About Lisa - The Middle Age Wanderer

Hi, I’m Lisa.  I’m a 50 something retired chartered accountant, who along with my husband, Darren, has worked hard to have a great career and be financially stable.  Now it’s time to enjoy life more.

To do all the things we want to do, I’ve had to work hard to improve my fitness. I hiked the Inca Trail in my 40’s and got my open water diver certification in my 50’s. It’s a continuous effort to keep fit. Gym sessions are a regular part of my life. But it’s not always easy because we also love to explore different cuisine and wine around the world and at home.

We travel as much as possible, both overseas and at home.  We call Australia home and find that there are so many places to explore here as well.

But the main reason we return home from our adventures are our two beautiful girls, Jazz and Indy.

One of the reasons I love travelling is to see the amazing wildlife around the world. I am an animal welfare advocate (I spent almost 10 years on the board of a large animal welfare organisation). I believe that wildlife should be in the wild and that we all need to do our part to protect wildlife and their habitats.
