Dr. Mary Travelbest is inviting you to Build a Community for Women Travelers

Calling all women who travel or who want to travel.

This is time for you to get going and ask questions about your next trip. I'll try to answer that on my next podcast. I've been writing about travel as Dr. Mary Travelbest since 1993. More than 10,000 of you bought and read (and maybe shared) the book, so there is already a group of you worldwide with a passion for independent travel.

Since 1993, I've been on the road a lot, and continue to build tips and make mistakes, so you don't have to make them. Want to know about my latest mishap? I'll tell you at least one on each guide, so join my guide on audio, wherever you get your downloads.
Here's a sample to the most recent test version of the audio. Please tell me what you think, ok?
mmccabe@sunmarketing.net
We're on twitter, instagram, and of course, a Facebook Group and a page where you can book an appointment to talk about travel. So what are you waiting for?  #independenttravel #drmarytravelbest. Our website has been up for 20+ years, so please excuse the dust.
You can take a peek inside, too, but don't buy here (too much money for a used version, this is NOT me, it's a re-seller).

Yes, but be sure to check for accuracy and hallucinations. You will also find bias. But you can start using your phone today to ask about some of the questions you have at this moment. “Do I need to bring an umbrella to England?” That’s a question you already are asking your Alexa, Siri, or other smart device. I just asked that. The answer was that it’s not raining right now in the UK. That did not answer my question, but it helped.  So don’t limit yourself and keep asking questions. Be sure...

Milan Italy

In this episode, the FAQ is: How do I manage increasing technology and security for travel?   Today’s Destination is: Milan, Italy   Today’s Misstep- I almost took a train to Switzerland at the Milan station   Travel Advice: Bring a handheld portable fan for the heat. It can be oppressive.   FAQ: The level of technology and security has stepped up for travel and entertainment. How do I manage it as a senior citizen in a very busy world?   Answer:    There is a growing level of distrust in today’s environment. For some venues, you can no longer use a screenshot of a QR code to access a ticket, so it must be a live link if you don’t have the paper ticket. If you are not on Wi-Fi, you may have trouble accessing the venue, like I did in July at the Symphony, where we used handwritten paper tickets.  The Crowdstrike tech shutdown of computers in July 2024, with thousands of airline flights canceled, was a peek into what could be an even lo...

Here are five I recommend: Walking: Aim for a daily walk to explore your surroundings. It's an easy way to keep your body moving and enjoy the local sights.
