Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about us.
We are Philip and Laura Mire, a retired couple traveling the world with a simple motto: “Spend the inheritance before the kids get it.” Along the way, we share our adventures, guides, and stories on our travel blog to inspire other retirees, empty nesters, and couples who want to explore the world.
Our writing focuses on:
- Accessible travel for seniors and those with mobility challenges.
- Couple and empty-nest travel, with an emphasis on authentic local experiences.
- Catholic heritage and history, including churches, shrines, and sites of faith encountered during our travels.
- Scuba diving and ocean adventure, from beginner-friendly dives to unique underwater experiences.
- Authentic cultural experiences, where we connect with local people, traditions, and ways of life.

Our promise is authenticity.
