Modelling in 60s

Sheila, a mother of three and grandmother of four is an atypical 63-year-old who after more than 50 years of living in Australia and working in Banking & Sales, decided to move out and shifted to Bali four years back. A chance encounter with a friend explained to her the details of getting a retirement visa for a new country and Sheila with her husband sold everything they had in the span of the next 3 weeks and boarded a one-way ticket towards Bali.

Shifting to a new country may not be a practical solution for everyone. One must understand their financial plans and savings before taking such a jump. But Sheila and her husband's decision is commendable as well as courageous. Shifting so far out of your comfort zone is unthinkable.

Sheila explains how we do not rediscover ourselves mostly due to our own inhibitions and societal expectations. But if you overcome your initial dilemma, you might be able to live your life to the fullest even in 60s. "Many people called us crazy! Many said we were acting like teenagers!! But we asked ourselves why not??", says Sheila.
