Blogging Boomers Carnival 138 Hosted By The Boomer Chronicles

After years of working at jobs that paid the bills but brought no joy, I walked away from corporate life to pursue the only things I’d ever wanted to do: writing, photography, and travel. In 2007, at the age of 54, I backpacked around the world solo for six months. Since returning, I have continued to travel extensively and write about experiences on my blog, http://holeinthedonut.com, while simultaneously pursuing a new career as a freelance travel writer. Although not opposed to visiting the most popular tourist destinations, my specialty is discovering off-the-beaten-path, little-known places of great beauty that restore my spirit. Having deserted the world of money and material luxury for a simpler, happier life, I often feature stories of like-minded on Hole In The Donut, making it an inspirational as well as an entertaining read.
