For more than 15 years, I've been organizing and leading small-group cultural tours around the world. These trips are specifically designed for active Baby Boomers and have all been 5-star rated and reviewed by my past clients.
Just some of the locations I continue to lead trips to include Antarctica, Cuba, Mexico's Copper Canyon, Cambodia, India, Vietnam, and throughout the Mediterranean (Spain, Italy, France, Portugal) and others (Armenia & Georgia and Finnish & Swedish Lapland).
During these trips, I love to share off-the-beaten-path locations and unique experiences, such as olive oil and caviar tastings, wine and spirit tastings, foodie tours and market walks, cooking classes and demonstrations, and when possible, I always introduce my clients to the local people, often getting into their homes and places of business to see how they live and work. We use expert local guides to be our interpreters, offer local history, answer questions, and provide us with insights into the local customs and more.
My YouTube channel, The Continental DRIFTER® (https://youtube.com/continentaldrifter) is where I share travel and photography tips with a large list of mature travelers who have remained loyal to my brand throughout the years.
I always say, "Life's too short not to travel!"

Last time we spoke about 10 Good “Mistakes” to Make While Traveling and as long as you minimize them, hopefully, you won’t regret making these mistakes—well, not too much, anyway. Booking Accommodation Far from the Action: It’s a drag at first, but it forces you to explore areas you wouldn’t otherwise. Plus, you get to see the city’s “morning face” before the tourists swarm in as it will likely be quieter, less expensive and much less crowded than being in the center. Misunderstanding Currency Conversion: Yeah, you might overpay for that trinket, but it’s a crash course in…

Getting Lost: Sure, it’s nerve-wracking at first, but getting lost often takes you off the beaten path. It’s how you stumble upon those hidden gems—quaint cafés, secret gardens, interesting artisans—that don’t make it into the travel guides. Plus, it’s a great story for the grandkids. Trying “Weird” Foods: That initial grimace could turn into a grin. You’ll never know until you try, and sampling the local cuisine is like a handshake with the culture. Even if you don’t like it, at least your taste buds had an adventure! Overpacking: This mistake helps you master the art of …
