Zeke and Terri, a married couple in their 50s, decided that the empty nest wasn’t the end of the adventure... it was just the beginning. After raising kids and building careers, they chose to design a bold new chapter: one filled with travel, curiosity, and embracing the unknown. Through their YouTube channel ,Zeke and Terri’s Midlife Adventures, they inspire others over 50 to explore the world on their own terms, whether that’s boating through the canals of France, navigating a new city, or simply saying “yes” to midlife reinvention.

Terri is also the author of Piloting Your Life, a book for women over 40 who are ready to reclaim their power and design and live a life of their own creation. She’s spoken on midlife transformation, entrepreneurship, and disrupting the status quo for GenX women.

Their story resonates with GenXers, empty nesters, and midlife dreamers who want more freedom, fun, and purpose. And after nearly divorcing after 25 years of marriage, they accidentally rebooted their relationship through sex, honesty, and a willingness to rewrite their own rules. That unexpected intimacy opened the door to more joy, adventure, and alignment than they ever imagined.

They bring humor, vulnerability, and real-life experience to conversations about freedom, relationships, aging boldly, and what it means to live life unapologetically. If you enjoy real talk about reinvention and what's possible in the second half of life, take a listen to this conversation.

Andrew has traveled through 10+ countries in Latin America alone, but his most meaningful destination is Bogotá, Colombia—a city he has visited nine times and now plan to call home. What started as a love story turned into a full-blown expat adventure involving jungle rides on Harleys, navigating city streets that never sleep, and investing in property in the highlands of La Calera.

This isn’t your typical travel tale. It’s got love, risk, grief, healing, and a whole lot of street-savvy survival.

Human Connection: How Andrew's travels reshaped his identity, values, and business outlook—especially in how he serves others through his company  TechRescue.

 If you love stories and opinions that are off-script, honest, and full of heart, this conversation is made for you.

It was a long one.  

I was contracted as a Luminary to provide 10 educational talks about various travel subjects. My voice survived, barely.

Places visited:

• Bermuda
• Azores
• Lisbon
• Cartegena
• Valencia
• Mallorca
• Crete
• Rhodes
• Kusadasi
• Milos
• Athens

This is a brief trip report, from my current time zone to a place 7 hours ahead.

Then the long flight home, then jet lag.

A trip full of education, historical places and culture.

All good.

Trina is a GenX adventurer, solo traveling across Africa.

Currently, she is traveling overland from Ghana to Namibia, exploring each country as she goes, then around South Africa, then up the east coast towards Turkey.  

In 2017, Trina and her husband sold everything and set off to travel the world. He was losing his vision and she wanted him to see as much as possible before it went completely. They traveled mostly in Southeast Asia and Africa, but then she lost him to health issues in 2022. They were in Ghana at the time and Trina paused there for a couple of years of healing and re-organizing.

Back on the road she is now for more adventure.

What a fantastic story this is. Enjoy it.

In the past, people have asked me such questions as:

• Did you ever get into trouble?
• Did you have any close encounters?
• Did you have any near misses?
• Were you ever in jail in a foreign country?
• Did you ever fear for your life?

In this short podcast, there are a few examples of the above, with the exception of jail time, because that never happened.

Just to drop a hint or two:

• Flight MH 17
• Moscow in Dec. 1991
• First Gulf Crisis
• Scuba Diving incident
• Cyclone
• Earthquake
• Bali in 2002

..... to name a few.

The main thing is, though, that I am still alive.

A few near-misses, but life is short,

The adventure continues.

Here is my "current "To Do List" for adventure travel, otherwise known as a Bucket List.

Will I get through the list before I am told that I will have to stay at home for the rest of my life? A horrible thought it is.

There are so many wonderful places on our planet and I rather be traveling to experience them than listening to all of the bad news on TV. The anger, the hate, the egos, the lies are all depressing. 

So I am making the most of it.

My bucket list will keep growing no doubt, but I rather have it that way, than nothing on it.

Enjoy my current top 10 from the Americas, Africa, and the South Pacific.

Life is short and fragile.
