What started as a travelogue for family and friends developed into Marquestra, a platform where Nathalie McNabb shares travel stories about her journeys around the planet, packed with practical information, money-saving tips, and destination guides, all complemented by beautiful photography. Intended for the 40+ age group, Marquestra offers travel experiences from soft adventures to cultural exploration for independent travelers.

Cindi Conley started traveling later in life, which led to her blog Traveling Later. She grew up reading books about faraway places and idolizing a world-traveling uncle. She dreamed about travel and knew her life would evolve around it sooner or later. Her first big trip was to Fiji at 26 but another eight years passed before she left the U.S. again. Now Cindi travels wherever and whenever she can, always looking for five-star luxury on a 3.5-star budget. She's a "check my bag" kind of traveler blogging about making travel easy and falling into the story.

Judy Freedman is a post-50 -- or should I say as of recently, post-60 -- baby boomer blogger where she goes by the name JudiBoomergirl. Her lifestyle blog, A Baby Boomer Woman's Life After 50, is targeted to the millions of baby boomer women (born between 1945-1964) who are going through a similar life journey in mind, body, and spirit. Widowed at the age of 50, she has been reinventing herself for the past 10 years. Her philosophy is to age gracefully, be optimistic about the future, and keep her chin up: so her neck stays forever wrinkle-free.
