Why We’ve Been Travelling Less | Fibromyalgia, Rosacea & Life as Midlife Travellers

Why We’ve Been Travelling Less Lately – Chronic Illness & Adventure Life
In this video, we open up about why our travel schedule has changed—and how chronic illness is reshaping the way we explore the world.

Angela has recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Rosacea, and while we still love to travel, these health conditions have made us rethink how—and how often—we do it. From needing warm climates for fibro to avoiding heat and sun with rosacea—it’s been... fun figuring that out. 😅

We’re midlife adventurers who still believe you can chase beauty and freedom—just with a few more naps, adjusted expectations, and ideally, better air conditioning.

👉 Navigating chronic illness and still dreaming of travel? Or just want to watch someone else do the heavy lifting? You’re in the right place.

✈️ Come along as we share our journey, our bad jokes, and our ongoing quest to find the perfect climate triangle for both fibromyalgia and rosacea.
