The Good Life Abroad

14/06/2026

You haven’t seen Spain until you’ve seen the Basque Country. 🇪🇸✨

There’s a reason we tell our community that this region is essential. It’s not just a different province, it’s a completely unique world. From the industrial-chic "heart" of the region in Bilbao to the coastal elegance of San Sebastian, the Basque Country offers a soul you won’t find anywhere else.

Are you ready to live the Good Life in Northern Spain?

If Sardinia has been sitting at the top of your travel bucket list, this is your sign to finally make it happen.🇮🇹

Historically, getting to this stunning Italian island meant navigating multiple connections or coordinating ferry schedules. But here is the ultimate game-changer: Delta now operates direct, nonstop flights from the US (JFK) straight to Sardinia. (The service runs through the summer months until October) You can step onto a plane in New York and wake up surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean.

Our TGLA community calls Cagliari home, Sardinia's vibrant capital. It's the ultimate slow-travel destination where you can unpack once and truly settle into the rhythm of island life. Think morning strolls through historic hilltop neighborhoods, fresh seafood lunches by the marina, and afternoon dips in some of the most beautiful turquoise waters in Europe.

You get your own private apartment, a built-in community of active travelers, and the freedom to explore at your own pace, now with a seamless flight to get you there.

Different cities, same unforgettable feeling. 🌍✨

A huge congratulations to all of our incredible communities that are wrapping up (or just wrapped up!) their month-long residencies across Europe.

Looking through these group photos, it’s amazing to see how a group of travelers can arrive in a brand-new city as strangers and leave weeks later as a tight-knit family. They unpacked once, dove deep into the local culture, and made the world feel a little bit smaller.

Cheers to the memories made in:
🇳🇱 Amsterdam
🇮🇹 Cagliari
🇵🇹 Lisbon
🇬🇧 London
🇫🇷 Nice
🇫🇷 Paris
🇭🇷 Split
🇪🇸 Valencia
🇦🇹 Vienna

To everyone who joined us for this chapter: Thank you for bringing your curiosity, warmth, and sense of adventure to the community. Until the next destination! 🥂

If you ask us, the best way to truly understand a culture is through its food. 🍝✨ Discover a slower, richer way to see (and taste) the world. Learn more about our program destinations:https://thegoodlifeabroad.com/signature?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social-media&utm_campaign=jun26p6

New cities. New flavors. Same Good Life. 🍷🍝

We’re heading to Bilbao and Bologna! We chose these icons of European culture for three simple reasons:

Unmatched Food Scenes (Pintxos vs. Pasta, anyone?)
Deep Traditions
Living History

Whether you want to get lost in the medieval streets of Italy or explore the modern soul of Spain, your seat at the table is waiting.

Explore Bilbao. Discover Bologna. Experience both. ✈️

The wait is over. Welcome to Bilbao and Bologna. 🇪🇸🇮🇹

We are thrilled to officially add these two iconic cities to The Good Life Abroad calendar for 2027.

📍 Bilbao, Spain: A masterpiece of transformation. From the stunning Guggenheim to the vibrant pintxos culture of the Casco Viejo, Bilbao offers a sophisticated, walkable lifestyle in the heart of the Basque Country.

📍 Bologna, Italy: Known as "La Dotta, La Grassa, e La Rossa" This is Italy’s culinary soul. Spend a month under the historic porticos, exploring ancient markets, and experiencing the authentic rhythm of Emilia-Romagna.

Both residencies are now open for registration. As always, spots are limited to ensure a close-knit community experience.

We love hearing from our community, and Pat’s recap of her month in Lisbon completely blew us away. For Pat, this journey was all about fulfilling bucket-list dreams right now, because life is simply too short to wait.

One of her favorite parts of the experience? The perfect balance of autonomy and community. She had the total independence to follow her own agenda, mixed with intentional mid-week group connections when she wanted them.

Pat left Lisbon feeling deeply enriched, fulfilled, and surprised by beauty every single day. Thank you for sharing your journey with us! ✨🇵🇹

There is a common misconception that travel is only about checking boxes, ticking off bucket-list items, and moving as quickly as possible from one destination to the next. But in our haste to see everything, we often end up experiencing very little.

If you are ready to trade frantic sightseeing for meaningful connection, this blog by founder, Andrew Motiwalla, explores why slowing down is the only way to truly arrive at your destination. You can read the full perspective here:

Tired of whirlwind trips and missed connections? The Good Life Abroad offers adults 55+ a month-long way to truly inhabit European cities — not just visit them.
