Reinventing Life Through Slow Travel

Real stories of travel, reinvention, and living fully β€” later in life.

About This Blog/Newsletter

Reinventing Life Through Slow Travel is a personal travel and lifestyle blog created to share real-world experiences of slow travel, living abroad, and starting over later in life.

After living and traveling across seven countries on four continents, this blog documents the emotional, cultural, and practical realities of travel beyond tourism β€” especially for midlife travelers, retirees, and those seeking a more intentional way of living.

This is not a luxury travel blog.


It is an experience-based platform focused on meaningful travel, long stays, cultural immersion, and lifestyle freedom.

πŸ‘‹ RUTH HERE!

I am a retired professional who spent decades in corporate life before choosing a very different path.

After losing our home due to economic circumstances, my husband and I rebuilt our lives through travel β€” living in multiple countries, adapting to new cultures, and discovering that life after loss can still be rich, fulfilling, and adventurous.

This blog exists to document that journey and to help others who may be considering a similar path later in life.

  • People considering long-term or slow travel
