Living The Semi-Retired Life: My Favorite Travel Accounts And Resources
And my latest personal financial thought on the road to Spain!
86% of subscribers said yes when asked if they’d like more travel content, so here’s a little more. You can read some of my rationale for doing travel content in that post.
In our most recent travel-related post, I dove into the Airbnb controversy and talked about a travel resource my girlfriend turned me onto to book hotel rooms and apartments.
Today, I summarize my favorite travel accounts and resources. I have mentioned some of these before. However, we have added quite a few new subscribers since then.
Plus, I will add a few new accounts and resources, including a couple super helpful ways to get a feel for and learn how to navigate a city before you arrive—with illustrations. They’re also helpful if—like my partner and I—you’re planning to move to a new city, namely one in another country.
Speaking of new subscribers—
If you become a paid subscriber today, you’ll be set for all the upcoming posts I have on housing in the US and abroad—like this one.
You’ll have access to all of the posts from our upcoming trips: A week in Western New York next month and a month in Barcelona and Girona, Spain and Paris, Lyon, Toulouse, Bordeaux and Montpelier, France in February.
From the Western New York trip, I plan to derive considerable content on housing, specifically relatively inexpensive and vibrant places to live in America. Particularly Buffalo, New York and the West Side neighborhoods we’ll visit.
From the Southern Europe trip, lots of cost of living, food and drink and housing information and observations that will stand on their own and function as comparison cases to U.S. cities.
I will continue to chronicle our plans and all that they entail (saving, visa, moving, renting and, then, hopefully buying an apartment) to move to Spain sooner rather than later.
You can join for $5/month or $50/year. Both great options. However, if you join with or upgrade to a founding membership for $100 (or more), I will convert you to a lifetime subscription. Pay today. Never pay again. Because I intend to do this newsletter forever, it’s easily the most economical deal. A big thanks to all the folks who have opted for founding memberships recently. I appreciate it.
With this in mind, my favorite travel accounts and resources at the moment. Melisse and I spend a significant chunk of our down time—maybe too much (!)—with these accounts and platforms.
We’ll close things today with my latest personal finance thought. You get one—or an idea or strategy—in every post.
