The Prices of Wandering
When we both retired a few years ago, we decided to travel as much as we could while we still had our good health. Of course, as a retired couple we didn’t have a huge income, so we started to look for ways to travel on a budget. What we found was an amazing community of travellers who, surprisingly, were not retired at all! So many of the blogs we have read during our research were written by young people (well, younger than us!) who had decided to live their lives another way. Some, like us, like to travel by bike, others by van, motorhome or other means. What we all have in common is a desire to explore the world in a low key way – not staying at fancy resorts and jetting from one local to the next, but spending time getting to know an area and really getting a feel for the communities we encounter.
We began this blog with the thought that it would be nice to share some of our journeys with others and also how we manage our lives, in the hope that someone else might find the inspiration they are looking for to travel. As I said, many of our tours are by bike, but really, each would make a fantastic road trip by car, and many of the destinations could be reached via bus or train, so we hope that you have a look at each one with that in mind. If you are curious about the actual bike tours, I keep a separate blog on Cycleblaze.com and will put links to those much more detailed blogs at the end of each post about a trip.
So, if you are looking for ways to travel, different places to travel, or how to travel on a limited budget, come along with us as we try to figure out the question, “What are the prices of wandering?”
