What a time to be alive! You can’t wait for that day to travel across the globe, and enjoy the beauty that is the world. You no longer worry about taking a vacation leave or going back to work the following week. The only thing in your mind is your next travel destination, places to go, people to meet, moments to capture. Yep, that’s you!

With time in your hands and your retirement money at your disposal, you are going to get the best out of your retirement years! Take out your travel bucket list and start ticking them off. Be a tourist in your own land and add the gorgeous places in the Philippines to your checklist. You can find the most beautiful island beaches in the world in El Nido, Palawan. Take a trip to the picturesque island of Batanes and fall in love with its beautiful landscapes and stone houses. Or get your adrenaline running with the breathtakingly beautiful rushing waterfall at Badian, Cebu.

Retirement brings you that nostalgic state of being back home - whether home means a place or a person. You want to spend your retirement years being casual, mellow, and free full of activities renovating your space and spending with your loved ones.

Make de-cluttering the home space your first activity and put a bit of improved decors you made yourself to make a cosy ambiance.  You can check online sites that offers do-it-yourself activities for home improvement. This relaxing activity will give you joy and fulfilment. After de-cluttering, your next project will involve planning and hosting your family’s next house festivity!

Lending a hand empowers you and now that you have time in your hands, you simply want to give more for your community. Sharing time and effort for others or to make a positive impact is the best way to spend your retirement days.

Check out charitable event schedules near your area. Are you a true animal-lover? Support animal welfare programs to learn how you can protect them like safe fishing methods for dolphin conservation, responsible pet ownership, or spend a day with rescued animals at the shelter. Do you want to do your part in earth conservation? Get involved with environmental projects protecting our habitat and natural resources. Some of these programs involve out of town travels that you too can find enjoying.

You have a list of hobbies you want to try out. You also have an inclination to share your talent and experience to everyone. These are things that brings out your creative child and retirement will be the best time to enrol in as many classes as you can to harness it. In between oil painting and acting classes, you would squeeze in a couple hours writing your memoir to tell the world the wonderful life you have been given and life lessons gained from your experiences.
