A Middle Aged Adventure
In 2016 my husband and I decided to take a risk and do something a little different.
We sold our home and purchased a motorhome. We gave up our comfortable lifestyle and set off driving around Europe for extended trips partly to inspire my art, partly to experience our amazing world. The sense of freedom was contagious.
We loved seeing beautiful places, meeting interesting people and learning about different cultures. As a prolific photographer, I just couldn’t stop myself clicking away at crusty buildings, lakes, mountains, reflections, reflections and more reflections; so much inspiration for my art and a lot of it seems to be from water. I realise that I have something of an obsession with water, it can be calming, exhilarating, thought provoking and whether it be a lake, loch, river or the sea, there is something about being near water that I love. After driving to many European destinations we started to think about some further afield places such as Alaska, South America, Australia and Asia.
Not exactly backpacking, you might say 'flashpacking', but definitely still on a budget.
Aiming to inspire other people to experience different cultures and countries.
For us, it took family bereavements to serve as a reminder to live a little and not to let life pass us by. Life is for living................
We've blogged about our ‘Middle Aged Adventure’ as we travelled and you can follow our trips on Facebook/amiddleagedadventure also Instagram and youtube. You will also see there a lot of the photographs I take that eventually find their way into my artworks.
We have a very informative website to help you to plan your own adventures or just to see our inspiring photographs and videos from around the world.
