Life's too short to keep putting off your retirement dreams
Do you dream of exploring the world in retirement but feel overwhelmed by everything you need to plan before you go?
Maybe you’re ready for new adventures but feel paralysed by all the decisions — where to go, how long for and what to do first.
Or perhaps you’ve started researching but feel lost in a sea of information, unsure what advice applies to travellers your age.
If this sounds like you, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it all out yourself.
I help culture-loving retirees like you go from feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about planning their big trips to feeling calm, organised and ready to travel with confidence.
Through my guides, planners and supportive resources, you’ll learn how to:
Feel in control from the start
Instead of spending endless hours searching online or wasting money on guidebooks that don’t fit your needs, you’ll follow clear, structured steps to prioritise your must-have travel experiences and bring your trip plans together in one place.
Plan the trip that truly fits you
Travel at your own pace and enjoy experiences that genuinely inspire you rather than following one-size-fits-all advice. Whether you’re dreaming of a cultural sabbatical, a few months exploring Europe or a round-the-world adventure, you’ll create a plan that reflects your comfort level, curiosity and interests.
Travel confidently and stay connected
Learn practical ways to stay in touch with loved ones, keep your home and finances secure, and manage the details that give you peace of mind wherever your travels take you.
Create memories for life
Travel isn’t just about ticking off destinations, it’s also about the moments and stories you’ll bring home. I’ll help you plan not only your journey but also how to preserve and share those experiences for years to come.
“Planning big trips later in life shouldn’t feel overwhelming, it should feel exciting."
Hi, I’m Alison, founder of Restless Retiree. Like many people approaching retirement, I’d spent years dreaming about travelling more, spending months abroad immersing myself in history, culture and new experiences.
But when I finally sat down to plan, I found it far more confusing than I expected.
Unlike my first big trip 20 years ago, there’s now so much information online that it’s hard to know what’s relevant or who to trust.
Every time I thought I’d made progress, another idea or checklist would pull me in a different direction. I worried I’d miss something important, waste time and money, or run out of time to do the things I really wanted to do. It felt like I was going round in circles.
And beyond deciding where to go, there was everything else to think about: health,
insurance, money, home security and family arrangements. The more I researched, the more overwhelmed I became.
So, I created a system for myself: a clear, step-by-step framework to organise my ideas, notes and checklists into something practical. It helped me turn my travel dreams into a real, manageable plan, one that gave me confidence and peace of mind rather than anxiety.
That system became the starting point for Restless Retiree. I realised there must be so many others like me, people who are passionate about travel but not so much about planning it.
Here, I share the clarity, structure, and reassurance I wish I’d had when I started, so you can prepare with confidence and focus on the part that matters most: living your dream travels fully and without regrets.
