Nomadic Pensioner

Since we retired six years ago we have traveled almost continuously. We travel with a hand luggage suitcase each, for trips of up to 3 months at a time. We often head off not having decided when we will return to the UK. As you say, it just takes some careful planning. We usually stay in apartments, not hotels, and choose ones with a washing machine and WiFi. We use public transport all the time. It's remarkably easy!
