Welcome to Still En Route.
I’m Mary….nice to meet you here…
“If you’re somewhere in midlife (or a little past it) and still itching to see more, do more, and stay mentally engaged along the way – welcome. We go places here, both on the map and off it.”
Still En Route is about real-life travel, thoughtful reinvention after 60, and practical ways to keep life interesting – without pretending everything is effortless or Instagram-perfect.
Whether you’re planning your next European getaway, looking for ideas that keep your brain (and curiosity) switched on, or exploring flexible projects that help support a travel-forward life, you’re in good company here.
I believe it’s never too late to add a new stamp to your passport, learn something new, or rethink what “retirement” is supposed to look like – preferably with a sense of humor and a decent beverage close at hand.
Follow along to stay en route, or learn more about how I got here.
