79 Years Old and Still Going

Hello  all you young and young-at-heart folks who want to travel but can't quite get out there and do it. You probably find all kinds of reasons why you can't fulfill your dreams of traveling to new and far-away places. From the questions I've been asked about how I travel, I bet you're afraid to travel alone, don't know where to go, where to find accommodation, how to find  affordable flights, afraid of getting sick, don't know what to pack and if you're "of a certain age" and a woman, you think you'd be   "jumping off the cliff." to do what you want to do.  In fact, your friends and family will try to convince you of that.

. I'm here to help. I can do that because I've had a lot of travel experience, starting when I was a young girl at  17,  up  to right now, at 79.  And I've done it all before there were computers and with very, very little money.  No five star hotels for this girl, but  delight  was always in the travel package.

I get inquiries, especially  from single women asking me, "how do you do it?   How do you travel at your age and alone?"  I'll tell you:  you go to the nearest computer, buy your ticket online, and start packing.  OK, there are a few first steps, but I'd like to hear from you first, about  what holds you up from doing what you want to do.  I'll answer your questions and tell you how I do it.  For a start, I'll  tell you about where I was two months ago; the Middle East and Sri Lanka.  Alone.  Well, not really. There were people all around me all the time; at the airport, on the airplane, at the places I stayed (wait until I tell you about those!), and at all the sites I saw.

But before I tell you more, let me know what you'd like  me to help you with to make your dreams of travel come true.    I'm waiting to hear from you.
