Is Australia on your beach bucket list? If it is, you’re going to really like today’s conversation with travel podcasters Lyle and Leanne, who live on the beach in Australia!
Their podcast is called Beach Travel Wine, and I first heard about it when Leanne sent me a message.
She told me that they sold their business and retired to travel, especially the beaches, all over the world - and of course, Australia. They downsized and bought a unit on the beach where they can see the ocean from every room and get to sleep to the sound of the waves.
Apparently, 90% of Australians live within 5km of the beach - so you can see how it's an important part of their lives. While Lyle and Leanne love going to the beach to swim and enjoy the water, one of their favorite things to do is wake up in the morning for a walk along the beach.
The beach is also about connecting with family. Having eight grandchildren it's the perfect place to come together.
At the time we recorded this episode Lyle and Leanne had just returned from a 14-day tour of Mexico that ended in - Cancun. I was just about to travel there, so I was really interested to hear about it.
Something else that I really wanted to hear about was their experience scuba diving and snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef and going on a "Reef Sleep" where you sleep out on the deck of a pontoon boat miles from shore on the Reef.
It's just you, a few friends, and the ocean as the sun sets and the stars come out.
We talked about the best beaches in Australia, their travels to Spain, where they are traveling to next, and Lyle describes one of the beaches that many travelers dream of going to but, he thought was . . .well, kind of underrated.
