Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can have guests stay in your apartment with you. However, due to the large number of guests that are coming and going, they are NOT able to participate in all the included community events. There is a maximum of one additional guest in a one-bedroom apartment, and two additional guests in a two-bedroom apartment.

Our members are all 55 and older. The majority of them are between 60-70. But besides age, what unifies them is a love of travel, an appreciation for different cultures, and an enjoyment that comes from connecting with other people. Approximately 30% of our community members are solo travelers. The exact demographics of each cohort varies.

On average, a cohort has around 16 people, but this varies from group to group. On the low end, a group will have 10 people. At the high end, a group may have 20-24 people.

We love solo travelers! All Good Life Abroad programs are welcoming and inclusive of solo travelers, with built-in community, shared housing, and local support that make it easy to connect.

We do offer exclusive solo traveler only programs, which are designed solely for those arriving on their own. Visit out Solo Traveler Sessions page to learn more about these special programs.

Not necessarily. In some cities, members may have apartments in the same building or cluster of buildings. But in all cities, members live in separate apartments within the same neighborhood.

• Fully-serviced apartment for 30 nights

• Local Community Manager to provide orientation, support, and local knowledge

• Once a week community lunch

• Once a week cultural activity

• Once a week happy hour, including two drinks

• Travel medical insurance

We have created a network of English speaking medical professional near each of our communities. Each of these medical facilities are approved by our travel medical insurance provider.

Every week, at least one community lunch is provided. Often, during excursions a meal may be included. Similarly, most cooking classes end with members eating their creations as part of a community meal.

Yes! When we say "55 and older" it's meant more as a guideline than a rule. Our experiences are optimized for people who are semi-retired or retired - they are not ideal for people who have a full time job and are trying to work remotely. Similarly, our members tend to appreciate the finer things in life and enjoy a balance of fun, educational workshops, and fitness activities.

Yes! You can book for one month now and if you are loving your experience you can extend for another month. The only caveat is that you may need to change apartments for the additional month, depending on availability.
