Dear Ageless Traveler, Are you ready for innovative travel? 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...
Dear Ageless Traveler, I’m writing to you as promised, right after my Texas Country Music Cruise disembarkation. I’m in Galveston, having chosen the SeaBreeze Hotel, located on Avenue P 1/2. It is my pick because the reviews highlight how clean, recently renovated, and inexpensive it is. If you want to go high-end, there are two other standards here—the Grand Galvez and the Tremont—which are the go-to premium hotels in Galveston. Even those are only in the $200-per-day range. In general,...

Dear Ageless Traveler, Ahoy from the Western Caribbean! I'm writing to you onboard the Texas Country Music Cruise, sailing to Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Honduras. If you're curious about the cruise, you can download my free eBook on Texas Country Music—a journey through toe-tappin' history, colorful stories, and the people who keep country music alive at sea and on land. I am thrilled to share that 50+ travelers are officially trending! A 2025 Phocuswire report shows that 70% of Americans aged...
Dear Ageless Traveler, I've been thinking about how every generation has had its travel breakthrough—a significant moment that changed how we explore the world. I took my first trips in the 1960s, clutching my copy of Europe on $5 a Day. Independent Travel was the thing then—backpacks, youth hostels, rail passes, and meeting other wanderers in cafés from Amsterdam to Kathmandu. The big innovation? Traveler's Checks—thank you, American Express! My mother's travel story couldn't have been more...
Dear Ageless Traveler, The other day, my friend introduced me as her “travel lifestyle guru.” I was flattered. Then I began to think that this is not exactly true. Yes, I traveled through Europe and the Middle East when I was only eleven, and I traveled with my children by the time they were three months old, and I'm about to travel to my 132nd country in November. But I do not live a travel lifestyle. I have many friends who do. They are “travel nomads.” They don't have a job or a home. They...

Dear Ageless Traveler, In five weeks, The Ageless Traveler podcast starts its third year. I started The Ageless Traveler when I turned 75 to break down barriers to 60+ travel, like ageism toward older travelers, single supplements and complicated booking technology. I also wanted to raise awareness of how travel helps us keep fit, productive and contribute to society. I'm thrilled with our progress, but you may not be aware of how listening, commenting, following, and joining our Facebook...

Dear Ageless Traveler, It's my second day home after two months on the road, and it feels like I never left. I plan to spend the next three days unpacking, opening mail, and preparing for (drum-roll please) my first cruise ship speaking gig! Who says dreams can't come true after age 75? I have wanted to be a cruise ship speaker for decades and finally applied. To my amazement, I was accepted for four presentations in March on a route through the Azores to Morocco. I am doubly excited because...

Dear Ageless Traveler, I am writing to you from Uganda once again. I just finished my first primate trek to see the chimpanzees. Today I will venture to the Impenetrable Forest where I trek to see Gorillas. I am a bit scared and nervous about my ability to trek an unpredictable number of hours to see them. But I am determined to be fearless when the time comes. I will report on what happened when next I write to you. If you have gorilla trekking experience, please tell us all about it on our...
Dear Ageless Traveler, I am anxious to let you in on a secret. Uganda is a sleeping giant of a travel destination. After almost two months of travel in Europe, UK and South Africa you find me at Murchison Falls in Uganda. Of course there are game drives to see almost all of the Big Five…no rhinos. And you can visit the impressive Falls. Better yet, cruise down the Nile River for two hours to spy crocodiles and hippos. Yes, Uganda offers the real life adventure portrayed at the Disney Jungle...
Dear Ageless Traveler, I am in the midst of my South African travels and inspired to give you the know-how and inspiration to visit Africa. I found seeing my first "Big Five" (leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, lion, and buffalo) grounding, calming, and adventurous. To be face-to-face with an elephant, lioness, or wildebeest helped confirm my belief in the oneness of the universe. On this week's podcast, I interview the founders of Vambua Africa. Hear how they plan trips throughout the African...

Dear Ageless Traveler, My Husband and I embarked this week on a two-month adventure to celebrate our 54th Anniversary. We have enjoyed just the first two days in London, so far.

In the Culture Vulture section, I will take you on a Bookstore Safari in London. We plan to spend less than some travelers do for their two-week itineraries. You get my tips on long...

Let me know where you have enjoyed special occasions. Celebrating is sweeter as the years go by. Please keep listening to The Ageless Traveler all summer. We have programmed a three-part series on buying property abroad, one...
Dear Ageless Traveler, I learned an unfamiliar word this week: "tsundoku". It means buying books you have no intention of reading. I used to do that—no more. When I buy books now, I read them to the end. That is one of many changes that have come about as I age. I no longer have the money or the time to pursue that in which I am not interested. Also, what I read now has changed, like this article on peptides. Healthspan is the central theme in this week's podcast on longevity. Let's put the...

This week, I am reprising my interview with Elizabeth Parrish, dubbed Patient Zero. Elizabeth was the first person to travel to Colombia to undergo gene therapy for age reversal. The reprise was inspired by my trip to Las Vegas this week to attend RAADFEST, the conference on age extension. I will be reporting in the weeks...

Dear Ageless Traveler, I am grateful that our newsletter readership is now over 2,000. I was delighted and excited when I met some of you in LA at my daughter's play, Mostly Midsummer (which was sold out hit by the end of its run). Meeting some of you personally made me think about a newsletter I published years ago called The Wealth Builder. It was a financial investment letter with 75,000 subscribers, many of whom I spoke with on the air while at WABC radio in NYC. I want to establish that...
