What happens after the job title fades? In this episode of The Matt Feret Show, Matt talks with Andrew Motiwalla, founder of The Good Life Abroad, about rethinking retirement as an opportunity for connection, growth, and purpose.
Drawing on 30+ years in travel, Andrew shares how immersive, month-long stays abroad help adults 55+ move beyond traditional tourism into deeper cultural experiences and meaningful community. The conversation explores “joy span”—the idea of extending fulfillment and vitality later in life—along with the challenges of loneliness, identity shifts, and finding direction after full-time work.
They also touch on practical considerations like cost, safety, and healthcare, while emphasizing that you don’t have to travel far to build a more intentional, connected life.
If you’re wondering what’s next—or how to make the most of it—this episode offers a fresh perspective on living well in the second half of life.
