430 folks over 90 traveled with Road Scholar last year! ... I'm so grateful to have a job where I get to work for, talk with, learn from, and share stories of older adults who challenge aging stereotypes every day. Working at Road Scholar has brought me treasured intergenerational relationships (Barbara Winard) and has completely changed the way I think about aging, including my own. It's truly empowering. Journalists - PM me if you want me to introduce you to a nonagenarian to interview!
