Can you share your annual travel budget, and how many trips/nights it covers?
We're about to retire and wonder what to budget. Based on past history it looks like CAD$25K/year (18,500 USD) could cover two or three 3-week trips, especially if we use home exchanges to get a free week of accommodation on each trip. We don't travel super cheap anymore, but neither do we splurge.
Older people I knew/know didn't travel much past 75 years old, so in the basic retirement financial plan I'm putting travel expenses in until 75, not inflation adjusted.
I always wanted to travel the world for a year, but now I don't think we'd enjoy it — 3 week vacations seem to work for us. I guess we should have travelled the world in our 20s or 30s, although perhaps we wouldn't have enjoyed it then, either.
