Solo Travel Over 50? Heck Yes.
Welcome! I’m Sue. I roamed around Europe with a backpack and then across the US in an RV in my 20s… and then life happened. Career, caregiving, and calendars packed with everyone else’s needs. Sound familiar?

Now in my 50s, I’m jumping into travel again—this time with comfy shoes, a bit more budget, and zero tolerance for sketchy hostels (but still loving a charming, good bargain). If you’re ready to rediscover the world (and yourself) through solo female travel over 50, you’re in the right place.
Let’s face any fears, pack some snacks, and start checking places off that bucket list. You in?
