ABOUT US:
As the Retirement Travelers, we have always dreamed of traveling, but we never in a million years thought we would become travel vloggers and start a UA-cam channel. But, that is what we did! We work hard every day to become better and create something that others will enjoy. Having a community of friends, old and new, follow our journey is fun and exciting to us.
In 2019, we achieved our goal of visiting every state in the union in our Airstream. We also visited every national park in the lower 48. We are big believers in lists, so of course we plan to see the remaining 12 parks in the next few years.
In 2021, we made the big decision to extreme downsize to just a large and small backpack, each. We started our journey around the world beginning in Central America. We hope that over the next many years, we will have seen many beautiful things, made many memories and new friends, and shared the experience with our children and grandchildren.
We hope you enjoy the journey with us. Drop us a note in the comments and be sure to hit subscribe! 🗺 🎥 🌮
There have been a lot of questions about the power strip's rating. The company's website states it is rated to 250v. Just wanted to add that information. Thanks for using our link! John & Bev
Thanks for clarifying. Good to know because we just purchased this item and heading out soon.
I have been researching the power strip you reference and am confused. Having smoked a 120vac power bar in Germany a few years ago I am being extra cautious. The built-in surge protection did not like 220vac. You mention the companies website states 250v but the amazon link on your website shows 125v. What is the power rating on the actual power strip you travel with and what is the model#? Thank you.
@@michaelosborne1750 You are correct that the specs on the website and Amazon are different. We have used it several months with no issues at all in many different countries. You should contact the company directly if you still have concerns.
John and Bev
@@RetirementTravelers Thank you for the info and I have contacted the company. They say it should work and the '~' in the "125V~" rating means includes 240v. What does the Rating say on your strip?
I am one more that is asking the same question. When we were still home in Canada I ordered this power bar and have used it in Italy. We are in a different country now and my husband is very concerned bc it says 125v on the actual item. He's got me worried so I thought I'd ask you (you're incredibly responsive). Glad I revisited this video bc now I have seen other people adding this. Thanks for fielding questions and giving so much time to your 'peeps'! 😃 I'm going to show him your answers. It's a scary thought... What if??? It would not be good
This is such high quality video. You both speak clearly and eloquently. This is super helpful. Great editing skills, too. Your channel truly is top quality.
Thank you so much for the kind words. We try very hard to produce high quality and helpful content.

Dry bags are also great to do your laundry in; I also bring Eucalan laundry soap (because I have a lot of merino wool items) which requires no rinsing. Stuff the dirty laundry in the bag, fill with water in the shower or bath, put in some Eucalan and seal. Roll it around on the shower floor a bit, then leave to soak 15 minutes. Open the bag and carefully press most of the water out with your foot, then squeeze the remaining water out of each item, spread them out on a bath towel and roll them up for 10 minutes. Unroll and hang items to dry
Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated.

We have a “safe word” that helps us manage the things that go wrong. We’ve picked a location we both loved and use it as our secret way of saying, “this sucks, you’re acting like a jerk, or I might hurt somebody. But I love you, and the world is a good place, and we are so lucky to be in it.”
Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Safe travels,

Thank you so much for showing your tech upgrades. I quickly ordered the extension cord and Anker bricks for both of us (we do not always travel together). The one item I will agree to disagree is digital boarding passes. My phone really misbehaved in an airport once and I was unable to access my boarding pass. Now I just print one from the kiosk and my stress level stays normal. 🙂
Oh, we get that. We take a picture of our pass so we have it in our pictures, plus we add it to our digital wallet. We copy both tickets in case one of our phones act up. Thanks for watching! John & Bev

This is the best ‘summary packing advice’ video I’ve seen online, and I’ve been watching packing videos for 10 years (it’s a hobby of mine 😂). The electronics section alone was 👌✨. Every piece of advice was hard won and so practical.
Wow! What kind words!! It’s been many years of learning from our mistakes. So many people make packing videos before they’ve actually traveled anywhere and it’s not always the best advice or practical. Given your hobby 😉, we are glad our advice hit a home run with you! John & Bev www.retirementtravelers.com
" Nothing is absolute." You're very wrong. I "absolutely" get great tips from the "Retirement Travelers everytime I watch!
Wow! Thanks so much. This comment made us both smile! We are glad our tips are helping you! John & Bev
OMG you have improved your packing so much- I have only commented on one other video, your first packing one- it was pretty bad. I have been to over 120 countries in the last 37 years, and have refined my packing constantly. I will upgrade my noise cancelling headphones, and add air tags. I love your advice on jacket layering- I use the exact same method, with embarrassingly expensive jackets! I travel with everything lightweight, currently using a 25L pack that weighs less than 1 pound, fully loaded I carry 12 pounds, plus whatever I am wearing. Light and fast is the only way to go....you guys are awesome
OMG you have improved your comments! 🤣 Thanks for making us chuckle. Glad you got some new ideas and you are doing a great job of packing light.
Safe travels and thanks for following along.

I was cracking up when John said, "We are all 29 years old". Totally agree, we are young and able, with much more experience in life. Thank you for sharing.
We live by the CS Lewis quote, "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream". Are bodies are fading, but we still think young. 🤣

What a great, informative video!! Thank you! My husband and I are both retired now too. We started traveling in 2018 for long domestic road trips - "Getting our Bucket List Down"! Last year was our first flight out of the country to Canada for an Alaska cruise. We are going to Italy in October and plan on traveling very light, a first for us. Your video has given me many great ideas!!
That is awesome! So glad it was helpful. Thanks for following along with us.

I have been stopped at airport security because of my epipens. This was outside of North America. I had a long stressful discussion with multiple people about the absolute necessity for these. Ultimately I was allowed to keep them. They had the original pharmacy stickers on them. I now carry a doctor's letter as additional documentation.
Thanks for sharing.

Awesome!!!! We’ve been traveling Europe for almost a year and added a few of these things to our list of things we need to replace! Quality is KEY! We’ve made this mistake with too many essential items trying to save money when we first left! Thanks guys!!!

Great video. So true about keeping a positive attitude! Its very likely that something will 'go wrong' when traveling. You have to move on and adjust accordingly. There's no reason to ruin your entire trip by dwelling on whatever happened.
Thanks and keeping a positive attitude is very important. Life is too short for anything else.

I like all the advice, especially about the tech and different color packing cubes. I do find it amusing that you both wear self-promotional caps and tshirts, i would definitely try to blend in more.
While it might seem silly to others, the truth is that we have probably met over one thousand people on our journey that would not otherwise spoken to us without having seen us in our shirts. Why blend when we can have that experience? Life is about relationships. Blending isn’t our goal.
John and Bev
When you board a plane, do you separate the backpack into 2 pieces for a carry-on and personal item? Also, how much do you bags way full? Finally, I was surprised you had two MacBooks. Guess, you might use them at the same time, but, thought it might be better/lighter to share one. Happy Trails!!!
Yes, we separate the backpacks for a personal item. Oftentimes we carry the daypacks in our hands. They can also attach to the front of our packs. There are clips on our shoulder straps so they can hang in front. We carry about 55 lbs total between the two of us. The heaviest single items are Bev's MacBook and our tripod. We both need a laptop since we do a lot of writing, planning, and editing. We wish we could make do with one, but it's not possible since we have a full blog and channel. Thanks for the questions! Happy Trails to you too! John & Bev www.retirementtravelers.com

For the dry bag: I started carrying the Scrubba bag for the use of the scrubbing/laundry agitating bumps inside. I’ve owned mine for years & still works (also has a see thru window). It’s also maybe add a length of paracord; serves multi use (belt, clothesline, shoelace, etc)
Thanks for the tip and additional insights. Much appreciated.

Have you seen the mogics donut and bagel? Those are our current go to plugs, and I think you could save a bit of space and weight by switching out your multicolored adapter and power strip for the donut, as it does both of those things!

I'm also a huge fan of the travel power strip! (Though I use a slightly different kind). One benefit that you didn't mention is that outlets are not always logically placed, and the extension cord capabilities of our power strips is worth its weight in gold.
Also, I'm super inspired to get an Anker charger now! I never understood why they were useful until you explained. Thanks!
Thanks for comment. We certainly agree on the extension cord capabilities. You will love the Anker charger. We carry everything in our backpacks and always are aware of any extra weight.
Also, you have a great channel and such wonderful content as well. Keep up the good work and safe travels,
John and Bev
retirementtravelers.com/
@@RetirementTravelers Thanks guys! Actually I'm curious: since the extension cord has USB (A & C) ports, it is not redundant to have the Anker charger too?
@@NoraDunn The Anker chargers work great for us because they provide an additional 3 "C" plugs and 1 "USB" on each charger. They also charge faster and provide temperature protection to the devices. We each have computers, phones, airbuds and cameras, so lots of things to charge.
Hope this makes since.

Thanks so much for getting down to the details. That’s so helpful! I wonder if it would be possible to do a video on how you save space on just your toiletries, since not being able to “go back home” to refill small containers from large ones isn’t an option. I realize that we all have different preferences/needs in that area, but different creams, liquids, etc. can be substituted for different people’s needs, while still implementing your space & weight-saving ideas. You did mention once that you use toothpaste tablets or have shared the same tube of toothpaste as you travel. That’s the type of tip I’m talking about. I’m not asking that you share anything too personal, but maybe generalize about some contents while being specific about containers. Of course, nowadays, we’re all limited by sizes of containers and liquids, but y’all have your own added limitations of what you want to haul around. 😊 I love how you “get to the point” in your videos and do such an excellent job of giving us helpful information. I also appreciate the fact that you included the change to the Osprey Fairview 55 for Bev and why you did that. We’re in the process of deciding and ordering our Osprey backpacks for our travel needs. Blessings on you both as you travel the world! We’ll be enjoying your adventures as you go. Remember, no detail is irrelevant; it will always help someone in some way. 🤗
Thanks and glad it was helpful to you. Thanks for the suggestion. In general, we have found that we have been able to find most anything we need to replenish around the world. Sometimes different brands, but acceptable.
Safe travels,

Granted it is not assured but I feel better knowing you have been all over the world and never stopped. Also love that you are 60 year old in a 29 year old body -- I feel the same way (most days)!

These are great tips. Some of them I hadn't thought about. That is so true about electrical outlets being so loose that your plug won't stay in, as we have also experienced that in other countries. I did laugh when John was mentioning "carrying on," even though I know you were referring to your backpacks! Thank you for sharing what you have found that works. We will definitely use them.

You guys are 110 percent correct! My wife and I have traveled everywhere with just a roller and a backpack. This includes Antarctica and Egypt. If we know we will be buying souvenirs for family, we pack a duffle that folds up nice and flat into one bag and one the way home we put the dirty laundry in it and protect the souvenirs in one roller bag. We use this method for 7-12 days of travel; we can always find a way to wash clothes on the trip if needed.
Thanks for sharing! Good stuff.
Safe travels,
