Are you looking for an out-of-the-ordinary retirement living experience? If you are, I heard about one the other day that you're going to find pretty hard to beat!
Vic and Ann Zurek are, originally, both from the UK but they met each other in Australia many years ago. They raised a family and, once the kids had grown up and left home, they started to think about early retirement... but they wanted a retirement with a difference. It took five years of research before they found a lifestyle that ticked all their boxes but the good news is, they have no intentions of keeping it to themselves as they've turned their dream into a unique, not for profit, retirement option for over-fifties. This is what they say about it:
"About five years ago we enjoyed a voyage aboard a huge Indonesian sailing vessel for three weeks. It was our best vacation ever, with only four suites on the boat, more crew than passengers taking care of our every need, anchoring in the most beautiful spots, pristine beaches, dinner ashore, and nobody for miles around. Sailing from island to island, experiencing different cultures on each, friendly locals, it was most idyllic time we have experienced.
We dreamed of doing this round the Pacific and beyond, so for the last five years we have researched how it could be done. Not only how it could be done, but how to do it for the rest of our lives. We found it is possible, to live life in luxury on a pensioners budget and see the world at the same time."
