Welcome to The (50+) Working Traveller
Where 50+ Nomads Find Freedom, Purpose, and Simple Ways to Fund Their Adventures
After 15 years of (semi) nomadic living across 45+ countries, I've learned that adventure has no age limit, and you don't need a complicated business to fund your freedom.
In this free newsletter, I'll show you three things:
How to design a fulfilling travel lifestyle after 50 (without the tech-bro digital nomad hype)
Simple, practical ways to earn while you explore (no need to build a "full-scale business")
How to overcome the unique challenges 50+ nomads face (from health concerns to loneliness)
My Story: From the UK to the World
It all began in 2010 when we left the UK with our 4-year-old daughter under our arm to pursue a nomadic lifestyle and start our online adventure. Within a year, we had generated over six figures online and were splitting time between Cyprus, the UK, and Australia (read my full story here).
Eventually, we needed a more stable base for our daughter's education, so we chose Phuket, Thailand, having traveled and stayed there many times before. Yet we continued to explore extensively, visiting 45+ countries while simultaneously building multiple successful online businesses and a 7-figure Amazon FBA business which we sold in 2020.
Now in my 50s, our nomadic adventures have reignited as our daughter has graduated and is blazing her own trail. The world is wide open again, and this time with decades of wisdom, financial freedom, and zero school schedules to hold us back.
I'm passionate about sharing our journey & inspiring other 50+ freedom seekers how to create sustainable, joy-filled travel lifestyles without the pressure, overwhelm, or tech-obsession that dominates the younger nomad scene.
This is our time—to explore deeper, connect more authentically, and create a life of freedom on our own terms.
No more waiting for "someday"—that someday is NOW.
