The Ultimate Guide to Solo Travel After 60
You've earned the right to go it alone. Now go with the confidence that comes from actually knowing your rights.
Written by a retired attorney of 30 years, this is the guide I wish someone had handed me before my first solo trip — the roadmap that turns "should I really do this by myself" into "let's get you out the door."
Inside, you'll get:
✔️ The exact federal rights airlines and hotels won't volunteer — TSA Cares, ADA-required accessible rooms, denied boarding compensation, and what to say (and get in writing) when a flight falls apart
✔️ How to pick a first solo destination that's forgiving instead of thrilling — plus 4 solo-tested starter cities
✔️ Why Medicare stops at the border, and exactly what to ask your Medicare Advantage plan before you fly
✔️ The scams built to target travelers going it alone, by name — and how to make yourself a harder target
✔️ A carry-on-only packing list built for a bag only you will lift
✔️ What to actually do if you lose a passport, need care abroad, or get bumped from a flight
✔️ A full 30-day countdown checklist — 30 days, 14 days, 7 days, and the day before, laid out so nothing gets missed
This isn't generic travel-blog advice. It's a legal-strategist's playbook for traveling solo after 60 — practical, specific, and built to go in your carry-on as a real reference, not just a read-once PDF.
