Making Memories with Every Mile

Welcome to Life is for Travelling!

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.
