Personalized Travel Planning for Seniors & Accessible Travelers
Design a safe, affordable, and stress-free travel experience with expert guidance tailored to your health needs, mobility level, and budget.
About Me
Hi! I’m Mary Johnson, the creator of Traveling Savvy Seniors. As a Certified Travel Advisor, solo traveler, and advocate for senior and accessible travel, I help adults over 50 discover destinations, travel strategies, and resources that make exploring the world easier and more affordable.
Through my own experiences living and traveling abroad, I share practical advice and real-world insights to help seniors travel safely, confidently, and comfortably. I understand the unique challenges that can come with travel after 50—from mobility concerns to healthcare access to budgeting for longer stays—and I help simplify the planning process so you can focus on enjoying the journey.
Because I live abroad and travel on a modest budget myself, the advice I share is based on real-life experience—not theory.
If you're ready to explore the world with confidence, I’d love to help you design a personalized travel plan tailored to your health needs, mobility level, and budget.

WHY WORK WITH ME?
I’M NOT YOUR TYPICAL TRAVEL PLANNER
✅ I LIVE What I Teach. I’m not planning your trip from an office in the US. I’m writing this from Vietnam, where I live on $1,200/month. Before this, I spent months in different parts of Southeast Asia. I know these destinations because I LIVE in them.
✅ I Understand YOUR Challenges I’m not a 25-year-old backpacker. I’m 65+, and I understand mobility concerns and the anxiety of leaving everything familiar.
✅ I Know The Budget Reality. I’m not selling luxury travel. I live on a modest budget, and I can help you do the same. My recommendations are affordable because I live them daily.
✅ I Focus on HEALING, Not Just Travel. This isn’t about checking off tourist sites. I help you choose destinations that address YOUR specific health goals—arthritis relief, mental wellness, cardiac health, longevity, etc., and social connection.
✅ I Provide Practical, Not Theoretical, Advice. I know which thermal springs in Portugal actually help arthritis. I know which neighborhoods in Chiang Mai are walkable because I walked them. I know which Vietnamese coffee shops have the best WiFi because I worked from them.
✅ I’m Invested in YOUR Transformation. Your success is my success. When clients email me photos from their new favorite café in Lisbon or tell me their pain decreased, that’s why I do this work.
WHO THIS IS FOR (AND WHO IT'S NOT FOR)
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
✅ You’re 50+ and ready to prioritize your health and happiness
✅ You’re inspired by the idea of slow travel but unsure where to start
✅ You have health concerns and need destinations that support healing
✅ You’re on a retirement budget and need affordable options
✅ You want expert guidance from someone who’s actually doing this
✅ You’re willing to step outside your comfort zone with support
✅ You value personalized service over generic advice
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF:
❌ You’re looking for luxury travel or all-inclusive resorts
❌ You’re not willing to spend 2+ weeks in a destination (slow travel requires time)
❌ You’re not open to international travel
❌ You’re not ready to invest in yourself and your health
❌ You expect instant results without effort
