Synopsis
If you’ve ever dreamed of casting off your worldly possessions and traveling to your heart’s content, this story about two intrepid seniors will inspire you no matter your age. Michael and Debbie Campbell felt they had one more adventure in them before considering retirement in the traditional sense, so they filled two rolling duffel bags with life’s essentials (including their own pillows) and hit the road. Three years later, having sold their home in Seattle, their “Senior Nomad” lifestyle has no end in sight. Ride along as they share tales of living full-time in Airbnbs in over 50 countries and pay tribute to the many hosts who not only helped them live daily life, but also offered unique opportunities to experience their cities. From the barber’s chair in Dublin and the dentist’s chair in Split, to a wild motorcycle ride in Athens, a peek behind the Soviet Curtain in Transnistria, and the demise of a chicken for dinner in Marrakech, hosts made the Campbell’s dream of adventure come true. Discover how Debbie and Michael find their next Airbnb, how they get there, and the many ways they enjoy their new city just as the locals do. Learn their tips and tricks for using Airbnb and how they get the most out of each stay, all while spending little more than they would have spent settled into their rocking chairs in Seattle.
About the Author
Married for 38 years, Debbie and Michael Campbell have always loved to travel. They introduced their four children to international travel at a young age by moving the family from Seattle to London in 1986 where they lived for five years. As a young college student, Michael fell in love with Grand Prix Racing, which introduced him to the romance and excitement of European travel. He turned that interest into his own career as a professional racecar driver and world traveler. He went on to a rewarding career in sports marketing where he created dozens of events, including The World Indoor Paper Airplane Championships. Debbie enjoyed a successful career as a graphic designer and copywriter with her own firm, Tip Top Creative, specializing in hospitality, tourism, and events. Now, as Senior Nomads, Michael has taken on the role of Chief Travel Planner while Debbie runs the provisions and entertainment divisions. Over the past three years, they’ve traveled to over 50 countries, 150 cities, and made their home in more than 120 different Airbnbs.
