“What Do You Expect? You ARE Over 50…” And Other Nonsense Meant to Dismiss

by Shirley Piccarreto

Just a few days after returning home from three full weeks exploring Cambodia, I found myself in tears on a not-so-comfortable plastic exam table in my chiropractor's office. Three weeks of hiking, biking, and wandering through temples in 100+ degree tropical heat – and I had felt fantastic...

🧭 Escape & Discover

There are some places that feel layered in the best possible way, and Cape Town is one of them.

You have the steady presence of Table Mountain watching over the city, the ocean stretching out in deep blues, and neighborhoods that each seem to carry their own rhythm. It’s the kind of place where you can take a cable car up the mountain in the morning, stroll along the waterfront in the afternoon, and sit down to a relaxed, memorable meal in the evening.

What makes Cape Town especially appealing is that you don’t have to rush it. You can take your time to enjoy the views from Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, explore local markets, or simply sit by the sea and watch the light change.

It’s also a place of contrasts. Beauty and history sit side by side, and if you choose to explore a little deeper, there are meaningful stories here that stay with you long after the trip ends.

If you’re drawn to destinations that offer both ease and depth, Cape Town has a quiet way of pulling you in.

🌍 Smart Travel Tip

Plan one “anchor” activity for the day and let the rest stay open.

It’s tempting to fill an itinerary, especially when you’re somewhere new. But having just one thing you really want to do (a walk, a museum, a lunch spot) gives your day structure without making it feel rushed. Everything else can unfold naturally around it.

It often leads to the best kind of travel days where there are no schedules.

Holding on to the Little Moments

It’s easy to think a travel journal has to be detailed or neatly written to be worth keeping. But the ones people return to again and again are usually much simpler and much more personal.

It’s not really about recording everything you did. It’s about capturing what stayed with you.

That might be the taste of something you tried for the first time, a conversation you didn’t expect, or a small moment that made you pause. Even a few lines can be enough to bring it all back later.

There’s no one “right” way to do this. Some people like carrying a small notebook to jot things down as they go. Others prefer to gather a few thoughts and photos and put them together once they’re home. And for some, a digital journal feels easier and more natural.

What matters is that it fits into your trip without feeling like a task.

You don’t need to write every day. In fact, it often works better if you don’t. Just write when something stands out – when a moment feels worth keeping.

Over time, those small notes become something surprisingly meaningful. Not a perfect record of your trip, but a way to return to how it felt to be there.
