Two for the Road in 80 Countries

5年,80个国家


In 2013, Michael and DebbieCampbell were a married couple living in Seattle and approaching retirementwith financial trepidation and the looming question:What’s next?

2013年,迈克尔和德比·坎贝尔是一对生活在西雅图的夫妇,他们即将退休,没有太多钱,迫在眉睫的问题是,接下来干什么?


Today, they are the Senior Nomads —travelers who live full-time on the road, staying in Airbnbs around the world.

现在,他们是老年游民——在世界各地的爱彼迎客房辗转,成为全职的旅行者。


They have sold theirhouse in Seattle, and until now have visited a total of 80 countries, spendingan average of $92 a night on lodging (their target in setting out was $90).

他们卖掉了在西雅图的房子,到目前为止已经一共去了80个国家,平均每晚的住宿费用是92美元(他们的目标是90美元)。


They have also become aninspiration to many retirees, who write them emails and, in some cases,have followed their lead.

他们给很多退休人员带来启发,这些人写来电子邮件,有些开始效仿他们。


When asked how long they cankeep this up, Ms. Campbell replied, “We’ve been able to sustain it for fiveyears. We’re not in debt. I’ve crossed over into Social Security land. It turnsout that it’s possible.”

当被问到他们这样的状态能坚持多久时,坎贝尔女士回答道:“我们已经维持五年了。我们没有债务。我已经进入了社会保障领域。事实证明这是有可能的。”
