Approaching retirement and frustrated with her job, Siobhan Daniels made a BIG decision: to start living life on her own terms. Rather than hiding from life’s challenges, she bought a motorhome and drove off to find them.

Retirement Rebel is Siobhan’s honest and uplifting story of how one woman stepped off the merry-go-round of life, slowed down, and started enjoying the journey. It tells the tale of how she sold up, packed up, and hit the roads of the UK with no real plan, embarking on a positive-ageing adventure. She hopes to inspire women across the country with her message that retirement could actually be the start of life’s adventures.

With no shortage of mishaps and hardships along the way—not least being commanded to ‘stay at home’ during the Covid lockdowns, despite always being at home wherever she was—Siobhan’s story can inspire us all. Her message is that we can make simple lifestyle changes to feel happier and more fulfilled. Because at the end of the day, age shouldn’t be a barrier to having an adventure.
