My shelves reflect a life in motion. You'll find slow-travel memoirs, expat-life narratives, wellness and healthy-aging titles, and books about intentional living and life reinvention. I'm drawn to writers who left something behind to find something better — and lived to tell about it honestly. I read to learn, to feel less alone in big decisions, and occasionally to justify my own life choices.

I'm an American writer and slow traveler currently living in Vung Tau, Vietnam, having sold most of what I owned in my mid-60s to relocate to Southeast Asia. I write about slow travel, wellness, and life abroad for adults 50+ at Traveling Savvy Seniors, and I'm the author of The Slow Path to Wellness: How Slow Travel Heals at Every Age (2026).

I believe the best books — like the best travel — slow you down enough to actually change you.
