Our Story: 50+ couple with a mid-range travel budget

We are a middle-aged couple (in our 50s) who call Canada home. We love to travel, but we also love coming home to family, friends, and our pup, Penny.

We downsized to a “lock and leave” home in 2017, retired in 2021 and now have time and the opportunity to see new places on our timeline.
We are sharing our travels here as a way to record our experiences and to share travel tips we have learned. We have a mid-range budget for travel.

All of the blog’s photos were taken by us during our adventures. We love planning trips and seeing new places. So far, we have been to 47 new countries. We enjoy trying new places and modes of transportation too. We are happy to answer any travel questions you might have.

I took my first plane ride at 6 months of age and I have never looked back! I met my husband because of a travel photo. Together, we have travelled to 47 countries; some for a day and some for a couple of years! We love to share what we have learned along the way to make travel easier for those of us who are middle-aged with mid-range budgets.
