🌍 Unique travel stories for the 50+ traveler
Aspirational, inspirational, "I had no idea I could do that" stories. Also especially interested in pieces on accessible travel, solo travel, and multi-generational trips with an emphasis on value.

A few important details: This is a future launch, so I'm commissioning evergreen content that will be relevant from late 2025 into 2027. I have a lot to assign so please don't be discouraged if you don't hear back immediately. I'll be working through pitches as fast as I can”.
