I’ve officially reached pension age! Join me as I reflect on hitting the big 66 and share exactly what this milestone means for the future of Andrew & Karen’s Travels. 🎂🎉
In today's video, I’m sitting down for a personal update on a major life transition: reaching 66 and officially becoming a pensioner. It’s a moment of reflection, looking back at the journey so far and, more importantly, looking forward to the adventures still to come.

Whether you're approaching retirement yourself or just love a good travel adventure, I hope this update inspires you to see that life really does begin at 66!
