About

Hi! We’re John & Bev—a full-time senior travel couple who traded lawn care for luggage and routine for runway gates. In 2020, we sold our home, gave away everything, and hit the road. To date, we’ve explored 108 countries, visited all 50 U.S. states, and checked off every National Park in the lower 48. Our mission? To inspire others to rethink what retirement can look like—active, adventurous, and absolutely unforgettable. Each week, we share our travelogue here on YouTube of our latest adventure—complete with missteps, travel hiccups, and of course beautiful sights. Join our thriving Facebook community where thousands of fellow travelers share stories, advice, and a love for the open road. And don’t miss our free weekly newsletter for fresh inspiration in your inbox. Please feel free to reach out, we love making new friends and answering any questions you may have!
