NEW RELEASE

My checkered past includes working as a journalist, editor, graphic designer, corporate communications director, marketing consultant, and copywriter in Cleveland, California, and Boston. In addition to our day jobs, my husband, Rich, and I volunteered as business consultants to struggling microenterprises in Bosnia, Kenya, El Salvador, Mexico, and the Republic of Georgia. ​

During our 34 years of marriage, Rich and I have visited more than 60 countries together, and of all those places, Seville is the one that kept calling us back. Vacations here grew longer and longer until in 2004 we decided to make it our home “for a year.” We’re still here and still in love with the city. We also make regular visits back to the States, because America is something you have to stay in practice for, and we don’t want to lose our touch.

When we reached our sixties, Rich and I began to wonder whether we could still have the kind of spontaneous travel adventures we’d enjoyed in our youth, so we set off to find out. One August morning, we walked out of our Seville apartment and strolled to the train station with small, roll-aboard bags, a Eurail pass, and a railway map of Europe. With no reservations, no fixed time limit, and only a loose idea of an itinerary, we spent three months taking trains to obscure destinations, mostly in Eastern Europe. Now exploring Europe by rail has become a way of life.

Living and traveling abroad filled my life with stories, and these eventually grew into bestselling travel memoirs, guides, and a host of blog posts, interviews, and articles. My travel tips and adventure stories have appeared in Huffington Post, International Living Magazine, New York Daily News, Los Angeles Times, and Lonely Planet.

And here’s what I’ve learned: No! You absolutely do not have to settle for boring, predictable travel at any age. In fact, you don’t have to settle for a boring, predictable life either. If, like me, you spent your childhood secretly longing to live overseas, maybe this is the time to start exploring the world for yourself. If you're more of an armchair traveler, then pick up any of my books and join us on the journey.
