About Us
Welcome to The Working Traveller Shop, where smart, stylish, and practical tools help you plan, document, and thrive as a 50+ nomad.
Whether you’re already on the road or still dreaming of your escape, this shop is designed for you—the adventurer who wants to travel in comfort, stay organized, and maybe even turn wanderlust into a profitable lifestyle.
Why I Created This Shop
I’m Jo Barnes, a lifelong traveller, entrepreneur, and passionate advocate for the 50+ nomad movement.
I’ve spent over 14 years exploring the world while running online businesses, and I know firsthand how freeing—and sometimes overwhelming—this lifestyle can be.
The excitement of waking up in a new country, the joy of immersing yourself in different cultures, the thrill of knowing your time is your own—it’s an incredible way to live.
But it also comes with its challenges: staying organized, managing finances, maintaining routines, and figuring out how to fund the journey sustainably.
That’s why I created The Working Traveller Shop—to provide essential tools for the modern nomad, designed specifically for people like us who value flexibility, freedom, and comfort.
The 50+ Nomad Movement: More of Us Than Ever Before
For too long, the travel and digital nomad industry has focused on twenty-somethings with backpacks and Wi-Fi-hunting remote workers in co-working cafes.
But the reality is that more of us over 50 are traveling full-time than ever before. We have the experience, the curiosity, and often the financial flexibility to make this lifestyle work—but we’re still largely overlooked.
I believe it’s time for that to change. The Working Traveller Shop is built for the growing wave of 50+ explorers who are redefining what midlife and beyond can look like.
Whether you’re transitioning into retirement, building a location-independent income, or simply taking a long-overdue break to see the world, my goal is to equip you with the tools you need to do it smartly, comfortably, and with confidence.
What You’ll Find Here
Every product in this shop is carefully curated or designed with the 50+ nomad in mind:
- Journals & Planners – Keep track of your travels, plan your adventures, and stay organized on the road.
- Smart Travel Tools – Essential accessories that make life easier, from portable organizers to must-have gear.
- Resources for Nomadic Living – Coming soon: digital guides, checklists, and more to help you transition into the lifestyle smoothly.
This isn’t just a shop—it’s part of The Working Traveller community, where we celebrate the freedom, adventure, and possibilities that come with midlife travel.
I’m here to help you create a full and free life, whether that means documenting your experiences, planning your next destination, or finding ways to sustain your journey financially.
If you’re ready to embrace the world on your terms, you’re in the right place.
