How To Travel Overland Around the World With Your Pet

The Road Chose Me Join me as I travel the world overland. In 2009 I quit my job and set out on the adventure of a lifetime. After reaching the Arctic Ocean in Alaska I turned south, and over the next twenty-two months I drove 40,000 miles to the southern tip of South America in Tierra Del Fuego. Needless to say it was the adventure of a lifetime and it changed me forever. After years of planning and saving I built my ultimate Overland vehicle and set out on my second major expedition. After shipping the Jeep across the Atlantic I circumnavigated Africa, covering 54,000 miles through 35 African countries over the course of three years. The adventure was bigger than I ever dreamed possible, and I'm more throughly addicted than ever before. Now, join me as I show and teach you how to get out and live your own dreams!

40% Of US Travelers Experience International Travel Anxiety

A new Talker Research poll of 2,000 US travelers shows growing anxiety about international travel. While 94% traveled domestically in the past year, only 28% went abroad. Even among those with travel experience, 30% of domestic and 20% of international travelers feel nervous about going overseas. Top concerns include travel delays (42%), transportation and government policies (40% each), and how Americans are perceived abroad (39%). Other fears involve injury (31%), unfamiliar places (27%), past unsafe trips (16%), and bad experiences (15%). Though 88% plan to travel in the next year, 40% are reconsidering due to safety concerns. A secondary AXA Assistance survey of 1,500 US travelers found safety is a major factor, especially for solo travelers. Most travel to visit family (34%), take summer vacations (34%), or enjoy weekend trips (32%). Interest in travel insurance is rising. Although only 10% have used it before, 65% are now considering it for peace of mind (70%), international travel (55%), and avoiding surprise costs (51%). About one-third (32%) see it as a go-to hack, with 45% of international travelers more likely to use it. Key factors when choosing insurance include a trusted provider (50%), personalized coverage (45%), and clear terms (44%). As safety takes center stage in travel planning, more Americans are turning to insurance and careful preparation to feel more secure abroad.

America’s Hidden Gems: 8 Amazing Destinations Boomers Need to Visit

America’s Hidden Gems: 8 Amazing Destinations Boomers Need to Visit Remember when road trips meant an atlas in the glovebox, no GPS yelling at you, and discovering roadside diners that served the best pie you’d ever tasted? For many Baby Boomers, travel has always been about more than just ticking landmarks off a list—it’s about making memories, savoring new experiences, and finding places that speak to your soul. Yet these days, popular spots often feel overrun, overpriced, and frankly, a little exhausting. The good news? America still has countless hidden gems where you can escape the crowds, reconnect with nature, and discover stories you’ve never heard. Whether you’re seeking peaceful beaches, charming small towns, or wide-open spaces under star-filled skies, these eight lesser-known destinations offer a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and genuine charm—tailor-made for Boomers who know that the journey is just as important as the destination. So dust off that suitcase, gas up the car, and let’s hit the road to America’s best-kept secrets! 1. St. Simons Island, Georgia Tucked along Georgia’s Golden Isles, St. Simons Island is the perfect destination if you’re craving peaceful beaches and a touch of history. Picture yourself pedaling along bike paths draped with Spanish moss, wandering through centuries-old ruins at Fort Frederica, or strolling the lively pier village where the scent of shrimp and grits wafts from cozy eateries. Unlike busier beach towns, St. Simons maintains a mellow pace ideal for Boomers seeking relaxation with a dash of Southern charm. It’s the kind of place you visit once and keep coming back to for life. 2. Palm Coast, Florida While Florida is no stranger to tourists, Palm Coast remains blissfully under the radar. Recognized recently as one of the top hidden gems for older travelers, this coastal city blends affordability, natural beauty, and an easygoing atmosphere. Spend mornings exploring the botanical gardens at Washington Oaks, enjoy a gentle round of golf under sunny skies, or savor fresh-caught seafood in family-owned restaurants. Plus, it’s just an hour’s drive from both historic St. Augustine and lively Daytona Beach, making it a perfect base for a Sunshine State adventure without the crowds. 3. Southern Illinois: Shawnee National Forest Who knew Illinois had sandstone cliffs, forested trails, and dramatic rock formations that look straight out of a Western movie? Southern Illinois’ Shawnee National Forest offers all of that and more, minus the tourist mobs. Trails like the Garden of the Gods feature towering rock outcrops and panoramic views that are easy to navigate for hikers of all levels. Between your outdoor adventures, pop into charming small towns like Makanda for local art, wineries, and Midwest hospitality. It’s a wonderful mix of gentle adventure and local culture—perfect for Boomers seeking something new. 4. Medicine Rocks State Park, Montana For Boomers yearning for tranquility and a sense of wonder, Medicine Rocks State Park in eastern Montana feels like stepping into another world. Towering sandstone pillars, honeycombed with ancient carvings and wind-sculpted shapes, rise from the prairie in dramatic fashion. Indigenous tribes once regarded these rocks as sacred, and it’s easy to see why when the sunset paints them in pinks and golds. Hiking here is gentle and uncrowded, offering a meditative escape far from city noise. Bring your camera—the formations and wide-open skies are unforgettable. 5. Cedar Falls, Ohio Nestled within Ohio’s Hocking Hills region, Cedar Falls is a serene gem for nature lovers looking to avoid strenuous hikes or throngs of tourists. The trail to the falls is relatively easy, winding through mossy hemlocks, sandstone cliffs, and cool, shaded glens. At the end of your stroll, you’re rewarded with the sight of a delicate waterfall cascading into a sparkling pool—a scene that feels like a hidden fairy tale. With picnic areas and plenty of gentle paths, Cedar Falls is perfect for Boomers craving beauty, peace, and a manageable outdoor adventure. 6. Bisbee, Arizona If you’ve ever dreamed of discovering a quirky small town full of character, Bisbee, Arizona, should be on your list. Once a bustling mining center, Bisbee has reinvented itself as an artsy enclave perched in the Mule Mountains near the Mexican border. Its winding streets reveal colorful Victorian architecture, vintage shops, and an eclectic array of galleries and cafés. There’s a sense of stepping back in time, mixed with modern creativity and a laid-back vibe that’s perfect for relaxed exploration. Don’t miss the famous Queen Mine Tour for a peek into Bisbee’s colorful past. 7. Great Basin National Park, Nevada In Nevada’s remote eastern corner lies one of America’s least-visited national parks—a gift for travelers who love natural beauty without the chaos of crowded trails. Great Basin National Park offers soaring peaks, ancient bristlecone pine forests, mysterious underground caves, and some of the clearest night skies you’ll ever see. Hike the gentle trails around Wheeler Peak, marvel at the Lehman Caves’ formations, or simply gaze up at a star-strewn sky that feels almost otherworldly. It’s a hidden gem for Boomers who want adventure, serenity, and a touch of cosmic wonder. 8. Assateague Island, Maryland Imagine strolling a windswept beach as wild ponies roam freely in the distance—a scene that feels like pure magic. That’s Assateague Island, stretching along Maryland’s Atlantic coast. This barrier island is famous for its wild horse population, but it also offers gorgeous beaches, peaceful hiking trails, and plenty of birdwatching. Because it’s a national seashore, the island feels blissfully undeveloped, with nothing but dunes, ocean breezes, and the occasional pony peeking over the marsh grasses. It’s the ultimate spot for a quiet seaside escape and a gentle adventure that Boomers will adore. Final Thoughts Here’s the thing: travel doesn’t have an expiration date. In fact, the freedom that often comes with this stage of life means you’re perfectly positioned to explore the places you might have missed during those busy working and family-raising years. These hidden gems aren’t just quiet alternatives—they’re invitations to slow down, soak in the scenery, and collect stories you’ll be telling at dinner parties for years to come. So why settle for crowded attractions and long lines when America has so many secret corners waiting for you? Whether it’s the wild ponies of Assateague, the star-filled skies of Great Basin, or the charming streets of Bisbee, these destinations promise the kind of travel that fills your soul rather than drains your energy. The map of America is dotted with surprises—it’s just a matter of heading down the road less traveled. You’ve earned these adventures. Go out there and make the most of every mile!
