Episode 105 - Planning Your Retirement Travel in 2025 and 2026
Today’s episode visits the theme of travel and the evolution of travel since our last travel-themed episode. As retirees look to make the most of their newfound freedom, travel becomes an essential way to explore the world and discover new experiences. But as travel trends evolve, how can retirees align their adventures with meaningful goals-whether that's staying active, bonding with family, or prioritizing longevity?
In this episode, we’ll explore the biggest travel trends set to define 2025 and 2026, and how they can help retirees build more enriching, intentional travel experiences. From new ways to combine wellness and longevity with exploration, to small-group, interest-based trips that open doors to deeper connections, these trends offer retirees exciting opportunities to travel in ways that align with their lifestyles and values.
We’ll also dive into how retirees can maximize comfort and efficiency while traveling, from premium services that offer peace of mind to luxury experiences that make the journey itself just as exciting as the destination. Whether you’re dreaming of a personalized luxury cruise, a journey by private train, or traveling with family to create lifelong memories, we’ll cover how to approach these trends thoughtfully and avoid the overwhelm of modern travel logistics.
