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!

Where are we now?

We enjoyed 8 days in Barcelona and then a cruise with Oceania Cruises for 12 days through Spain, the Canary Islands and into Portugal on our return trip to Spain and Portugal.  We landed in Lisbon and now will enjoy travelling around the country for almost 5 weeks.  We are so excited to finally to be back in Portugal again!

Our second stay in Portugal is in the Algarve at the great Pine Cliffs Resort.  We are enjoying a relaxing stay and exploring along the coast.

Follow along on social media as we travel.

Continuing to publish the backlog of travel posts we had in “draft”.  We hope this will help to keep you thinking about travel.  And planning your next escapes for when you feel it is safe to travel again.  Please stay healthy and safe!

Blog posts have NOT been updated to reflect the reality of travelling during the Covid-19 Pandemic.  Please make sure to check travel advisories before you make any travel plans.  And check regularly.  Travel directives can change regularly.
