How Can Fifty Plus Nomad Help You Become a Successful Extended Round the World Traveler and Expat
Fifty Plus Nomad strives to become the ultimate community of successful extended travelers and expats over 50.
Unlike many people, I (Paul Heller, Founder of Fifty Plus Nomad) achieved my greatest dream. Even as a kid, I dreamed of dedicating my life to living in other countries and long-term, round-the-world travel.
Over my lifetime, I have:
- Lived abroad for eight years of my life. (I currently live in Merida, Mexico)
- Visited 85 countries and spent more than eight years as a student, volunteer, teacher, and traveler.
I want to inspire others to follow in my footsteps and equip them to successfully travel long-term (including the US) and live abroad.
To further this mission, I have compiled thousands of valuable resources and tips during my nearly sixteen years living and traveling outside the US. I hope these tips will inspire and teach you how to see the world as joyfully as l did and help you avoid some of my costly mistakes and frustrations.
Now, I just need your participation to make my mission come true.
