The Indulgent  Traveler: Golden Edition

I'm Ali Webb, The Indulgent Traveler:Golden Edition

More time to explore. More reasons to indulge.

After decades of exploring and writing about the world, I’m beginning a new chapter: Indulgent Traveler: Golden Edition, for senior travelers who still have places to go, things to learn, and meals to remember.

 

My idea of indulgence includes a wonderful hotel and a memorable dinner, but also time to linger over breakfast, wander through a village, or hear the stories that bring a place to life. As we grow older, knowing what makes a trip enjoyable becomes one of our greatest travel assets.

 

Golden Edition combines firsthand travel stories with practical details that help us choose wisely. How much walking does an excursion require? Are there stairs or an elevator? Is the hotel conveniently located? When is a guide worth the expense—and when would an afternoon at a café be the best possible plan? Comfort, accessibility, and a manageable pace deserve as much attention as the view.

 

You’ll find distinctive hotels, local restaurants, cultural experiences, cruises, and journeys close to home and farther afield. I’ll also explore travel with partners, friends, and multiple generations of family, recognizing that everyone brings different interests, energy, and needs to a trip.

 

My reporting roots run deep. I began my career at a small Texas newspaper and have written hundreds of travel columns for newspapers and travel websites. My work in government, conservation, and philanthropy has strengthened my interest in the people, history, and communities behind the destinations. Wherever I go, I want to understand the place as well as enjoy it.

 

Golden Edition is an invitation to keep exploring—with curiosity, confidence, and room for a little indulgence.

Come along. There’s still so much to see.
