Two Retirees. One Month. One City. 🌏

Tokyo is next. 🇯🇵 But Tokyo is only the beginning. Since retirement, we’ve chosen not to settle into one place or rush from one destination to another. We want to travel slowly, stay longer and experience what everyday life feels like in different parts of the world. These are the next six

How Do We Travel Full-Time After Retirement?

People often ask us, “How can you travel full-time after retirement?” 🌏 The answer is actually quite simple. We rent out our home while we’re away, so it continues to generate rental income while we travel. We work with a SGD 4,000 monthly slow-travel budget for the two of us. Some months

The Road to Porto 🇵🇹 Via Óbidos

If you’re driving from Lisbon to Porto, don’t rush the journey. When my sister flew to Portugal to join us, we rented a car instead of taking the train. It gave us the freedom to explore at our own pace. Our stopover was Óbidos—a beautiful medieval town with cobblestone streets, whitewashed h

Our 2nd European city…

🇵🇹 Lisbon was our second European city… and it completely surprised us. After spending a month in Granada, we weren’t sure if Lisbon would have the same magic. It didn’t. It had its own personality. Steep hills, iconic trams, amazing cafés, unforgettable sunsets, and endless places to e

30 Days in Granada 🇪🇸What Surprised Us

We came to Granada for the Alhambra. We left with so much more. After spending 30 days living here, we discovered that Granada isn’t just a beautiful city—it’s a place with unique traditions, fascinating history and a slower pace of life. From afternoon siestas and 9pm dinners to free tapa

A little throwback to the beginning of our slow travel journey 🇪🇸 Before arriving in JB, our first European city was Granada, Spain. As Singapore passport holders, we can travel visa-free in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Instead of rushing through as many countr

🌴 We Tried Retirement Before We Retired

Our slow travel journey didn’t begin with a flight in January 2026. It began three months earlier in Bali. In October 2025, we spent one month there—not for a holiday, but for a trial retirement. Before making any big life decisions, we wanted to know if the life we had been dreaming about
