Are you aging solo? In this episode of The Ageless Traveler, I interview Joy Loverde, the author of "Who Will Take Care of Me When I'm Old?" and The Caregivers, a leading authority on solo travel, solo lifestyle, and active contributory aging.
We discuss the joys and pains of the growing population of solo agers and the importance of planning for one's care. Joy emphasizes the need to build extended family and social connections and the role of travel and technology in maintaining friendships.
