Are you too old for adventure travel?
That’s the question posed by Marie-France Roy, a self-professed middle-years Adventure Diva who has visited 65 countries while travelling solo since 1992.
Marie uses her blog “Big Travel Nut” to give the 40+ solo traveller “the means and inspiration to travel safely on your own, stray off the beaten path, and have unusual adventures, all without breaking the bank! ” Is she a natural ally, or what?
From a solo trip hiking the Inca trail of Peru at the age of 41, to skydiving in New Zealand at 46, exploring Istanbul alone at 51 and sailing the Galapagos on a small boat for a week, Marie shares a virtual feast of her own soul-treks to offer us a window into what it means to travel solo as an older woman.
She peppers the tale with lots of helpful tips, including budget savers from hitchhiking and house-sitting to the unexpected treasures of the sharing economy and even how to score accommodations at no cost.
