My 10 Most Popular Travel Posts on Forbes 2025
As the New Year begins, many of us pause and take stock of the past year’s experiences.
Most of my travel writing, this past year as always, was geared toward the interests and sensibilities of luxury travelers over 50, as that’s the niche I know best.
In addition to my posts (and those of my talented cadre of contributors), which you may have read on More Time To Travel, I published 60 posts on Forbes this year, covering a wide range of topics—such as hotel, resort and spa reviews; glimpses into fine-dining venues; lists of gourmet food products; wine tourism destinations; traveler and travel industry profiles; cruise ship news and reviews,; and helpful travel tips and gear.
Below are my 10 most popular posts published on Forbes Travel that may interest readers here.
