4. Tour Guide or Museum Docent – Share Your Passion

If you live near historical sites, museums, parks, or tourist attractions, working as a tour guide or docent can be deeply fulfilling.

These roles allow you to share knowledge, interact with visitors, and stay active. Many museums rely heavily on retirees who bring enthusiasm and storytelling skills.

Tour guide work often includes:

• Short walking tours

• Seasonal availability

• Part-time scheduling

It’s especially appealing for retirees who enjoy public speaking and local history.

Rather than feeling like “work,” it often feels like conversation with curious guests.
