Midlife Travel Bug
Канада
Добавлен 30 дек 2020
We are Jim and Chris, Canadian empty nesters of 5 kids that have a deep passion for travel and exploring new places. We think outside the box to make our trips happen and want to share our experiences and travels to encourage you to do the same.
We are too old for hostels and too young for bus tours and don't have a big budget to stay at 5 star hotels. Our target audience is for the over 40 crowd that have sacrificed the younger years raising kids and didn't get a chance to go see the world....but if you are just in love with travel at any age, we hope you can find some value here as well.
We have enjoyed some amazing travels to Mexico, Europe, Carribean, USA, and SE Asia and are not ready to stop anytime soon. We are on the "Tomorrow Is Never Guaranteed" program right now so we feel the need to chase our dreams while we can.
Can't say that this will be perfect in any way...this is totally new to us, and if we suck, at least our future grandkids have something to remember us by.

Very helpful. Thank you
Sam HI 🌊🥶😁🦌 Deerfield 🦌
I hope you didn't miss the Palatine Chapel with its magnificent mosaics, inside the Norman Castle.
you admitted from the start that you were robbed then you confess that you guys got lucky you didn't miss anything ? confused !!
Merry Christmas! These were beautiful pictures! Where is this magical place! Love the song too! I've never heard of before until now! Making our Christmas memories sitting by the fire and just chill! 🦌🎄🎁🎅🎶❄️🍻🎵🙏
Thank you 🙏 Merry Christmas 🎄 this beautiful place is Paris 🎄🥂
❤❤
Thank you for watching 🥂💕Cheers Chris and Jim
Nice
Estoy viendo el.video y me están dando ganas de vomitar.El maltrsto animal está prohibido y aquí se sige maltratando a lis pobres burros poniendo sobre sus lomos y a temperaturas de más de cuarenta grados a personas ,da igual gordas que flacas Fuera el maltrsto animal😢😢😢😢😢
Thank you. ❤
Thank you 🙏😊
ive stayed in saranda for few weeks a couple of times which i enjoyed though if u go even slightly out of season its quiet.we did take a day trip to ksamil which looked like nice beaches,hows the prices in ksamil? i also liked gjirokastre.
Nice, we just visited on day trips to ksamil, the prices seemed about the same. It’s a fun place. Thank you so much for sharing and watching! Cheers 🥂 Chris and Jim
I hope you enjoyed my country
We enjoyed it very much 🙏
Great drive on a motor bike😊
It's definitely a gorgeous route.
Thanks a lot!❤
Thank you so much for watching! 🙏
You guys are very well organised and super cute together. Thank you for what you are doing. Your channel is excellent. Very useful videos and well done. God bless.
Thank you so much! You are very kind.🙏 You made our day, Cheers Chris and Jim😀😊
The town’s name is Mijas not Mija…….
Thank you 🙏
It is a beautiful down and we go there every time when back in Marbella…..
It's a beautiful place for sure. I was back in October and enjoyed even more of this beautiful area.
I LOVE you, Sicily!
We loved it too 💕😊
Sadly, Rome, Spain, and other countries/cities no longer hold romance for me because of the rampant pickpocketers, scammers, assaults.
Yes times are changing in popular places.. and good suggestions on new charming places to visit 🙏💕
Albania is the only country in Europe, perhaps in the world, that with such a small area has such great natural beauty that no other country like Germany, Poland or other large countries has it. We have mountains in every city, spring water in every city, 35% of the world's vegetation is found in Albania, natural green rivers, thermal waters, fabulous coastlines, stunning villages, zero politics, ignorant and uneducated people and no culture in Tirana enymore and is a mess in our beatiful Tirana, while in the cities there are good people, Kosovo is better than us in mentality. 🎉
Great video guys!! Tirana looks like a city worth exploring more! Would you say its worth a month long stay (in the right season?). We are headed back there in a few days and hope to experience the Tirana Christmas Market!! It seems like a great city! We loved our one night there on the way to Saranda! Cheers! Mitch and Jan ❤
Thanks guys! I think we both felt that the 3 nights was plenty of time to see the main sites and get what we needed out of Tirana. It's a big city and we typically like to stay in the smaller areas, but there is a lot to see. It's very pedestrian friendly in Tirana. A month would be a stretch for us there and we will break more of that down in the next video too. The Christmas Market sounds like it will be fun, enjoy that :) We would love to be in Europe for the Christmas season.
Thanks!
Wow, thank you so much!! We really appreciate your Super Thanks...our very 1st🥹. Very humbled by your kindness and hope the video helps out with your travels :)
Such a surprising City! It's a must see if you visit Albania😀
Thanks so much! We loved exploring it!

woww, absolutely breathtaking 😍
Its a beautiful place... I could live in Italy!
loved this vlog! awesome work guys 😊
Thanks so much! It was a really beautiful road trip!
Great editing , great job 👏
@@loriswan2556 Thank you Lori, it was pretty beautiful. We liked the small towns on the coast. ❤️
Great Vid!! Albania has been on my radar for a while now, following a few vloggers that live there. Maybe next video mention some of the prices? I'm sure people are curious ;)) ps... And weather this time of year (November December) would be another very interesting point for North American's that are sun seekers and more adventurous than just going to Mexico.
Thank you! We appreciate the feedback. We will have an upcoming video on all our expenses for our visit in Albania. It’s funny because most of our videos we have prices.. just didn’t on this one. We were there in July and August. We have approximately 5 other videos and a few more to go. Check them out if you like. We mention costs and show our apartment. Thank you for watching, Cheers Chris and Jim
@@midlifetravelbug Will do !! :) ps.. When I saw the people in the water I figured it must have been summertime there(July or August) when you shot the videos. I've been to Greece four times so I'm aware of the seasons, however a lot of north Americans tend to think it's balmy hot in January or February in that part of the Mediterranean
Some of them make $20,000 grand a day. They actually live in large homes with Mercedes’. They are ugly peasants who r too lazy to work.
The police don’t do much. U can put rodent traps in ur bag that’s easy to open.
Yes we have heard they don’t do much.
The guy could have been the pump. He hires the girls, they pass the wallet to another person fast so that when u confront the person u think took ur purse, the person who has it now is far back or gone.
Yes looking back it seems pretty clear. Thank you for watching 🙏
Such a beautiful area to visit!
It really is!
Another winner, well done! 😊❤

thanks for sharing and hahahahha, Chris' reaction to the sea worm omelette. we are also trying this soon hehe!
It's a crappy video, but we had the wrong settings on at the time, Lol... ahhh yes the worms.... Not my fave to say the least!.. Good luck!😂😨
Super video
Thank-you so much! Cheers Chris and Jim
thanks for sharing! that is a beautiful sunset and wow, what a hidden gem of the Balkans!
Thanks you! It’s definitely another place to visit 😀
Hi Chris and Jim, great videos! We are fellow Canadians from BC going to Sicily in April. I am amazed at the price of rental cars on your link - so much less than others I've seen. Did you have any issues with your rental I should be concerned about? We used Europecar in France earlier this year, but I see they are more than double the price of your site.
Thank-you for watching and commenting. Hello from the Okanagan! Yes we have managed to get amazing prices through them. We have posted to offer theses to others, and it helps us a little bit when you use our link. We have now used them in several different countries in Europe and had nothing but excellent experiences, For us the prices have been our main reason for using them. We were sure happy we rented a car in Sicily, the smaller the better if you can. if you have any questions for your trip , please reach out we are happy to help in any way if we can. Have a fantastic trip! Cheers Chris and Jim
Dont lost you money in the street in gjirokaster ... To mutch people comming !!!!! Welkon giro
Thank you guys hope to be there in June🍺
So exciting, we hope you have a wonderful time. We loved it! Cheers Chris and Jim, thank-you for watching.
Langkawi is not crowd and many places to explore.
It is a lovely Island with beautiful beaches. Thanks so much for watching, Cheers Chris and Jim
I got mugged in Venice. ANything you ever want to see again should be in a money belt. As Rick Steves says its not the begger you need to watch out for....its the well dressed man in a suit!
Sorry to hear about your experience in Venice. Yes this is a good point for sure. Stay safe, and thanks for watching, Cheers Chris and Jim
Great video! Planning our Sicily trip for 2025 and your tips are very helpful. How did you go flying a drone to get your footage? I’m considering bringing my DJI mini 4 pro.
Hey Sam, sorry for the late reply. Thanks so much for watching, we truly appreciate it. We saw a lot of people flying drones and there were signs for the no drone areas. We didn't bring a drone into the country ourselves though. We do use some stock drone shots in our videos and I've use some locals to do drone shots for us as well. I would make sure you check some of the rules for bringing your DJI into Italy, but unfortunately, I don't have any more information on that. Have an amazing time in Sicily, we absolutely loved it! If you have any more questions, let us know. Cheers, Jim and Chris
Yes we’re finding lots of rules around flying drones in Italy. Fortunately lots of time to prepare. Thanks again :)
Great video guys! We are actually heading to Gjirokaster later this week! Thanks for the tips and great ideas on where to visit! Cheers! 🥂
Have fun! It is such a change from Saranda. You will enjoy it for sure. Thanks for watching, Cheers Chris and Jim
I love watching Chris shop😂
Thank-you.. He never lets me buy anything...lol.. Darn carryon suitcases. But I can always look!
Romani are everywhere
😀
Beautiful Gjirokastra! And I saw that you stayed at my friend's guesthouse! A great quiet place to relax!
Yes it was! We enjoyed meeting the host Family! Nice view and a nice quiet place to relax after a busy day. Thanks for watching, Cheers Chris and Jim
Arancini has no "h" and is a plural. "An arancini" is like saying "an oranges".
Thank-you.... trying🙏😀
Such a beautiful city!
It really is!
Neat place, well done😊❤
Thank you 😁
