What Freedom Feels Like—According to Our Readers
"We talked about moving to Europe, but didn't really know how. There's a ton of info out there about how, some of it correct, some not, some is very outdated. But Silver Nomads took the mystery out of it all and gave us a path to follow. As I write, our flights are next week!"

"A divorce in my late fifties left me worried I'd struggle to afford a comfortable retirement. But now I've discovered a bunch of places where the quality of life is fantastic AND affordable. I just needed the right guidance. It's even allowing me to retire a few years early!"
—Robyn Cain

"I'm not sure why I didn't consider overseas retirement earlier. It's probably because I thought it'd be too complex. While it isn't like 'falling off a log', I absolutely see it's possible. I've followed my plan, and now I'm just waiting for my residence visa approval for Thailand."

Meet The Couple Empowering American Retirees to
Create Their Dream Overseas Retirements...
Terry Ladd and Christina Stormson are both serial entrepreneurs... currently executing their own dream overseas retirement in Barcelona, Spain with their 90# golden doodle, Donovan.
Over the years, like so many others before them, they'd dreamed of living and traveling in Europe. But they realized if they didn't do it now, they might never get the chance. The question was, how does someone actually 'move to Europe'?
So they did what they always do - they geeked out. Terry did a deep dive on how overseas retirement works, and Christina focused on how what's involved in securing a second citizenship and passport. Thousands of research hours later, they are experts, and in the middle of their own overseas retirement adventure in Barcelona.
They're now on a mission to share their knowledge about overseas retirement, making it simpler, easier, and faster for Silver Nomads to create and execute their own dream overseas retirement plans.
"Our mission is to serve American explorers and risk takers in their 50s and 60s who are committed to lifelong learning, embracing change, and experiencing as much of the world as possible."
