Dear Ageless Traveler, When I ask people about their greatest barrier to travel one word comes up again and again: responsibility. On the very first episode of The Ageless Traveler podcast, I listed those barriers, like money and health. But I’ve discovered that the toughest to overcome are work and childcare duties for younger folks and caring for a spouse, looking after grandchildren, helping aging parents, managing a home, or pet care. Those responsibilities can make even the dream of...

Dear Ageless Traveler, If you've been staring at your suitcase lately feeling more dread than delight, you are not alone. Travel burnout is real. It happens to many seasoned wanderers. A point comes when we feel we have already been everywhere and checked every box. Here's what I've learned after decades of going (almost) everywhere: the cure for burnout isn't forcing another big trip. It's remembering how to be curious again, in small ways, before you ever board a plane. Here’s why we need...

Dear Ageless Traveler, One of my most memorable experiences was preparing a full Vietnamese meal in the home of a young family, playing with their children, and gaining a deeper understanding of modern Vietnam. But, Vietnamese food can be salty, and I am on a low sodium diet. Before I booked the cooking tour, I knew what dishes to ask for, and the meal was scrumptious. Do you have food restrictions, like vegan, vegetarian, or, like me, pescatarian, religious dietary requirements, or foods...
Dear Ageless Traveler, Several years ago, on a Danube cruise with Theatrical Adventures at Sea, I met a woman whose husband had passed away five years earlier. She told me this was the first time she had the "guts," her word, to travel by herself. It wasn't a revelation to me. My own mother spent much of her life alone and never traveled until group tours began welcoming solo women travelers. What a difference a decade makes. Today, solo travel is all the rage, and it doesn't necessarily mean...
Dear Ageless Traveler, I am about to take a six-week trip, and it's never easy to plan. But after visiting 140 countries, I do have some hints and tips. I also have a roster of places I've found worth the effort of long-term travel. In an earlier newsletter, I reported on how we Ageless Travelers are taking Gap Years, where we travel for months at a time. My trip is taking me to the Galápagos with GoGalapagos, the Ecuadorian Amazon, and barging through the Champagne Valley in France with...
Dear Ageless Traveler, I know, I know. Between pickle ball, the book club, volunteering and sitting on the Board of your HOA, you don’t have time to plan your next trip. Funny how in the age of information, planning is getting harder and more time-consuming what with chats with AI, over choice, and airline headaches, you may as well stay home…not on my watch! As you will find in one of my favorite books, Field Guide to Getting Lost by Rebecca Solnit, “The things we want are transformative,...
Dear Ageless Traveler, Yesterday I felt fantastic. Today? I am feeling a bit under the weather. Honestly, if I had to hop on a plane this afternoon, it would be a drag. Thankfully, that doesn't happen to me very often. I sat down and really reflected on why I'm feeling drained. The truth is, I’ve been so incredibly busy getting ready to travel for the next two months that I completely let my guard down. I failed to do my usual exercises, missed taking my supplements, and let my nutrition...

Dear Ageless Traveler, Grab a prosecco and settle in, because today we’re going to travel in style…your style! We match the way we move through the world, with trips that meet you where you are. and I reveal some of the pet peeves in marketing that can lead you astray. You know, after traveling to 140 countries, people always ask me about my favorite way to explore. If I could snap my fingers, I’d live permanently in a 19th-century "Grand Tour." Picture the Gilded Age: traveling with massive...

Dear Ageless Traveler, They say money makes the world go round. Perhaps. But one thing I do know. You need money to go around the world. This week, I focus on the many ways you can make extra money, reduce travel costs, or travel for free. Yes, there are many ways to overcome the money barrier; each depends on you and your travel style. But this is also a very special week, as it marks the launch of my first Podcastathon with The Age-Wise Collective, a group of top women podcasters. We will...

Dear Ageless Traveler, Two milestones occurred within days of each other, giving me pause. Mel Brooks turned 100, and the United States turned 250. That means Mel has lived through more than one-third of our nation's entire history. It struck me that we are still a remarkably young country...and that many of us, along with even more of our children and grandchildren, will witness an extraordinary amount of history yet to come. Visiting Richmond, Virginia, last week sharpened my awareness of...
Dear Ageless Traveler, I have been on a quest along the glorious Central California Coast to discover the very best spots to enhance romance for couples who have been married for a long, long time. Here's why... Last week I had dinner with two couples who were celebrating their anniversaries, as I will do in August. One couple was married for ten years. The other couple had been married for 70 years. Seventy years! Stu and I will celebrate our 55th anniversary and we thought think was a big...

Dear Ageless Traveler, I’m really excited about this week’s The Ageless Traveler podcast because it’s all about Nepal, a place I missed in the 60s that I think might have changed the direction of my life. I was a college kid clutching my Europe on 5 Dollars A Day book, and after visiting Italy, I had a choice: go to Greece by myself or go with the cool, hippie types to Kathmandu. I went to Greece. I also went to law school and never pursued my desire to be a writer, a scholar, maybe an...

Dear Ageless Traveler, I have a question for you. What do you think when you see a woman at a music venue, concert, or cabaret dancing by herself? Does your answer change if it’s a man? The way you answer is a clue as to how much freedom you allow yourself in traveling alone. When I see folks dancing alone, I see people with self-confidence, ready to have fun. But it wasn’t always like that for me. I was a fat kid (are we allowed to use that word anymore?) and mercilessly body shamed. I spent...

Dear Ageless Traveler, In this newsletter I concentrate on health and stamina so you can never stop traveling… like old age (as Betty Davis remarked), lifelong travel is not for sissies. You’ll also get an eyeful of great hidden ideas for traveling from bread safaris to zoo safaris. It's been two weeks of back-to-back conferences, and I am both elated and tired. Elated because my presentation at the Hospitality Design Expo conference was reviewed by Purgula, the leading home design...
Dear Ageless Traveler, It’s a pleasure to write to “y’all.” Having been in Arkansas for a familiarization trip with the North American Travel Journalists Association, you can’t fault me for throwing in a bit of dialect. Arkansas is a state that brands itself “The Natural State,” and indeed it is. My journey took me to Little Rock, North Little Rock, and Hot Springs for a deep dive into the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum, the brave story of anti-segregation, and the...

For this week's newsletter, in our usual Culture Vulture section, I cover my surprise experience in Las Vegas, a place I have been many times, and I bet...
Dear Ageless Traveler, Welcome to The Ageless Traveler's Almost Mother's Day issue! Happy Mother's Day to you all. My Mom and Aunt brought me up, so I know that every woman is a mother figure to someone. Every Mother, and, for that matter, every person, has a brand, a part of their personality that comes through no matter where and no matter when, at every age. As the travel saying goes, “Wherever you go, there you are.” My mother’s brand was “You deserve it.” She wanted everyone to realize...
Dear Ageless Traveler, I’ve been reflecting on how much I love travel and what it's done for me at different stages of my life. When I was a child, travel opened my eyes to the big world. In my teens, I learned to be independent and adventurous. In my mature years, travel has given me better health, greater self-confidence, and a chance to contribute. I believe that travel is more than a vacation. That’s why I ask you to please attend my FREE June webinar, "Travel Coaching for The Mature...

Dear Ageless Traveler, This has been two weeks of “FIRSTS.” I've just returned from a stint as a cruise ship speaker for the first time. I also visited the Azores for the first time, and below in Luxury Travel for Less, you'll discover that a quick trip can become a Wellness experience. It was also the first time that an airline lost my luggage. This was no joke as I was slated to speak on the ship four times and wanted to look my best.

Dear Ageless Traveler, I’m writing this letter a few weeks before spring because, for the first time in many years, I will be traveling in March. Early spring is anticipation. It’s new growth. It’s romance in the air. It’s flowers blooming—and we're personally blooming again after winter. And let’s be honest: after months of a very cold winter, most of us are ready for a little color, a little music, and a getaway to somewhere interesting. So this week I’m celebrating the season by taking you...

Dear Ageless Traveler, This Post-Valentine’s Day, I’m celebrating one of the great loves of my life: Europe. My affair began in 1959 when a flight to Israel — where my mother sent me to camp after my father died — made unexpected refueling stops in France and Holland. Instead of a quick layover, we stayed a week in each city. Imagine 20 wide-eyed American kids racing through the Amsterdam canals, shouting, “Look at that!” while counselors chased us, begging for decorum. Decorum? At the Eiffel...

Dear Ageless Traveler, Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is make a mistake. Last week I went to Disney’s Epcot in Orlando, Florida. It's been years since my last visit, back when Ellen DeGeneres hosted my favorite ride—the gentle dinosaur journey through the Jurassic Period. That ride has now been reimagined as Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and I assumed it would be the same tame experience…just with a space theme. NO. NO. NO. This is a high-energy, full-throttle indoor roller...

Dear Ageless Traveler, This week, I used AI to plan a road trip. With AI all over the travel news right now, this is the perfect moment to see what it can really do for us — the good, the bad, and the “Why did I just drive 40 minutes for a statue of a giant peanut?” Here’s the scenario: I’m in New York City because I’m speaking at the NYC Travel & Adventure Show on January 24th. I spend the weekend with my family in NYC, then leave on the 27th, arriving in Orlando on January 30th to present...
Dear Ageless Traveler, After forty years of cruising, I thought I knew it all until this week! I hopped aboard The Quantum of the Seas from Royal Caribbean and took a three-night cruise to Ensenada, Mexico. Quantum is a mega ship and was the largest in the world only a dozen or so years ago. I realized that cruising has reinvented itself. These ships aren’t just floating hotels anymore… they're floating theme parks, museums, and wellness retreats. (Yes, it is possible to get healthier on a...

Also, it's how families stay connected...

But here’s the secret no one talks about: you don’t need to swim—or even love the beach—to fall head over heels for the South Pacific. I don’t swim….

New experiences take us into worlds we've never known—new sights, sounds, and tastes that awaken our senses and release dopamine, the brain's happy chemical. Travel's magic can be most profound when we return to places we've visited before and see them through changed eyes. Take my lifelong fascination with dark skies. I've been stargazing since 1981, but with the rise of dark sky tourism, modern technology has opened fresh ways to...
