Dear Ageless Traveler, Happy Passover and Happy Easter. I find this time of year to be one of renewal. Perhaps it’s the burgeoning of spring, the holidays that bring family together, or the new beginnings of baby chicks and lambs that gives the time an aura of wonder and possibility for me. It’s also a bit disconcerting. The usual joys of travel are dampened by the world situation; in the US and worldwide, problems like homelessness and hunger persist. Yet it’s heartening to discover that one...

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. In News You Can Use, you'll see how I managed and a few...

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...

But every once in a while, you need to shake the snow globe. That’s where the idea of a retirement gap month or year comes in. Not a break from work—but a break from your comfort zone. A season where you stretch yourself again, travel somewhere...

Dear Ageless Traveler, Have you put travel in your healthcare budget yet? Science tells us that travel extends the power of our minds and bodies to fight many of the negative effects of aging. When you take a vacation, you are not escaping life. You are re-engaging with it. As I approach 78, I have some unspoken questions: Will I slow down? Will I need help if I travel? How do I stay curious? Those thoughts are natural. And I am happy to say that travel has been the breakthrough that keeps me...
