I fully intend to age gracefully… as soon as I figure out what that means.
FROM THE EDITOR
What Does it Mean to Age Gracefully?
I fully intend to age gracefully… as soon as I figure out what that means.
Smiling beatifically from a rocker, embracing the last vestiges of my teeth? A Colombian mommy makeover every ten years?
Then again, perhaps aging gracefully has nothing to do with the physical. Maybe it’s embracing all the world offers with less judgment… and more curiosity.
That’s the lesson I’ve been taking from our International Living community… where age seems to hold little sway.
Everywhere I look, you’re out there setting the world alight… gray hairs and creaky knees be damned.
There’s an infectious carpe diem I’m grateful to be a part of… and to share in these pages.
Thing is, IL has worsened my fear of missing out (FOMO). There are always new discoveries I have to put on the bucket list.
If you, too, suffer from FOMO, don’t miss my latest European crush: the yet-undiscovered “Paris of the Pyrenees”… Or our feature story on the Balearic Islands—where you don’t have to choose between languorous beaches, a sophisticated cafe culture, or a secluded mountain refuge. It’s all there for the taking.
For the romantics, there’s Gavin Woodward’s search for the “Greek St. Patrick”… a pilgrimage through whitewashed isles imbued with the soul of Hellas.
And a story we’ve long awaited: Ted Baumann’s inside look at Cape Town… a region of South Africa that’s so much more than lions and tigers and buffalo.
Increasingly, we’re hearing rumors that the Adriatic is the place to be… especially if you’re thinking about a smart real estate investment. Find out which country Ronan McMahon says is the real value today. (Hint: every woman’s favorite Daniel Craig as 007 scene.)
Further afield, we’ve got much more for you to explore…
From Costa Rica to the Philippines to Argentina to Thailand, this issue is an ode to those aging with grace—an odyssey for the curious.
