This site is intended to provide ideas and inspiration – for people my age to go have some fun and new experiences before it’s too late. It also provides me with a record of some great memories.
Each article is designed as a five minute read. Most are based on trips I have done, but I have also persuaded a few friends (all also aged 55+) to contribute some write ups based on their travels.
These are the things that generally float my boat when traveling and which are the focus of the musings:
- Meeting local people.
- Eating and drinking where locals hang out.
- Learning from passionate people about the history and development of their place.
- Great architecture and design.
- Impressive natural landscapes.
- Museums, galleries and live music.
- Lots of people watching and flaneuring.
The site is done as a hobby. If I can find a way of securing a few quid for travel insights and/or curating trips then one day I might marry it up with the economics/place development consultancy career that I have enjoyed for last 30 years (Wisher Consulting). For now, I will rely on the economics to earn the money and this platform to talk about how to spend it.
I’m also found on Instagram at wishmcr70.
