ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
Our three-month stay in Paris is the fulfillment of a 25+ year-old dream. While in college, I knew people who did study abroad and I was upset that I didn’t figure out how to make that happen. It took a long time, but we finally made it happen.
As we pursue our roving retirement around the world, we periodically indulge in a cooking or tasting class, to further understand what a given locale has to offer.
During our five-week stay in Bali, we spent a fair amount of money and time diving. While we mentioned that we didn’t go to Bali for the food, we did spend some time at restaurants and we even took a Balinese cooking class.
One of the highlights of our trip to Italy was the Food and Wine tour of Sicily that we booked for the beginning of our two weeks in Sicily. We were excited to see the island and learn about its culture food and wine.
Before and during our roving retirement, we have found that cooking classes, food tours, and market tours provide us with key insights into the culture of a place and it’s people.
