The Senior Safe Travel Booking System
The Senior-Safe Travel Booking System: Book Flights, Hotels & Cruises Online with Complete Confidence
Stop feeling anxious every time you try to book travel online. This beginner-friendly guide shows you exactly how to spot scams, find the best prices, and book your next trip safely — step by step.
You're Not Alone If You Feel This Way...
❌ "I want to book my own travel, but I'm afraid of getting scammed"
❌ "How do I know if a website is real or fake?"
❌ "Last time I booked online, the price kept changing every time I looked"
❌ "There are so many fees I didn't expect — I felt tricked"
❌ "My kids offer to book for me, but I want to do this myself"
Here's the truth: Scammers specifically target travelers 55+ because they know many seniors didn't grow up booking travel online. But that doesn't mean you can't learn to do it safely and confidently.
What If You Could Book Your Next Trip Without Fear?
Imagine opening your laptop, finding a great deal on a flight or hotel, and booking it yourself — confidently — knowing you're protected from scams, hidden fees, and fake websites.

I'm an attorney, social worker, and travel expert who specializes in helping seniors travel confidently and independently. After seeing too many people in my community fall victim to travel scams — losing hundreds or even thousands of dollars — I created this system to protect seniors from predatory booking sites and give them the tools to book travel safely on their own. This isn't just theory. These are the exact steps I teach my own family members and clients to use every time they book a trip.
