I enjoyed this book and I think it would be a fun and interesting gift idea for anyone retiring! This was gifted to me by a friend when I retired from teaching about 18 months ago. When it was given to me I skipped around a bit, reading a few chapters here and there but did not read the entire book until now. This book is organized with chapters based on categories/topics, so it's easy to use as a reference and easy to find what you might be interested in exploring. For example, there are chapters on food experiences, travel, water activities/experiences, volunteering, etc. The author has a friendly, light hearted voice and the text is very reader friendly. I'm rating this 4 stars rather than 5 simply because I do think in a few years parts of the book and recommendations made here by the author would need to be updated, but this book also gives the reader ideas about places and activities that would be easy to look up online with regard to updated info.
