🇸🇪 Travel Past 50 Tour to Sweden and Norway! 🇳🇴


This issue of our newsletter brought to you by Thrifty Traveler Premium​

Hello Reader,

Come with us to Scandinavia!

We're announcing our latest Travel Past 50 tour to Scandinavia, September 18-29, 2025. This 12-day tour (with an optional 3-day extension in Copenhagen) offers guests great flexibility while covering Kris and Tom’s favorite places in Sweden and Norway.

Building on our previous experiences in Sweden, we’ll combine city visits starting in Stockholm with spectacular scenery in Jämtland. We’ll explore bits of the historic St. Olav’s Pilgrimage, and dive deep into food and culture – from Sweden’s mountains to the fjords and seaside towns of Trondheim and Bergen, Norway.

Secure your spot now. This is a small-group tour and space is limited to 14 travelers like you.

We’ve partnered with Go Ahead Tours to create this custom Travel Past 50 Tour and streamline the booking process. Check out the full itinerary, all the details, and book your Scandinavian Tour with us HERE.

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.

The tone reflected the group’s engagement in the present and concern for the future....
