Today we learn if Travel, Adventure, and even Van Life are possible for the older generation and also why you shouldn’t wait until you retire to begin your dream adventure!

It’s no secret that many of us dream of the promised freedom that is offered later in life during retirement when work is no longer a burden. In this video, we are sitting down with Tom Summers to discuss Life 2.0 and what it’s like to travel and have adventures later in life.
