My Target Audience
50+ Traveler who finally has time and money to take extended vacations or more vacations but need inspiration as to where to go, what to do, and where to eat.
Why Invite me?
I have traveled all over the country and can share a lot of unique experiences and inspiration of where people might visit and hidden gems in many locations. Many people who are 50+ are still looking for active travel, not spending their time in a rocking chair or on sedentary activities. I can highlight these things, plus provide tips on where they can find a bit of luxury on every trip. I am a former teacher and school administrator who opted for early retirement to travel and create content about my travels. Other topics I can discuss are career changes, second acts, and mindset shifts. I have inspired audiences on several podcasts, live stages, and tv segments.
