The Middle Age Wanderer

Hi, I’m Lisa Bundesen – a proud Aussie, passionate traveller, photographer, and retired forensic accountant. After years of building a successful career, I’m now embracing a new chapter of life that revolves around adventure, exploration, and a deep appreciation for different cultures. My husband Darren and I balance travel with our life back home in Australia, where we recharge with our two fur babies, Jazz and Indy.

The Middle Age Wanderer is where I share the stories, tips, and practical advice from our travels. Whether we’re hiking ancient trails, diving alongside manta rays, or soaking in the local food and wine, I believe that adventure is always possible – especially after 50. Age should never be a barrier. In fact, it gives us the freedom and confidence to explore the world with curiosity and courage.

Here, you’ll find destination guides packed with must-see spots and hidden gems, honest travel tips tailored for mature travellers and reviews you can actually trust. I’ll take you behind the Instagram filters to show you the real experiences – both the wins and the “wish we knew that sooner” moments.

My goal is to help you plan better, travel smarter, and feel inspired to try something new – whether it’s your first overseas trip or your fiftieth. Because travel isn’t just for the young. It’s for anyone who’s ready to embrace life, one incredible destination at a time.
