My partner and I Barbara are quite active, though at 82 he's starting to slow down a bit, while I’m 60 and still ready to explore. He's comfortable with me doing some activities on my own, and we often enjoy light walking with breaks. When we visit a new city, we like to start with hop-on, hop-off buses if they’re available, as they let us get a good overview without too much walking. Good food and wine are a big part of our travel experience, and we’re especially eager to try authentic local cuisine enjoyed by locals—not tourist traps. We’re also hoping to visit wineries to sample and purchase regional wines. UNESCO World Heritage Sites are high on our list, especially those that are conveniently located or offer cruise pick-up options. As scuba divers, we love the ocean but prefer diving in warm waters. We’re also looking for unique experiences that capture the essence of each destination, including must-do and must-see attractions. I’m interested in cooking classes and crafts, and would love to learn from local artisans. Additionally, if there are festivals or special events as we cruise, we wouldn’t want to miss the chance to experience these moments firsthand. Cruising is truly my dream come true, as I’ve enjoyed over 70 cruises to date. Both of us speak multiple languages—English, German, Polish, Italian, French, and some Spanish, with a bit of Russian and Chinese—and we hope to practice and improve them wherever we go.
