Can eSIM technology transform your travel experience for good? In the 26th episode of "Travels with Jim and Rita," we celebrate a significant milestone by sharing the tech and travel hacks that have shaped our journey over the past six months. From the game-changing convenience of eSIMs and Global Entry passes to the luxury of airport lounges, we reveal the tools that have made our globe-trotting life more manageable. Also, get a sneak peek into our upcoming 70-day tour of Eastern Europe and join us in reminiscing about our near-miss adventures, from botched camper van rentals to unreliable ride-sharing apps.
Let's talk money! Financial planning can be a daunting task for traveling retirees, but we break it down by sharing our personal strategies that have kept us afloat. Discover how pet sitting through Trusted House Sitting keeps our accommodation costs near zero and how we've turned our house sale proceeds into a steady income through high-yield savings accounts. We also shed light on the challenges of managing rental properties from afar and the shifting dynamics of the housing market, underscoring the need for flexibility and careful planning in an unpredictable world.
Logistics can make or break long-term travel, and we’re not holding back on the nitty-gritty details. From the hassles of mail forwarding and credit card woes to the complexities of storing or selling household goods and vehicles, we share it all. Don't miss our reflections on navigating international ride-share services and our excitement for future travel plans. Plus, tune in for details about our appearance at the International Living Ultimate Go Overseas Boot Camp in Las Vegas this October. Come along for the ride as we celebrate our journey and look forward to what's next!
