YouTube Video Description

https://www.retirementtravelers.com Today, we show you where to travel in 2025 in our Lake Atitlan Guatemala travel vlog and give some what to do after retirement ideas. We take a boat ride to explore a few of the 12 cities located around the shores of Lake Atitlan, which is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. We pick up some food in San Marcos and then explore art, textiles, chocolate and coffer in San Juan La Laguna. We then return to our Airbnb location in Santa Cruz La Laguna to take a Guatemalan cooking class. This is our retirement and we hope you will join us for a 10-year journey and world travel vlog. Perhaps our travel will give some ideas on what to do in retirement and where to travel in 2025. As older travel vloggers, we have different perspectives as we show you where to visit in 2025 and give you our experiences as we travel the world. We hope you will subscribe, join us on our adventure, give us some likes and send us comments and suggestions. It means so much.

But, that is what we did! We work hard every day to become better and create something that others will enjoy. Having a community of friends, old and new, follow our journey is fun and exciting to us. In 2019, we achieved our goal of visiting every state in the union in our Airstream. We also visited every national park in the lower 48. We are big believers in lists, so of course we plan to see the remaining 12 parks in the next few years. In 2021, we made the big decision to extreme downsize to just a suitcase and a small backpack, each. We started our journey around the world beginning in Central America. We hope that over the next ten years, we will have seen many beautiful things, made many memories and new friends, and shared the experience with our children and grandchildren. We hope you enjoy the journey with us. Drop us a note in the comments and be sure to hit subscribe! 🗺 🎥 🌮
