About us

We’re Dan and Celine, and travel and outdoor adventure have been a big part of our lives for years.

We spent many of those years travelling with our kids, planning family trips around hiking, wildlife, biking and time outdoors. At home, we’re lucky to live in the Canadian Rockies, where being active is simply part of everyday life.

As we’ve moved into our 50s, the kids are getting older and the way we travel is starting to change. What hasn’t changed is our desire to keep exploring, stay active and keep taking on adventures that challenge us.

We started 55 Still Alive because we don’t want getting older to automatically mean doing less. We want to stay strong enough to hike the trail, ride the bike, take the adventurous trip and keep saying yes when something sounds exciting.

This site is where we share what that looks like in real life. The trips we take. The activities we try. The things that get harder. The things that surprise us. And what we’re learning about staying active enough to keep doing the things we love.

For us, 55 Still Alive is really about making the most of this stage of life and staying active enough to keep doing the things we love. We want to keep moving, keep exploring and keep making room for the kinds of adventures that make life interesting.
