Have you ever come home from a trip feeling like you needed a vacation after your vacation? You raced from one landmark to the next, checked every “must-see” box, and returned with hundreds of photos—but not enough stories. Slow travel is the antidote to that kind of travel fatigue. It’s not about doing less. It’s about experiencing more deeply.

Planning a Founder’s Circle tour might look like a cozy afternoon on the sofa with a laptop, coffee, and maps spread out—but behind those notes and clicks is a careful process of shaping something meaningful. Every detail, from a tucked-away café to the flow of each day, is chosen with intention. At Infinite Vagabonds, our Founder’s Circle tours are more than itineraries—they’re journeys designed for women 50+ who want culture, connection, and community.

Traveling in a group after 50 can be one of life’s most rewarding experiences. You get to explore new places, enjoy shared experiences, and connect with like-minded women — all while creating memories that last a lifetime. But not all group trips are created equal. The best experiences come when you choose a tour that fits your pace, comfort level, and interests. Here are five things to consider when selecting your next group trip to make it smooth, enjoyable, and full of mea

Some cities hum quietly in the background. New Orleans? She sings — out loud, in color, with a rhythm that insists you join in. This is a place where strangers become friends over a shared beignet, where music spills from open doorways, and where history isn’t tucked away in museums but woven into every street corner, balcony, and bite of gumbo. For women travelers, especially those seeking connection, inspiration, and a little joy in the unexpected — New Orleans is pure magi

Travel after 50 isn’t about checking boxes — it’s about creating moments that feel just right for you. Some women thrive on adventure, others on connection, and some love a perfect blend of both. The truth? There’s no “right” way to travel — but knowing your style helps you choose trips that match your pace, passions, and personality. This quick interactive read-along quiz will help you discover the travel style that fits you best.

At Infinite Vagabonds, we believe travel is about more than just seeing a place — it’s about experiencing it with intention, connecting deeply, and feeling fully present in the journey. That’s the heart behind the Founder’s Circle: a limited series of one-time, small-group adventures designed especially for women 50+ who crave travel that’s meaningful, beautiful, and community-centered. These first tours aren’t just about where we’re going — they’re about how we go.

You don’t have to go far to go deep. At this stage in life, many of us are craving something different from travel — not just more places, but more meaning. Not more miles, but more connection. That’s why I created Infinite Vagabonds: to design travel experiences for women 50+ who are seeking beauty, culture, and community — not just sightseeing. And at the heart of everything we do is the circle: small group journeys rooted in trust, intention, and shared experience.

Sometimes, it only takes crisp fall air, golden leaves underfoot, and a warm cup of cider shared with kindred spirits. That’s the magic of autumn in Michigan — and why it’s the perfect setting for a small group journey built around connection, culture, and cozy celebration.

“You don’t have to go far to go deep.” That’s something I’ve come to believe more strongly with every journey I take. And nowhere was that more evident than on my recent research trip across Michigan.

“Michigan — who knew?” I found myself saying that more than once as I traveled across the state, guided by generous, welcoming women from local tourism offices who helped open my eyes to everything Michigan has to offer.

The Founder’s Circle is a new series of small group, soulful journeys for women 50+. These aren’t mass-market tours. They’re early-edition, co-created experiences — designed for women who crave community, creativity, and a different kind of pace.

As our unforgettable Southern Arizona tour came to a close, the final day offered one last, beautifully curated mix of scenic wonder, community engagement, and feel-good fun. From a tranquil morning cruise through canyon country to a rousing organ concert over slices of pizza, Day 5 captured everything we’d come to love about this journey: connection, discovery, and joy.

We’re back with Part 4 of our Southern Arizona tour, continuing Day 2 (see Southern Arizona Tour - Part 3: Art, Wine & Hidden Histories) with an afternoon and evening full of serene landscapes, local flavors, and vibrant small-town energy. From the blooming trails of Boyce Thompson Arboretum to dinner and lights in historic Gilbert, this day offered the kind of slow travel experiences our guests—especially women over 50—truly appreciate.

After two inspiring days exploring the desert’s natural beauty and cultural richness, Part 3 of our Southern Arizona tour introduced an entirely new layer of discovery. From the futuristic vision of Biosphere 2 to the artistic energy at Triangle L Art Ranch, followed by an indulgent afternoon at Windmill Winery and a walk through hidden tunnels beneath historic Florence, this leg of the journey reminded me just how full of surprises Arizona can be.

Inside Our Visits to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum & Tucson’s Historic Presidio At Infinite Vagabonds, I’m always looking for places where the land tells a story—and where travelers 50+ can connect, reflect, and experience something new. On my recent tour through Southern Arizona, I found just that in two unforgettable site visits: the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and the Presidio San Agustín del Tucson.

Tucked into the heart of the American Southwest lies a land shaped by time, wind, and water—a place where nature speaks in sandstone curves and crimson cliffs. Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend are two of the most breathtaking wonders in this region, quietly nestled within the Navajo Nation. While they’ve become iconic photo spots, there’s far more to them than meets the lens.

Exploring the Navajo Nation is a journey of deep connection and discovery. As a place steeped in history, culture, and natural beauty, it offers an experience that’s both enriching and transformative. If you’re planning your first visit, especially as part of a small group looking for an immersive, meaningful experience, this guide is for you. Here are 10 things to know before you set foot on the sacred lands of the Navajo Nation.

Inside Our Visits to Drury Inn - Phoenix Airport & White Stallion Ranch At Infinite Vagabonds, my goal is to create small group travel experiences for women 50+ that go beyond the usual tourist stops. I seek out places where the spirit of a destination is woven into the hospitality, the stories, and the surroundings—places that feel both welcoming and meaningful.

Imagine sitting in a quiet Hogan, sunlight spilling across the floor, the rhythmic beat of a loom echoing softly. Before you, a Navajo woman’s hands move with practiced grace, weaving wool into a story—each thread a tribute to land, spirit, and legacy.

Fifteen years ago, leaving my cat behind for a least a year with friends, I stepped onto a plane with no return ticket and a heart full of questions.
