We’re Elaine and Derek, and it’s our mission to help you start getting maximum enjoyment and value from your travel by sharing the invaluable experience and tips we’ve learned the hard way while exploring over 50 countries.
We’re Baby Boomers, and maybe you can relate: the kids are out of the house and at last, you have the time and the desire to travel. You don’t want to miss a thing. But, where to go? We’re here to help.
Start Now
The tips below are shown in the natural sequence we all use to get started: deciding what we want, where to go, how to go, what to take and so on. Just click on the images below to get going.
How To Get Maximum Enjoyment and Value From Your Travel
The planning process can be fun if you approach it thoughtfully (and together with your fellow traveler/s if possible). Deciding what you want will help you find the destinations and the travel philosophy that suits you (and don’t miss our bucket lists!).
Then get practical with our tips on shopping around. We know, as we get older, that we’re no longer in a backpacking mindset or into lugging heavy suitcases up many flights of stairs, so follow our planning checklists for packing, what to take and so on.
While you’re here, please sign up for our free newsletter which passes on special tips and values, plus our unique Bucket List Builder, which will help you and your travel partner get it all together.
Have fun, and when in doubt, CHOOSE ADVENTURE
Derek and Elaine
