E41 Retiring in Durham, North Carolina with a stopover in the Peace Corps

E41 Retiring in Durham, North Carolina with a stopover in the Peace Corps

Does your younger self wish you had joined the Peace Corps? Well, it’s not too late, David and Champa Jarmul did so for two years while in their 60s! For them, it was a “life changing experience.”  David’s book on the couple’s service in the Peace Corps titled Not Exactly Retired: A Life-Changing Journey on the Road and in the Peace Corps is inspirational! Champa’s article about their service is here. They are back in the states, enjoying life, while continuing to give back in Durham, North Carolina. The couple’s blog can be found here.

In July 2021, Raleigh/Durham was named the second best place to live in the United States by U.S. New and World Report. Find out more, on Episode 41 of Retire There with Gil & Gene.
