At 52, after covid, my wife and I took 12 months leave without pay to caravan around Australia. 6 months in, we realised just how much we enjoyed it, and that 12 months was not even going to scratch the surface. We were both able to return to work 3 days a week, working remotely from the caravan. 3 days is a perfect fit for us to maintain our lifestyle, keep topping up our super, and continue to explore this great country. We are just about to start year four and have no desire to stop. And for those thinking about it, there is so much work out there to pick up as you travel. You never know, you might discover a new career path!

At 60 l started reducing my days, now at 65 l am about to go from a 7 day fortnight to a 4 day one. Every time l reduced a day it made such a big impact on my life and wellbeing.

This is the biggest cut back.

My work is very physical but l love what l do and feel l can keep going for another 5 years by cutting down hours as needed.
