Professional Travel Writers / InfluencersWith more than 30 years of professional scuba diving photojournalism and destination travel writing experience in both print and online publications, we’re a sure bet. Suffice to say we are not hobby travelers with a blog. We are business travel professionals who exude passion for travel & truly enjoy being ambassadors for the travel community.
Internationally Published PhotographersWith 52 magazine cover shots to our credit, and numerous double page spreads and magazine features you can rest assured knowing we know how to capture images that tell the story.
Brand AmbassadorsWe view ourselves as being your partners and demonstrate professionalism in all we do. Whlie other travel writers are laying by the pool downing bar drinks, we are off participating in local adventures to gather editorial content, photographs and video content that will feature your destination, brand, or property in the best possible light.
Accomplished SpeakersWe are as comfortable presenting seminars at large industry trade shows as we are performing impromptu presentations when asked.
Results MatterWe seek results that are mutually beneficial for all parties concerned. Our goal is not just a job well done, but it is to exceed your expectations as well as our own. We get a kick out of that.

“Stats as of June 2018”
We view Third Age Expeditions as being a work in progress and adhere to the Japanese conecpt of Kaizen, a business philosophy of continuous improvement. As we grow our online presence and our social media stats shine like the moon and the stars and the sun, we will be all Whirling Dervishes about it here.
PLEASE NOTE: We no longer participate with KLOUT (we earned a 67 score) as they lost all relevancy when after we had not accessed their website for several months, we signed on and were welcomed back with the message that we were experts on topics we had never mentioned, let alone posted anything about such as Spiders or Abstract Art?
