JOSIE WANDERS: GEN X TRAVEL

Welcome! I’m Josie (she/her), a passionate traveller in my fifties who’s lived the typical life of work, marriage, mortgage, and kids. But my dreams are extraordinary, and travel is at the top of that list!

From weekend getaways to an “adult gap year” with my husband, I’m excited to share tips on how to travel like you’re living the high life, all while sticking to a budget.

I’ve explored over 60 countries, staying everywhere from hostels to five-star hotels, flying budget to first class, and dining from street food to Michelin-starred restaurants.

I love luxury but know how to balance it with more affordable choices. I didn’t start travelling on a shoestring until my late thirties, and now I enjoy that style of travel, especially when it leads to the occasional five-star stay or business-class flight.

As someone focused on value-for-money travel, I’m here to help other Gen Xers achieve this same balance! If I can do it, so can you!
