Racing and Traveling Over 50
Traveling and running are my passions and I am lucky enough to have a husband who shares my passion for travel and puts up with the running, racing and triathlon part. We refer to our travel style as semi-budget. We stay in hostels and low cost lodgings but only if we have our own room. We travel by “Chicken bus” with backpacks but we have a visa card and if things every get dicey we are not afraid to use it! As luck and good planning would have it we have never had a really bad experience. The world is yours to discover. I hope there is something here that helps.
