The adventure starts long before we get on the airplane.

One of the things that makes group travel special isn't simply having people on the same itinerary.
It's knowing the people you're traveling with.

Already traveling with us or interested in joining our Japan Cultural Treasure journey, March 26–April 9, 2027? This Zoom gathering is for you.

This time we're going deeper.

We'll explore the places, traditions and experiences that will fill our days—and spend plenty of time getting to know the 50+ travelers who may be sharing them.

### 🇯🇵 Let's Explore Our Journey

We'll take a closer look at some of the incredible experiences ahead, including:
🌆 Tokyo — Discover the energy, neighborhoods and traditions of one of the world's most fascinating cities
🤼 Sumo & Chanko — Experience one of Japan's most iconic traditions and enjoy a traditional sumo wrestler's meal
🥁 Taiko Drumming — Feel the rhythm and energy of this centuries-old Japanese art
🏮 Asakusa — Wander through one of Tokyo's most historic and atmospheric neighborhoods
♨️ Hakone — Slow down, enjoy the mountain scenery and experience a different side of Japan
🍳 Cooking with a Japanese Family — Share food, conversation and everyday culture in a much more personal way
🌿 Kanazawa — Explore beautiful Kenrokuen Garden, Omicho Market and centuries-old Japanese traditions
✨ Traditional Japanese Crafts — Discover the artisans, skills and traditions that have been passed down through generations
🎋 Kyoto — Bamboo forests, temples, Nijō Castle, tea traditions and some of Japan's most iconic scenery
⚔️ Samurai Culture — Step into Japan's fascinating warrior history
🦌 Nara — Discover another side of historic Japan

We'll talk about what we'll see, what we'll experience, what we're most excited about—and some of the cultural traditions that will help us better understand the Japan we're visiting.

But this gathering is about much more than the itinerary.

### ❤️ Let's Get to Know Each Other

Who are you?

Why does Japan interest you?
What experience are you most excited about?
Is there something you've always wanted to see, taste or experience in Japan?

What do you like to do during free time when you travel?
And who might become the person you grab a coffee or sake with, sit beside at dinner, wander through a market with—or travel with again someday?

Shared experiences build relationships.

By getting to know one another before departure, we aren't arriving in Japan as a collection of strangers.

We're arriving as a travel community that has already started laughing, sharing stories, making connections and looking forward to experiencing this adventure together.

Whether you're already booked or still considering joining us, come be part of the conversation.

Ask questions. Share ideas. Meet your travel companions. Discover more about Japan. And get excited about everything waiting for us.
Because one of the best parts of traveling isn't simply where you go.

It's who you share it with.
We may start as solo travelers, but we experience the world together.

It's My Time to Travel | Solo But Not Alone

## 10:30 Mountain Time for Seize the Day Sunday

9:30 AM Pacific | 10:30 AM Mountain | 11:30 AM Central | 12:30 PM Eastern

### ✈️ 50+ Solo Travel Meetup: Find Travel Companions & Your Travel Tribe

Love to travel but don't always have someone to go with?

You've come to the right place.

Seize the Day Sunday is our relaxed online gathering for travelers 50+ to meet new people, make friends, talk about travel, share ideas, and connect with potential travel companions.

☕ Grab your coffee, tea—or whatever works in your time zone—and join us!

Every Sunday is a little different. We swap travel stories, discover new destinations, share tips we've learned along the way, and dream about where we'd like to go next.

But the real purpose is connection.

So many of us are ready to explore, but don't always have someone in our lives ready to say:

“Yes! Let's go!”

That's why this community exists.
You don't need a trip booked.
You don't need to know anyone.
You don't need to bring a travel partner.

That's the whole point.
Come introduce yourself and tell us where you've been and where you'd love to go next. You may discover someone else has the exact same destination at the top of their list.

❤️ Come solo. Make friends. Find your travel tribe.

# 🇯🇵 BONUS: JAPAN CULTURAL TREASURES 2027

### Join us one hour early at 9:30 AM Mountain

8:30 AM Pacific | 9:30 AM Mountain | 10:30 AM Central | 11:30 AM Eastern

Japan is calling! 🇯🇵

Before our regular Sunday Meetup, we're opening the Zoom room early for a special look at our Japan Cultural Treasures journey, March 26–April 9, 2027.

If you're already traveling with us—or you've been looking at Japan and wondering whether this trip might be right for you—please join us.

We'll explore the itinerary, answer questions, talk about what to expect in Japan, and most importantly, start getting to know the people who may be sharing this incredible adventure.
This isn't just about seeing Japan. It's about experiencing its culture.

We'll explore Tokyo, Hakone, Kanazawa, Kyoto and Nara, with experiences that bring us closer to Japanese traditions and everyday life—from sumo and chanko dining, taiko drumming and Japanese home cooking to markets, gardens, temples, a traditional tea experience, the bamboo forest and samurai culture.

🇯🇵 Already booked? Come meet your fellow travelers, ask questions and start building those connections before we ever board the plane.

🌸 Thinking about joining us? Come meet the group, learn about the journey and see what traveling solo—but not alone is really about.

Then at 10:30 AM Mountain, we'll welcome everyone for our regular Seize the Day Sunday gathering.

🌍 Travel solo. But not alone.

❤️ Because the friendships can start long before the journey does.

Give us a try this Sunday. I'd love to see you there!
