About Us
Since starting Where To Next Travel, my business has evolved from friends and family to local travelers, particularly seniors, who love to travel and want to travel together. This led me to develop www.SeniorTravelBuddy.com, a site where local senior travelers can meet others to meet, connect, and plan trips together, saving money and having a lot more fun!
How We Got Started
After planning trips for family and friends for years, and loving to travel myself, it was only natural that after retirement from my career, I began Where To Next Travel in 2007. Since then, we've planned customized trips and wonderful cruises for local seniors and friends, and they've traveled the world.

What works for me are several things: 1. Referrals and past clients. This makes up the bulk of my business because I've sold travel for years. 2. Weekly email newsletter. I have over 1000 personal clients in my database but started with just a few. 3. I have a meetup group called Senior Travel Buddies. We meet 4-5 times a year. Good for groups. And of course, networking all the time. Hope this helps.
Honestly, aside from Facebook, local sites such as this have provided a good return for my business.
