About Us

Traveling Savvy Seniors was created from a simple belief: getting older doesn’t mean life has to get smaller. In fact, with the right planning and support, it can become more meaningful, more comfortable, and more fulfilling than ever.

Founded by an American, Mary R. Johnson, who chose to begin a new chapter abroad in her mid-60s, Traveling Savvy Seniors exists to help adults 55+ explore the world at their own pace — not as rushed tourists, but as thoughtful travelers seeking wellness, affordability, safety, and peace of mind. After selling everything and relocating to Southeast Asia, she discovered that a slower, simpler lifestyle was not only possible, but deeply rewarding — though not without real-world challenges that typical travel advice rarely addresses.

That experience became the foundation for the Traveling Savvy Seniors book, (The Slow Path to Wellness: How Slow Travel Heals at Every Age) travel planning services, and consulting programs. Everything offered is grounded in practical, experience-based guidance designed specifically for mature travelers and retirees who want clarity without pressure and support without hype.

Whether you’re considering an extended stay, a “test-drive” trip abroad, or a complete lifestyle change, Traveling Savvy Seniors provides thoughtful planning, honest insights, and compassionate guidance every step of the way.

Because this stage of life isn’t about rushing — it’s about living well, feeling secure, and creating a next chapter that truly fits you. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
