Backpacking grandparents who quit their jobs and sold their house to travel the world 'can't wait to get back out there' after cancer brought their adventures to a halt.

Tina Waddle, 58, and her husband, Kevin, 65, packed in their careers when they realised they had 'more years of their lives behind them than what was left in front'. The couple sold their £218k three-bedroom house in Leeds, West Yorkshire, and most of their belongings, bought a motorhome, and embarked on a journey around the world.

'Some time after that - as soon as Kev's feeling fit and well - we'll be off backpacking again.' Tina and Kevin, a telecommunications worker, used to live a 'typical family life' with their son, Scott, 36 and daughter, Steph, 31. But in 2016, Kevin realised something needed to change when a friend quit his job to live in Paris and suffered a heart attack and died before he was able to complete the move.
