Description

They don’t do tents, they don’t do middle seats, and they definitely don’t do cask wine. Meet the travel snobs from the Nine series Travel Guides.

In this laugh-out-loud episode of The Midlife Shift, Australia’s favourite travel snobs Kevin and Janetta sit down with host Alex Brooks to unpack their golden rules for travel, relationships, and living well after 50. This couple planned to retire and have spent the last ten years travelling the world on Channel Nine’s coin to appear in their Logie-winning lifestyle TV program.

They dish out all the top travel tips - from the type of suitcase you simply must have through to the forensic packing requirements needed to travel extensively.

They explain how to exploit your budget in the best way (hint: you need an airline membership) and what top 5 destinations all people over the age of 50 need to put on their list. With her label maker and ziploc bags in hand, Kevin and Janetta reveal how to travel in style without losing your cool (or your bags). They share what it’s really like working and travelling as a couple, and how getting older just means upgrading your standards—not giving up on adventure.

Whether you’re planning your next holiday or just love a brutally honest chat, this one is for those who still want the window seat in life and will never settle down to stay put.
