at your fingertips!
The Financially Conscious Option: House Swap
Always wanted to live in a townhouse in London? Perhaps you’ve dreamed of living in a beach-front shack in Malibu? Both options are within easy reach – without the worry of spending a fortune or committing to a new location long term – thanks to house swapping. Many retirees own their own homes and can quite literally exchange their house for someone else’s house in another country. If you’re worried about safety (and rightly so) make sure you go through some of the bigger sites, these offer verifications for each participant and offer a security program. Try companies like www.homeexchange.com and www.lovehomeswap.com
The Social Option: Try Living Off the grid!!
Are you retired? Are you interested in Caravanning? Great, then you check all the boxes to become part of the world’s exclusive off the grid club, Campervanners. Every year, thousands of retirees take to the roads and head for warmer weather on a caravan trip that puts a two-week vacation to shame! The group usually heads through the outback for many months and park their caravans together at each site, plus with most of the group being budget-conscious the adventure shouldn’t break the bank.
The Luxury Option: Retirement Cruising
Picture a huge, luxury ship full of likeminded people around your age who are too, responsibility-free. Though not many people are aware, retirement cruises are actually a thing. The cruise line Oceania offers a 180-day cruise that stops in 30 different countries. While the price may seem steep, you must take into account that you won’t be paying for transport, airfares, accommodation or food for six whole months – this is all covered in the price of the cruise. Plus, you’ll be traveling in complete luxury. After all, what better way to kick back and enjoy your hard-earned retirement than poolside with a cocktail as you sail across the Aegean Sea?
The Humanitarian Option: Voluntourism
As a retiree, you’re obviously (read: hopefully!) a lot more mature than your average twenty-something on a gap year holiday. For this reason, you may be drawn towards giving back and interested in a volunteer holiday. If so, Voluntourism is likely a great fit. There’s a myriad of different programs and charities out there that will be delighted to host you. Options are endless, you can do anything from helping with turtle conservation in Indonesia or teaching English in Costa Rica, or even helping preserve UNESCO listed World Heritage Sites in Italy. By volunteering with charities, you’ll not only feel good about giving back, but you’ll also get the opportunity to gain local insight about the culture and the area from those that you are volunteering for.
The Adventurous option: Swim through an underwater gallery because, why not?
The above are all fairly responsible and very realistic options when it comes to retirement. However, if there’s ever a time to let loose and let your hair down, it’s now. After all, you deserve to celebrate how hard you’ve worked throughout your life. So, on that note, why not do something adventurous and different, like swimming through an underwater art gallery? The Maldives is home to an underwater art gallery consisting of completely submerged art sculptures designed by British artist Jason deCaires Taylor, doubling as a habitat for marine life. The combination of art, water, and sea life cannot be done justice by just pictures; and its beauty must be seen to be believed. Plus, visiting somewhere as cool as an underwater art gallery on an island
will send shivers down their spine!
