3 months abroad. Your own pace. People around when you want them.
Built for solo travellers. No single supplement.
"I've been looking for this for 10 years. Nothing spoke to me until DECADES."
— Kay, 65, Worcestershire
With months to play with, this will feel like living abroad – time to settle in, establish your rituals (from your favourite coffee spot to yoga class) and properly unpack.
6-12 people we select. Everyone 50+ and good craic. Explore what interests you, then join them for dinner to debrief afterwards. If you fancy.
You know what you like – this is very much your trip. We sort accommodation, travel days, and weekly time together for an adventure of sorts. Other than that, the time's your own.
One of our people on WhatsApp for backup locally and to help with logistics – stays, travel days, whatever comes up. Otherwise, you're left to your own devices.
Solo travellers in their 50s, 60s and 70s who know exactly how they like to travel. With a backpack, without the hostels.

Likes mountains, red wine, and her own room.
"You're only young once. I just thought I would do it and it's been really special so far."

Retired English teacher. Goes for a run the morning she lands.
"I couldn't believe it when I saw the ad — I was so excited I couldn't sleep!"

Six-week solo trips, motor homes, trains. Wants somewhere he can't read the signs.
"It's been really luxurious versus my expectations."



You've spent decades building a life. Now it's yours. Here's why Laura started DECADES.
It’s perfect for retirees or semi-retirees (anyone 50+) looking for a low-stress way to travel the world, challenge themselves and form new friendships. This is about enjoying travel at a slower pace with more meaningful experiences.
Plenty! Generally, we schedule one outing per week. The rest of the time is yours—explore independently, rest, or socialise at your own pace. We heard that group tours were leaving you rushed and by half way through, too tired to enjoy it properly… but you’ve got all the time in the world! We designed DECADES to deliberately slow things down, let you immerse and explore at your very own pace.
No. You’ll sort your international flights to our destination - that means you can travel how you like, with the airline you prefer and from an airport that works for you.Once you’re with us though, we’ll organise all of the internal transport within each region. Side trips beyond the set itinerary are at your own cost to give you the freedom to create the trip you want!
We select places with stable infrastructures, strong tourism track records, and trusted local partners for volunteering. We stay in safer neighbourhoods or towns for extra peace of mind.
We choose villa-style accommodation or hotels and have a stringent checklist of: beautiful design, air conditioning, swimming pool, lovely shared space to hang out in and a well-tooled kitchen so you can cook for yourselves if you choose to. It also has to be within reach of a town or city that means you have loads to explore during your month there - from all the things you’d expect like museums, cafés and restaurants, beautiful gardens, as much as a gym for those inclined.
Couples and friends can share rooms, solo travellers get their own (or can choose to opt for a shared room if they want to!) and our guide also has a private room (sometimes that’ll be with you, sometimes somewhere nearby depending on the accommodation we choose for you).
Easy, just book a discovery call here. We'll have a quick chat about the trip you're interested in before you place a £250 deposit. We'll send you a link to the application form. Fill it out, be as detailed as you can so we can learn all about you. That helps us create the right group of amazing individuals which has a good balance. Once approved (usually within a few days), a first payment guarantees your place, with the remainder paid in instalments before departure.
