Today Patty welcomes an extraordinary pair, Alastair Henry and Candas Whitlock, a couple who chose to live adventurously beyond their 60s. After retiring, they embarked on extensive volunteering and budget backpacking trips instead of settling down. They discuss their motivations for writing books to share their experiences and encourage others to volunteer and explore the world, regardless of age. Their adventures took them to remote communities in Canada, international volunteering in places like Bangladesh and Guyana, and backpacking through Central and Southeast Asia. They talk about the joy and fulfillment found in helping others, adapting to different cultures, and living minimally.
