This issue of our newsletter brought to you by Thrifty Traveler Premium Hello Reader, 🧭 Where in the World?We’re so busy seeing things here in Valencia, Spain, that we’ve barely had a chance to upload photos! The dust (and ashes) of the monumental Fallas celebration have settled, and we’re lucky enough to stay on in Valencia for another week to report on the more normal, everyday experiences in this city. Those experiences include paella – the real deal cooked over wood fires as we’ve never tasted before. We’ve seen the UNESCO World Heritage Lonja de la Seda (Silk Exchange), a rare civic building in the Gothic style from the 15th Century. We’re about to visit the Lladró factory and hit some balls at the renowned El Saler Golf Club and Parador. We get to relax in style between excursions in one of the most calm, comfortable, and well-appointed hotels in the country, Only YOU Hotel Valencia. We stayed here a couple nights and liked it so much we extended our stay. Traveling to Valencia? We highly recommend you check out these Top Reasons to Visit Valencia. Follow Travel Past 50 on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube to see our Fallas photos and videos (to be posted over the next couple weeks). 🛫 Get Going: Tours We Recommend For YouThis week is your last chance to sign up for our Travel Past 50 tour to Sweden and Norway.

Hello Reader, 🧭 Where in the World? It’s summer and I have an outsized desire to talk about the weather. We’re based in the North Country for the summer, traveling a bit in Minnesota and a couple other U.S. destinations. This time of year, we’re looking for every opportunity to visit friends, relax lakeside, and even work or read outside on a shady deck or screened porch. Summer is fleeting, so we remind ourselves: carpe diem! Book now for the last spot on our Ireland tour. And, have one on...
Hello Reader, 🧭 Where in the World? However you plan to spend the 4th of July weekend, let’s hope you have safe travels, relaxing afternoons with friends or family, and plenty of grilling and potluck dishes to share. The holiday starts now for us. Kris is planning a day trip to her friend’s lake place, a golf game, and a session at the kiddy pool this week. We prefer to stay close to home on the 4th. If you're thinking of setting off explosives, please think twice. Consider the noise impact...
Hello Reader, 🧭 Where in the World? We are busy back at home after a couple quick jaunts, including Kris's 50th college reunion.

It was record-breaking attendance for a Carleton College reunion, and even our class (consider the disaffected era) exceeded expectations. Remarkably, the gathering wasn’t a trip down memory lane. The tone reflected the group’s engagement in the present and concern for the future....
