What we’re about
We’re a lively, young-at-heart group of adventurers who love to explore the world—together. Whether you’re single, a couple, retired, or still working —we’ve got a spot for you. Most of our crew is over 60, but age is just a number here. What matters is your spirit of adventure and your love of great company!
Our trips are designed with mature travelers in mind—fun, enriching, safe, and always full of laughter. If you’ve ever hesitated to travel solo, this is your chance to join a warm, welcoming community of like-minded explorers. Many of our members travel without partners, and we often pair people up to help share costs and avoid the dreaded single supplement.
Best of all? Lifelong friendships are practically guaranteed. Personally, I’ve gained so many wonderful friends through this group—and I know you will too.
We also host regular local meetups in Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston. It’s a great way to meet your future travel buddies face-to-face before your next big adventure. Keep an eye on our Meetup page for event updates.
