RetiredAndTravelling Travel Blog

We are RetiredAndTravelling around the world.  When we semi-retired early, it gave us the opportunity to travel about 6 months of the year in multiple trips.  Our trips included both cruising travel and land-based travel spots.  Some are short long weekend breaks.  But we also cover longer trips that cover multiple cities and countries for 30 to 60 days.  

When we travel we love to explore towns and nature spots.  Adventure travel gets our blood moving.  And we have been known to travel for food, wine tasting and to splurge on Afternoon Tea.

Our travel blog posts are in-depth and filled with pictures.  Travel summaries provide an overview of trips with links to the detailed posts.  We always try to offer travel tips to help you plan and enjoy the experiences when you travel.

We hope the RetiredAndTravelling travel blog will help to fuel your travel wanderlust!

Oceania Travel

Travel blog posts about Oceania travel. On land this included road trips and city stays. By sea this will include cruise ship travels.

Oceania travel included travel in 3 different regions:

1)  Australia – including Tasmania

2)  New Zealand

3)  South Pacific Islands 

Travel to-date included trips by land and air through Australia.  Sydney and Cairns were used as bases to explore these two areas and multiple activities.

We planned to cruise around Australia and catch many of the major cities.  This cruise was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  At the time our Australia cruise is re-booked, we will plan our travels around New Zealand either as a land trip or on a cruise.

At this time, we have not travelled to the South Pacific Islands.  But as scuba divers, the South Pacific is high on our travel wish list
