Hi, we are Joanne and Tony Burke, welcome to our little corner of the web where we share our passion for travel, adventure, and living life to the fullest.
We are, enthusiastic older travellers, who have always loved new adventures, and exploring new places. Our journey is not just about the places we visit; it’s about capturing moments, learning from different cultures, and making memories that last a lifetime.
From the winding roads of Europe to the rugged trails of distant lands, we have always enjoyed exploring the world, experiencing its history, diverse cultures and indulging in the tantalising cuisine on offer.
Join us as we recount our past travels and share our current journeys. From breathtaking landscapes to hidden gems, there is so much to see.
Staying active and healthy is a big part of our lifestyle. As avid Nordic walkers and fitness enthusiasts, we offer tips on staying fit while travelling. Joanne’s 40 years nursing experience makes her eager to share her top health tips for travellers from preventing sunburn to packing the perfect first aid kit.
From marathons and mountain climbing to hiking, trail running and parkrun tourism, we share our experiences and tips for those looking to combine travel with active pursuits. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting out, there’s something here for everyone.
Follow our adventures as we travel in our demountable camper. See our tips for small space living and cooking on the move.
We love connecting with fellow travellers and adventurers. Feel free to comment, share your own experiences, and engage with us on our blog. Let’s inspire each other to explore, stay active, and make every journey memorable, after all Life is for Travelling!
There’s a true art to dressing for outdoor adventures, and as avid walkers, we always abide by the saying: “There’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.” Here’s how to choose wisely to ensure comfort and enjoyment on your walks.
As the leaves start to turn golden and the air becomes crisp, there’s no better to immerse yourself in the season than by grabbing your Nordic walking poles and heading outdoors.
When travelling, encountering wildlife is often part of the adventure. Here’s how you can prepare for and manage these encounters to ensure your travels remain enjoyable.
Our love for travel started even before we met heading off on our own adventures or with our families.
Since we have been together (almost 40 years! ) our passion for travel continued with family trips across Europe, and further afield travelling in Asia, Oceania, North America as well as active adventures to run marathons climb mountains and enjoy some parkrun tourism.
