Darcy Flynn, a 65-year-old lawyer from Washington, DC, retired at 64 to travel more, starting with a two-month trip to Spain. Since then, he has visited various countries, including Gibraltar and Morocco, and engaged in pet sitting and part-time legal work. To supplement his pension, Flynn discovered a job delivering company cars as an independent contractor, allowing him to explore the US while earning money. His experience illustrates how retirement can provide opportunities for adventure and flexible work arrangements.
I decided it was a good time to retire to have the flexibility to travel more.
Having both rented out our homes for a year, we knew we'd need to get creative about where we stayed when we got back.
I found companies that pay to have cars delivered to employees around the country. As an independent contractor, I could pick up a job whenever I wanted.
Over the past nine months, I've spent my time doing one of four things: traveling overseas, visiting my 91-year-old mother, driving around the country, and taking on part-time legal jobs.
