Hi, I’m Laura. After focusing on a log career as a clinical researcher in the pharmaceutical industry, in 2020, in the midst of the COVID19 Pandemic, I decided I had enough. I retired and began to focus on my passion for travel, photography and many of the things that retirment freedom brings. I have been enjoying traveling the world with my faithful companions: my husband Tom and my fun and often mischevious Pink Bear. Over the years I have gathered lots of information and I created Pink Bear’s Retirement Journey to share travel experiences, cruise adventures, and retirement inspiration.
