Nor had I ever heard the phrase "grey nomads." What an interesting idea. And here I'd been thinking my retirement might involve moving from boring suburbia to the heart of some fun city. But this ones sounds even more appealing, both the travel and the opportunity to leave your mark on the communities you visit. Thanks for sharing this cool story, Beatrix--I'll be passing it on as well.

(And I fell in love with the public libraries, (the wide range of books, magazines and the great readers there) in the tiny villages! They really made up with the awful bookstores in many cities and the staff there who didn't know anything about Australian writers).<br />Thanks Heidi, for announcing my travel book! I will send you the link as soon as my agency gives it free.<br />lots of good wishes from Austria<br />trixibeatrix kramlovskyhttp://www.kramlovsky.atnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018311341701044333.post-4879636439493899992013-04-14T22:17:52.785-04:002013-04-14T22:17:52.785-04:00As an Aussie, I've met quite a few grey haired...As an Aussie, I've met quite a few grey haired nomads over the years and my hubby and I have often talked about selling up everything one day and just travelling. We've done that when our children were small and loved it. I truly hope we get the chance to do it again (before our hair is grey!). Interesting about the government pairing up nomads with communities. I never even knew this existed! I hope they find a way to continue this program as it is a wonderful idea. Thanks so much for this lovely post, Beatrix!Alli Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363202163419352155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018311341701044333.post-62880928404549201742013-04-14T18:21:25.947-04:002013-04-14T18:21:25.947-04:00My husband and I have been talking a lot about doi...My husband and I have been talking a lot about doing something similar in the US. For now, we content ourselves with a few trips a year, but once the kids are all through college and we retire, we may find ourselves on the road a lot more. It's reassuring to hear of people doing this in Australia. The issue in the US would, of course, come down to health care.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this, Beatrix. It's great food for thought, and I will pass the post on to my husband. :)<br /><br />JenniJenni Legatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293328492974784160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018311341701044333.post-70485716392771681582013-04-14T11:39:52.787-04:002013-04-14T11:39:52.787-04:00Beatrix,
