Travel Dine Stay - Sal Wayne Schmidt

A Travelling (Un)Retirement Adventure

Updated: May 22

I was recently featured in an episode of the podcast I Used to be Somebody, hosted by Carl Landau.


This opportunity was the perfect moment to reflect on my career and personal journey and connect with an audience eager to redefine retirement and embark on fulfilling second acts.


Anyone who loves to travel has probably wondered what it would be like to explore the entire world. I've had that thought, but who follows through with it? Well, let me tell you about our journey.


In 2017, my wife Sally and I took a leap of faith. We quit our jobs in Australia, sold our house, cars, and worldly possessions, and set out to experience life as global travellers. Here we are, 92 countries later, living what we call the (un)retirement dream.



I've made every mistake possible, but I have no regrets. Over time, we've figured out a lifestyle that works for us as "Digital Nomads."


We work 2.5 days a week, offering a unique business model by providing marketing consulting for ten accounting firms. And the rest? Well, that's reserved for adventure.


It's been a crazy eight years filled with unforgettable experiences, and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
