Have you hit your 50s and thought - 'is this it?'
Good news: it's absolutely not.
Grab your free Golden Gap Year Starter Pack and discover how to have a grown-up gap year in your 50s - without waiting for retirement, without quitting your life and without putting yourself last for one more day.
You've spent decades showing up for everyone else.
The career. The family. The responsibilities. The doing what needed to be done.
And somewhere along the way - you stopped saying yes to yourself.
Maybe you're watching retirement inch closer and wondering if the best years are already behind you.
Maybe you're looking around at women your age on the same treadmill and thinking - there has to be more than this.
Maybe you've been quietly dreaming of more travel, more adventure, more life - but keep filing it under ‘one day’.
One day has to be now.
Hi, I'm Fee - and a few years ago I hit my 50s and thought the same thing.
Which felt strange. Because I had lived. Really lived. I'd worked and travelled in 32+ countries. I'd landed in places with nothing but a return ticket and $50 in my pocket. I'd built a career as a glassblower and designer travelling the world.
But somewhere along the way, life got serious - and I stopped.
So I created the Golden Gap Year.
Not a gap year in the traditional sense. Not quitting everything and backpacking. But a conscious, deliberate decision to stop waiting for retirement and start collecting memories, experiences and adventures right now.
Through what I call TEA Fixes - Travel, Experiences and Adventure - woven into everyday life. Daily. Weekly. Monthly. Quarterly.
And this Starter Pack is where your golden gap year begins.
Everything you need to design a grown-up gap year
- starting right now.
What others have said...
“Each month has a theme centred around a different city or country. This month, we’re in Vietnam. There are recipes to try, walking tours to explore virtually, a film and a book set in Vietnam and a monthly fitness challenge. It’s the kind of membership that reminds you the world is enormous and there’s always something new to discover - even from your own sofa on a Tuesday evening.”
- Katie, Golden Gap Year Club member
“Being part of the Golden Gap Year Club reminds me to live life and to plan something in, even if it’s just trying a new recipe. Life is happening now and there are beautiful ways to meet it where you are.”
- Lisa, Golden Gap Year Club member
