The person behind Retirement Wanderlust

Hi, I’m Dee, and Retirement Wanderlust grew out of my own experience of stepping into retirement and wondering what comes next.


This space isn’t about reinvention or ticking off destinations, but about rediscovering purpose, connection, and curiosity at a gentler pace.


I write from lived experience, alongside other women navigating this chapter quietly and thoughtfully.


Here you’ll find reflections, stories, and simple ideas for exploring life — close to home or further afield — without pressure or urgency.


You don’t need a plan yet. You just need a place to begin.
