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.

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

“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.

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.
