Frankly Abroad

Honest, no-nonsense travel advice for the 50-plus crowd — from a fellow traveler who's made all the mistakes so you don't have to.

I'm Frank. After decades and a whole lot of miles, I've learned that the best trips after fifty come down to knowing what to pack, what to skip, where to go, and what nobody bothers to tell you. So that's what we do here — straight talk, no fear-mongering, no filler.

Every week I break down:

🧳 What to pack (and what'll get you stopped at security)
✈️ Airport, TSA, and airline rules — kept current, because they change
🌍 The best places to travel after 50 — and the ones that'll wreck your knees
🛡️ Travel scams, safety, and the peace-of-mind stuff
🚢 Cruises, trains, tours, and how to travel more for less
