Want to Travel the World in Retirement? Here's How

Posted on by

Its a daydream thats crossed just about everyones mind at one point or another quit work, sell the house, pack a suitcase and head out into a life of travel. But what if you turned that daydream into your retirement reality? What does it take to spend retirement not relaxing at home, but discovering a whole new world through travel? With 360,000 Americans receiving their social security benefits at foreign addresses in 2013 a 48% increase over 2003 its not such a far-fetched question.

Are You Really Ready?

Theres a lot of planning involved before embarking on a life of travel, and that planning starts with an honest assessment of your readiness for such a lifestyle. While there are no right-or-wrong answers, you need to ask yourself the following:

Whats Your Financial Situation?

World travel does not come cheap one week-long international trip can cost $5,000 and up for two people. If youre planning on staying abroad considerably longer than that, youll need to take steps to prepare financially. Extensive travel requires a healthy nest egg but the exact amount depends a great deal on your expectations. If you want to stay in upscale hotels throughout Europe or North America, youll need a hefty bank account before heading out. If you are willing to stay in modest accommodations hostels, inexpensive motels, rented apartments or campgrounds you can travel quite inexpensively. Visiting countries in the developing world is another way to save big in many places, you can travel on just a few dollars per day.

Whether you plan on several big trips a year, or a more permanent life on the road, your itinerary needs to start with an honest look at all of your retirement savings, including money in the bank, investments, social security, pensions and any income from rentals or businesses.

Since you may not have set up your retirement savings and investing plan to accommodate frequent or full-time travel, you'll need to seriously reexamine your retirement income plan.Once you know what you have to work with, youll be able to assess how much you can budget for daily expenses while traveling. A good financial consultant can help you analyze your investments to weed out any weak spots or potential for improvement.

If you are taking a major plunge heading out for a year or more on the road its time to consider the ultimate in downsizing selling your home and the majority of your possessions to finance your excursions. This is not a decision to make lightly, however, so take several months to investigate all the details involved, speak with your family and friends and consult with your financial advisor. Another option is renting your house out while you travel: a good option if you want to return home eventually.

Budget-Friendly Retirement Travel

While flying first-class to a luxury hotel is certainly enjoyable, it isnt normally part of a travel-based retirement. Instead, look for options that keep your budget under control. Along with choosing destinations that are known for low cost of living and staying in inexpensive lodgings, you can cut costs in many other ways.

Everyone knows Australians love to travel, but a new study has found that we're not the biggest travellers in the world and that we still prefer domestic trips to international ones.

A new survey by business consulting firm Timetric has found that northern Europeans are the world's biggest travellers, with four Nordic countries all in the top five. US travellers were also in the top five, but their travels were dominated by domestic trips. Norwegians were the biggest international travellers, taking an average of two international trips per year.

Several factors were found to explain why people from Nordic countries travel so much. These included relatively high incomes and low unemployment, as well as the high cost of living in these countries - which makes travelling to a cheaper foreign destination an attractive proposition. Escape the tough winter climate was also cited as a reason many Scandanvians and Finns will head abroad.

According to the results, the world's top 10 biggest travellers are:

1. Finland

Finland is the most well-travelled country in the world, with the average Finn making 7.5 trips a year, including stays at home and abroad.

2. United States

The US has the largest domestic travel market in the world, with national holidays bumping up the average person's number of trips to 6.7 a year. However, international travel is very limited, with only 1 out of 5 Americans going abroad in 2013. Fewer than half of Americans own a passport.

WYSTC 2014 Conference Sends Clear Message That Youth Is The travel Industry's Fastest Growing Sector

Posted on by

Last month over 650 leading youth travel professionals from more than 120 countries gathered in Dublin for the 23rd World Youth and Student Travel Conference, WYSTC 2014.

One of the key themes underpinning the leading global youth, student and educational travel event, which was held at the Convention Centre Dublin, was the sheer power of youth travel. With its performance critical to the future trajectory of global travel, the message echoed by all speakers was that tourism's fastest-growing sector needs to be fully embraced.

In his opening speech, David Chapman, Director General of WYSE Travel Confederation, said: "As the only global event dedicated to youth travel's development, WYSTC's success lies in its ability to encourage an entire industry to come together under one roof.

"Our research reveals that this lucrative market is now estimated at being worth over US$230 billion every year, with young people accounting for one in five international tourists and the spend by young travellers predicted to rise by 47% over the coming decade. The gathering of delegates from all corners of the globe serves as a reminder of the immense opportunities the booming youth market offers to the travel industry and visitor economies worldwide."

Recognising the value of the conference's educational sessions at previous WYSTC events, WYSE Travel Confederation boosted this year's programme to include over 30 stimulating seminars and workshops alongside pre-organised business appointments and daily networking events. These sessions were led by more than 40 prominent experts in their fields who were chosen to champion the latest thinking and leave delegates motivated to drive the youth travel industry forward.

Another theme which emerged from the educational programme was that, with young travellers known for being at the leading edge of change and innovation, it is vital that those catering for these early adopters of new technology ensure they stay ahead of social media and mobile trends.

As such, WYSTC 2014's high-profile speakers included Skyscanner's Filip Filipov, whose opening keynote session on the future of travel encouraged attendees to consider how new technologies and artificial intelligence will come together to change travel experiences over the next decade. He was complemented by Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the world's greatest living explorer who has made a career out of encouraging young people to challenge themselves, who delivered the inspiring closing keynote address.

As he welcomed attendees to the conference, Chapman reminded delegates that the socio-economic benefits for the young traveller are just as important to consider, a point that was reiterated by the UNWTO's Carlos Vogeler who joined him on stage. Vogeler said: "Never before have so many people travelled to so many places to explore and engage. The focus for these globally-oriented citizens is to get to know the true culture and the people who make a destination what it is."

Before Filipov's presentation, Paschal Donohoe - the Republic of Ireland's Minister of Transport, Tourism and Sport - stressed how instrumental overseas experiences can be in shaping future societies and why Ireland is looking to support the youth travel sector as a destination.

He explained: "We [Ireland] are a small, open and changing country where all our young people spend time abroad, whether through necessity or choice and all bring back valuable experience. My trip to America as a younger man gave me an appreciation of the importance of gaining an understanding of other cultures and the nature of globalisation is that there are now more ideas spreading across the world in a day than used to happen in a year."
