Adventure and Wellness for the 60+ Traveler Virginia is one of the most historically rich and food-forward destinations in the United States and in this episode, I sit down with Kevin Clay, Communications Director at the Virginia Tourism Corporation, to unpack what makes the state a must-visit for history lovers, foodies, wine enthusiasts, and families alike. We start at the beginning with Jamestown, the site of the first permanent English settlement in America, before heading to Mount Vernon, George Washington's iconic estate, and Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's architectural masterpiece in Charlottesville. From there, we explore Colonial Williamsburg, the living-history capital of the region, and Staunton, a walkable Shenandoah Valley gem known for its theater scene and small-town charm. Kevin highlights Virginia's growing food and wine culture (one of the fastest-growing in the U.S.), and the deep traditions of Southern cuisine that run through it all. We cover accessible travel, LGBTQ+-friendly destinations, family travel, and multigenerational "grandparent travel".

The Ageless Traveler: Adventure and Wellness for the 60+ Traveler "About Kilimanjaro, the experience was so extraordinary. I honestly didn't care that I hadn't made it to the top." — Karen Gershowitz Travel writer Karen Gershowitz joins me to share adventures built for travelers 60 and over. Karen tells us of her attempt to summit Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, East Africa, and why the journey itself, not reaching the top, became one of the most meaningful trips of her life. We talk about our favorite destinations around the world, from the electric energy of London, England, to the quiet magic of a tiny fishing village on the northeast shore of Crete, Greece, and the natural beauty and vibrant food scene of Vancouver and Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.

Visit Nepal: Trekking, Community Engagement, Spirituality, Arts & Festivals with Guest: Aayusha Prasain “Spirituality is in very little things, and it’s about the shared happiness and warmth of the community.” Aayusha Prasain If you’ve been dreaming of Nepal and want something deeper than a standard tour, how about a cultural or trekking adventure staying in a family home where a grandmother teaches you to roll momos by hand, or a morning where a local artisan shows you the ancient art of Thangka painting. All this and more in my interview with Aayusha Prasain, the visionary CEO of the Community Homestay Network, an organization changing how the world experiences Nepal. Aayusha’s organization connects travelers directly with local Nepali communities, creating rich, authentic experiences that benefit both visitor and host. What moves me most about Aayusha’s work is her philosophy. As she told me on the podcast: “Sustainability means making a place enjoyable not just for travelers, but for the next generation living there.” And: “We are trying to change the narrative and bring communities as collaborators in tourism experiences.” That’s not just good travel — that is travel with a conscience. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or a cultural curious, this episode will inspire your next journey.
