About Us

We’re Wendy and Jason Lee and we're Empty Nesters who love to travel. We're always eager to visit new countries, but we get just as excited to explore in our own backyard of Southern California.
Most of the time we travel as a couple, but when schedules permit, we also enjoy traveling as a family with our two grown children. And if friends or family can join us, that's even better!
When we travel we prioritize comfort--a nice hotel room, good food and wine, and great tours. This isn't always the cheapest option, so we've discovered plenty of travel hacks to make it possible.
It's our goal to inspire couples 50+ to travel more. We hope to provide you with plenty of inspiration as well as helpful travel advice.
