Life Lessons and Love Beyond Fifty, A Traveler's Chronicle
Manage episode 400564695 series 3516568
Have you ever packed your life into an RV and hit the open road? My guest, Carol Colborn, did just that, and she's here to take us on a journey across North America, narrating her transformative expedition from city life in the Philippines to the boundless adventures of RV living. Carol's infectious enthusiasm for exploration after 50 will have you rethinking your own notions of retirement and adventure. From facing the challenges of adapting to a new culture and lifestyle to experiencing the electrifying quest for the Northern Lights, Carol's story is a vibrant tapestry woven with threads of discovery and resilience.
Imagine finding love in the digital age, then whisking away on an eight-year RV odyssey with your beloved. Carol didn't just imagine it — she lived it, and she's chronicled her experiences in her delightful book "Carolina: Cruising to an American Dream." Peek into her life as she shares the 'Seven Qs' to a fulfilling partnership and how emotional intelligence played a pivotal role in her relationship.
She imparts some practical wisdom for those yearning to roam post-retirement. She extols the virtues of slow travel, the joy of pursuing passions like writing and photography, and the importance of community and family in one's later years. Carol's reflections, captured in her blog "Cruising After 70," offer a window into her world of cultural assimilation, personal evolution, and the sparks of joy that come from a life well-traveled.
