Our Commitment
We promise to only recommend experiences or products that we 100% believe in. We do not accept free hotels or compensated experiences in exchange for favorable coverage. We pay for all of our travels so we can be completely objective.
John & Bev
We created our YouTube channel and website as a way to pivot our lives in retirement toward a new and exciting adventure. We love what we are creating and the personal growth we have gained through working together to create Retirement Travelers. We hope you feel inspired to create a new life for yourselves through world travel. Remember, You are never too old to set a new goal or dream a new dream! (C.S. Lewis)

Bev Martin
Co-founder
Bev majored in Advertising Design and History, but gave up her advertising career to raise our beautiful family. Her passion is travel and showing others the way. She is the creative behind the brand but has also learned the technical aspects of website design, video editing, and brand development. She is a problem solver who creates organizational systems that keep us on track. If you’ve dreamed of traveling somewhere, she’s beat you to it! She’s a dreamer, too!
