Does your retirement plan include travel?

Let Lynn and Larry Michelsohn help you enjoy a relaxed, fun-filled summer in Europe. Their lighthearted retirement travel guide shows you how to . . .

~ Choose countries that sound interesting—places you’ve always wanted to visit.

~ Travel by ship, plane, train, bus, tram, taxi—no driving on the wrong side of the road required.

~ Settle into a European city for a week or a month. Get to know the place and its people better than is possible on a whirlwind tour.

~ String together a few month-long stays in different cities. Why not? You’re retired. Your time is your own.

~ Stay in rented apartments—so easy to arrange using the Internet.

~ Cook for yourself—and sample as much or as little of the “native cuisine” as you dare.

~ Live like locals as far as is conveniently possible and as frugally as you need to.

~ Look for sufficient adventure to spice things up—enough, but not too much—find whatever level of challenge suits you.

Let SLOW TRAVEL—RETIRED AND LOVING IT! inspire you to plan your own Slow Travel adventure.

Larry and Lynn say, “Slow Travel makes a summer in Europe easier and less expensive than you think. If we can do it, almost anyone can!”
