Hi there! Nice to meet you. We’re Phil and Dee, a semi-retired couple passionate about travel, retirement planning, and living a purpose-driven retirement life.
After years of planning and preparing for our own retirement while living in Perth, Australia, we’ve learned a lot about making the most of this exciting stage—and now we’re here to share those insights with you.
We understand that retirement is not just about where you live, but also how you live.
From exploring new destinations to cultivating a fulfilling daily routine, we’re committed to helping you live a life that brings you joy and purpose—whether that’s through local adventures, new hobbies, or simply embracing a slower pace of life.
Our Experience:
With over 5 years of focused retirement planning and experience living in countries like Australia, Mexico, and Indonesia, we’ve learned what it takes to create a balanced, meaningful retirement.
Whether you’re interested in traveling to new places, relocating for retirement, or creating a fulfilling life without leaving your hometown, we’re here to help.
Our expertise includes:
- Semi-retirement and online project work
- Retirement planning and financial insights
- Maximizing travel opportunities in retirement
- Living and retiring abroad (expat life) with practical tips on how to transition to life in a new country

Retiree Stories: Real Tales, Real Insights, and a Little Anonymity
We know firsthand that retirement is as unique as the people living it, so we’ve gathered stories from fellow retirees to showcase just how varied—and exciting—this chapter of life can be.
In our Retiree Stories section, you’ll find candid Q&As with retirees from around the world who’ve been kind enough to share their experiences, advice, and lessons learned.
Now, we’ll let you in on a little secret: we’re a bit camera-shy ourselves.
To keep things simple (and avoid the whole “Hey, aren’t you that blog couple?” moment in the checkout line), we’ve decided to skip the headshots. Instead, we’ve used AI enhanced images to bring our words to life—giving you visuals without any awkward fan encounters.
This approach also protects the identities of our featured retirees, ensuring they can continue their retirement journeys in peace. By staying a bit behind the scenes, we keep our stories and experiences grounded and authentic—real advice from real people, with nothing to prove but everything to share!
We hope these stories inspire you, make you laugh, and give you a little extra confidence as you chart your own retirement journey.
