Hey, Explorers!

There’s a certain rhythm to a weekday afternoon in a Jakarta cafe. Between the hum of the espresso machine and the muffled chatter of the crowd, I usually find my own little pocket of focus—scrolling, clicking, and getting things done on my laptop while the world passes by.

It was during one of these “people-watching” sessions that a lady, likely in her 60s, leaned over with a curious smile. “Are you studying?” she asked.

I think she’d been watching me for a while. She was there with her helper, taking a well-deserved break after a walk through the mall. I smiled back and told her I was actually working on my travel planning business.

“A travel agency?” she asked.

“Something like that,” I explained. “I organize group tours every now and then.”

Her eyes lit up, but then she asked something that stuck with me: “Do you do trips for older people? At this age, it’s hard to travel with the younger ones sometimes. Even my own children lose their patience. We’re just… slow,” she said, letting out a soft laugh.

There was a little tug at my heart hearing that. Having traveled often with my Dad, I knew exactly what she meant. She wasn’t looking for a “tour”—she was looking for kindred spirits who moved at the same pace.

The Same Pace, a Different Rhythm

Whether we’re 25 or 75, I think we’re all looking for the same thing: travel mates who “get” us.

In our community, we have plenty of explorers in their 60s who are probably fitter than the majority of their peers—climbing mountains and diving into the deep blue without breaking a sweat. They are a constant inspiration. But the truth is, not everyone is built the same, and that shouldn’t mean the exploring has to stop.

It got me thinking: why not create a space specifically for this? A way to travel where the “slow” isn’t a burden, but the whole point.

Introducing: The Senior Explorers Series

Being in a later season of life shouldn’t mean a monotonous one. It should still be full of laughter, new sights, and the joy of a shared journey. At least, that’s exactly the kind of life I want for myself when I reach that phase.

We’re starting with a few select packages, but we’re always happy to make extra arrangements for other destinations to ensure your journey is as seamless as possible.

Please share this to anyone you know that may be looking for this kind of trip! :)
