The Journey Behind Paul and Livvy

We’ve travelled together and solo for well over 20 years. We’ve often thought much travel coverage today is for the influencer / fashionista / backpacker.

Paul and Livvy is different. It’s not about us: it’s about the place and the people we meet – their food and customs and conversations. Livvy is not likely to stand in front of a waterfall in a bikini, and our hostelling days are over, although Paul will opt for a cheap motel on a US road trip if it means more beer money.

Having been around the block a few times, we both enjoy good food, decent hotels, and visiting new places. Livvy is partial to a nice spa and the odd art gallery, but neither of us find sitting on a beach for hours on end much fun. So, in essence, this is the website we wish had been in existence all those years ago when we first started. Affordable luxury carried out as comfortably as possible.

What Paul and Livvy is About

Integrity

You can trust us to be honest and transparent. If we do any paid work, we will declare it and it will not affect our opinion.

Simple clear information

We are all overloaded with information and it’s hard to know what to believe.
We will try to summarise everything and give you the facts so you can make up your own mind.

An understanding of the over 60s market

We are both over 60 and know what we like and dislike, so we imagine you will have similar tastes. We enjoy affordable luxury and to be as comfortable as possible. That doesn’t mean we won’t challenge ourselves occasionally. That extra-long hike, the cryotherapy at minus 110 degrees C, or being in sole charge of a £300K sailing boat.
