Welcome to To Travel Too!<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Great To See You Here!\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

We travel by two mantras:<\/p>\n

\u201cAge is no barrier when it comes to travel\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Chase time not money”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks for stopping by and welcome to To Travel Too \u2013 Australia\u2019s top award-winning Baby Boomer lifestyle and travel blog, with an international worldwide audience in mind, run by the married couple, freelance writers and full-time travellers Jane and Duncan Dempster-Smith.<\/p>\n

We have been exploring the world together since forever; well at least since the early 1980\u2019s.<\/p>\n

After meeting in 1983 Sydney Australia we\u00a0went to the UK for a few years, working and exploring the US, Europe and UK.<\/p>\n

We decided to return to Australia to be back with friends and\u00a0family and\u00a0raise our two young boys.<\/p>\n

We continued to travel as a family and enjoyed travelling back to Europe, the USA and around Asia.<\/p>\n

In 2000 our family of 4 moved to Singapore. For 6 years we took advantage of living in Asia and the boy’s school holidays to travel to Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Europe, China and Japan.<\/p>\n

With the boy’s education finalising we had the opportunity to downsize and consider leaving our corporate roles to travel.<\/p>\n

In 2013 (our first year of travel) it seemed a natural progression for Jane to move from travel agent to travel writer. To Travel Too was born.<\/p>\n

We wanted to show others that it is not too late to \u2018ditch\u2019 the corporate world’<\/a><\/span><\/strong> and to enjoy the later years of your life doing exactly what you want.<\/p>\n

Our Travels<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Our goal is to encourage and inspire others to get out of their comfort zones, do those things that you always wanted to do and visit those places that you had always dreamed of. Book a flight, book the tour, and most of all chase time not money.<\/p>\n

Everyone has their own style, desires and goals when they decide to travel the world. It does not matter if you are into adventure, luxury, budget, backpacking, cruising, culture, history all that matters is that you take the first step to see what the world has to offer.<\/p>\n
