Travel Doesn't Stop When Your Knees Start Creaking

Ready to dust off your passport and embrace adventure in your golden years? Traveling doesn't have to stop when the knees start creaking or reading menus requires glasses. If anything, our wanderlust grows stronger with age, when we finally have the time, perspective, and freedom from work schedules to truly savor new experiences.
After returning from my hiatus, I'm sharing hard-earned wisdom about navigating the world as a seasoned traveler. From the absolutely non-negotiable tip to use wheelchair services at airports (seriously, use them—that's what they're there for!) to strategic packing that won't leave you struggling with heavy suitcases on cobblestone streets, these practical insights will transform your travel experience. Did you know November might be the perfect month for European adventures? Fewer crowds, cooler temperatures, and off-season prices make it ideal for those no longer restricted to traveling during school breaks.
The beauty of traveling later in life lies in our shifted perspective. We're no longer racing through attractions to check items off a bucket list. Instead, we're sitting at sidewalk cafes, people-watching, and truly absorbing cultural nuances. We're choosing meaningful souvenirs (like a piece of jewelry from each destination) rather than collecting dust-gathering trinkets. We're embracing slower travel—giving ourselves permission for afternoon breaks, carefully selecting walkable destinations, and recognizing that memories are made in quiet moments as much as grand vistas. Even during my cancer treatment journey, I discovered that with proper preparation, health challenges don't have to ground us permanently.
Whether you're planning an ambitious international adventure or a simple road trip to explore family roots, remember that aging isn't for sissies, but it certainly is for travelers with soul, sass, and a carefully packed carry-on. Subscribe to hear more candid conversations about navigating life's later chapters with grace, humor, and just a hint of glucosamine.
