I am a school teacher who was bitten by the travel bug many decades ago. My husband Billy has come along for the ride and now shares my dream to travel the world with our three children.The kids Pollyanna, 13, Cooper, 12 and Tommy 9 are in love with plane trips (thank goodness) and discovering new places, experiences and of course Disneyland.

  • Enjoyed your article but definitely can tell some of your issues are because of your age, (not good or bad, that is who you are right now). But my question is I am older 50 and was thinking it might be a fun retirement job. Make some money but also travel some. I been in military so the roommates in a small cabin not a concern for me. But from your experience do they hire old people like me?
