This trip is being organized by Carl Landau, (and his wife Diana), host of the popular I Used to be Somebody podcast and newsletter. This tour was created with our friends at Taste Vacations. 

Just like our show, this adventure is targeting people that are planning to or are recently retiring from their career job. But they don’t want to retire, they want to do something NEW, something more FUN and something more MEANINGFUL. We call this (Un)Retirement!

This is your opportunity to network with creative people just like you, as you begin this new phase of your life. Plus, you get to do this while experiencing the beauty, history, and culture of Italy. Did we mention the amazing food and wine tasting too? (Max size group is 20.)

Three one-hour, lively, educational “I Used to be Somebody” sessions are included in the tour to make your trip complete. (Check with your tax advisor regarding the possibility of a tax deduction for this educational experience.)

Topics include:

  1. Who are you? When you were “someone”, what did you do and where are you in planning or implementing of your new “(Un)Retirement” stage of life?
  2. The 8 secrets to a Successful (Un)Retirement Life.
  3. Plan your (Un)Retirement post-trip, with accountability markers.

(Sipping Italian wine might help to make the discussions even better!)
