Summary
What if your next chapter wasn't about slowing down or shrinking your world... but about expanding it? This week I'm sitting down with Andrew Motiwalla , founder of The Good Life Abroad, a company that creates month-long, community-based travel experiences across Europe for people over 55. And before you picture yourself rushing through a museum with a tour group, let me stop you right there. This is something entirely different. It's living abroad the way you always imagined you might someday. Your own apartment. A built-in community of like-minded travelers. A local support person who has your back. And the freedom to explore at your own pace. Andrew and I get into so much good stuff, including a concept I had never heard before called joyspan, which honestly stopped me in my tracks. Because the question this episode really asks is not "where do you want to travel?" It's "what kind of life do you want to be living?" We talk about: Why slow, immersive travel does something for you that a 10-day tour simply cannot How community changes the entire experience, especially for solo travelers The way living abroad can quietly shift your confidence, your habits, and even your sense of identity What joyspan is and why increasing it might matter more than you think Whether this becomes a real plan or just a beautiful idea you carry around for a while, I think you're going to love this conversation.
