Taking a “golden gap year” is an emerging trend among retirees, with increasing numbers of older people planning to see the world when they retire.
Retirement travel is being widely documented on social media by people like retired British teachers Jackie and Richard Pickles, whose Early Retirement Wanderlust YouTube channel shares their campervan travels through the UK and Europe.
Another experienced retirement traveller is Tina (who does not like to reveal her surname), who started the YouTube channel This Is Our Retirement with her husband Norm, who died last year at the age of 70, to share their exploration of the world.
