Creator's Key Takeaways
What if instead of trying to squeeze all of Europe into a short vacation, packing and unpacking over and over again, you could spend a full month living in one city?
We purposely don't live in the tourist centers right where it's been kind of gutted and there's no more local life it's just tourist life.
Retirement doesn't have to be a time when your life starts to close in on you. It can actually be a time where the world opens up to you.

What if your next trip wasn’t a week… but a month living like a local? In this episode, I talk with Andrew Motiwalla, founder of The Good Life Abroad, a company that helps travelers 55+ spend a month at a time living in European cities with a built-in community of likeminded travelers. We dive into where the idea came from, what a “month abroad” actually looks like in practice, how this model challenges traditional tourism, and how slow, community-based travel fits into the wider conversation around overtourism and responsible travel. I also share my own experience working with The Good Life Abroad in Barcelona and across Spain.
