About The Oldish Traveler

Get ready to hit the road, fly to new lands or sail to another shore. I'm here to help.

​

I’m Clay. Travel, writing and photography are my passions. And I want to share them all with you.

 

While this blog is aimed at older travelers, I think you’ll find it a great resource for anyone who likes to get out and see the world. Here, you can find great sites to visit, places to stay and eat.

​

You can also find articles on the best travel gear to pack on your adventures. Cameras, phones, gadgets, bags - whatever I can find that will make your life on the road just a little easier.

Make sure you keep an eye out for TOT (The Oldish Traveler) TIPS - Money saving ideas and travel hacks to keep costs down and enjoyment up.

 

A little about me. I got the travel bug when I was 13 years old, attending the National Scout Jamboree in Pennsylvania. Along the way, I walked through the Capitol Building and the majestic monuments of Washington, D.C., saw the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia and caught my first Major League Baseball game at old Veteran’s Stadium. I was hooked.

 

Travel became a cornerstone of my life. Having an Anglo-Irish wife with family scattered throughout Ireland and England has added richly to our experiences. As a result, I lived in England for a decade and traveled extensively through Europe for both business and pleasure. My family has been by my side throughout these adventures with the wife and kids going coast-to-coast and across the Atlantic numerous times.

 

I’m based in Dallas, Texas but South Carolina will always be home. Don’t be surprised to see a disproportionate amount of content coming from the Lone Star and Palmetto states.

Finally - I’d love to hear from you. Drop me a line through the comments section below.

 

Cheers to our next adventure
