Essential Senior Travel Tips for Memorable Adventures

About Us

Your Journey, Our Lifetime of Experience

For more than five decades combined, we’ve explored the world — together and individually — collecting stories, insights, and practical wisdom that shape the way we help other retirees travel today. We understand what makes a trip meaningful, comfortable, safe, and truly unforgettable, because we’ve lived it ourselves.

Travel has been a central part of our lives: a shared passion that began early in our relationship and continues to enrich every chapter of our retirement. Though we have different interests, those differences make us exceptional travel companions — and an even better team for helping others discover the world with clarity, confidence, and joy.

Meet John

John’s travel story began long before this business ever existed. Born in England and schooled in Italy, he developed a global perspective early in life. His seven years in the British military took him around the world — Egypt, Ethiopia, Northern Ireland, Cyprus, Germany, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands — exposing him not just to new landscapes, but to different cultures, histories, and ways of life.

After his service, John joined British Airways, where he deepened his understanding of travelers’ needs and preferences. His natural customer service instincts made him a trusted advisor to countless passengers — from first‑time travelers to seasoned globetrotters. Today, he brings that same attentive care, cultural insight, and practical knowledge to each itinerary we build.

Meet Sue

Sue’s love of travel is woven deeply into her lifelong passion for history. Throughout her professional career in the safety and security industry, she traveled extensively — gaining a firsthand understanding of safe travel practices, risk awareness, and the logistical considerations that matter most as we age.

Family has always been central to Sue’s travel experience. She raised a son who began traveling at two years old and grew up exploring the world — a love that ultimately led him to a career with a major airline. That commitment to family, comfort, and connection is part of what makes Sue’s approach to travel planning so uniquely personal.

Why We Started Senior Select Travel Consulting

As retirees ourselves, we understand how travel preferences evolve with time. We know the importance of comfort, accessible pacing, thoughtful logistics, and destinations that offer enrichment without exhaustion. Most importantly, we know how deeply meaningful it is to use this chapter of life to explore, reconnect, learn, and savor.

Our mission is simple: to help fellow retirees design travel experiences that feel safe, effortless, and completely tailored to who they are.

We’ve traveled by air, sea, rail, and road — and we use that collective experience to explain the advantages, challenges, and nuances of every option. We aren’t tied to any cruise line, airline, or tour company, which means our recommendations are always honest, unbiased, and designed around your comfort.
