Associated Press reports on The Good Life Abroad's Seed Funding
Associated Press has reported that The Good Life Abroad, a San Diego-based startup specializing in short-term, community-focused international living experiences for retirees, has secured seed funding. This strategic investment will enable the company to expand its senior living accommodations across Europe, catering to the growing demand from North American seniors seeking 1-3 month stays in desirable European locations.
A significant part of this expansion involves a partnership with Ukio, a leading provider of fully furnished homes across Europe. This collaboration will provide a diverse selection of high-quality, flexible apartment rentals for senior residents. The company’s commitment to exceptional customer service is reflected in their 4.8-star rating from past participants, showcasing high guest satisfaction.
The Good Life Abroad’s innovative approach has also earned recognition from Fast Company’s 2024 World Changing Ideas award, highlighting their impact on reshaping senior wellness through community-based travel. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 10,000 Americans turn 65 every day, a trend expected to continue for at least a decade. This demographic shift presents a substantial opportunity to offer a "digital nomad" experience to older travelers.
Founder Andrew Motiwalla notes, “Travelers aged 55 and older are the fastest-growing demographic segment, and now they have a safe and simple way to enjoy upscale international living with a built-in community.” As the company expands its European footprint, they plan to partner with property managers in the medium-term rental market, providing senior-friendly accommodations and contributing to industry growth.
