About
Welcome to Adventure and Retire!
This is where we explore the world, one unforgettable journey at a time.
Hi, I’m Elaine! I love travelling with my husband, and sometimes, the whole family joins the fun. We’re a family that lives for the joy of travel.
Here, I share our real travel stories—the unforgettable moments, the unexpected hiccups, and everything in between—so you can confidently plan your adventures.
We’re retired and living our dream: travelling the world, one adventure at a time.
Why did I start my blog?
I want to share my passion for travel and help others plan their adventures! While travelling, my family and friends always ask to take many pictures of where you visited, whether the food was good, and so on!
We have travelled internationally, domestically, and on cruises, and we want to share our knowledge about budget travel, family-friendly destinations, and the best ways to explore new places with you.
We firmly believe that travel can be done on a budget without sacrificing enjoyment, and we are here to show you how.
Travelling and enjoying every moment without breaking the bank.
Therefore, we share candid reviews of two—and five-star hotels, B&Bs, suitable places for families, cruises, and restaurants.
We also highlight our mistakes along the way, sharing what went wrong and how we could have done things differently so you can learn from our experiences and avoid similar pitfalls.
We have personally visited the information I share or had a family vacation.
We love to explore cities, try new street foods and find off-beat attractions and charming little streets to visit. We use trains or buses to visit neighbouring towns.
Like you, we are real senior travellers who want to explore the world and see everything.
Through our exciting and unforgettable experiences, we aim to inspire you to travel more, make the most of your trips, and create unforgettable memories. We want you to feel the same joy and excitement when travelling.

The Important things:
I started this blog during COVID-19 to share my love for photography and travelling. Through my lens, you can experience the places I’ve visited. My unique storytelling style and photos set my blog apart from others, focusing on travel.
While I’m not a full-time traveller, I work from home on a small island in Montreal called Ile Perrot. I have a degree in Fashion Design and Flower Design, and completed a web design course, though I only used the design part with Photoshop and illustrations.
*I speak English and French, and I am learning Spanish.
*I have two sons and one grandson.
*I have been travelling for over 40 years with the kids or without them!!
*I am still an amateur traveller and photographer.
*We enjoy family trips.
The less important things:
* As a multidisciplinary artisan, I create various art forms such as copper jewelry, paintings, and more.
* My photography style mainly focuses on macro shots of flowers, architecture, and landscapes.
