Specializing in Senior Travel

Group Trip on Symphony of the Seas 2024

Hello! I’m Monique, a certified travel agent and the heart behind My Senior Travel Buddies, where I specialize in creating supportive, worry-free travel experiences for seniors who may be uneasy about venturing out alone. I understand that travel can be daunting, especially if you've lost a longtime travel partner or find booking and navigating trips on your own overwhelming. My mission is to make travel accessible, enjoyable, and comforting for you—so you never feel like you’re on this journey alone.

With My Senior Travel Buddies, I bring a personal touch to every trip I organize, handling every detail with care and respect for your unique needs and preferences. I know that travel isn’t just about getting from one place to another; it’s about feeling safe, comfortable, and connected while you’re exploring the world. For my clients, I’m more than just a booking agent. I’m a supportive presence before, during, and after their trip—a familiar face dedicated to ensuring that each experience is meaningful, accessible, and enjoyable.

One of my main focuses is on providing companionship and guidance through group tours and cruises where I act as the host, so you always have a trusted person to rely on throughout your travels. Whether it’s a European river cruise or a rail journey across scenic landscapes, I’ll be there to help with any needs that arise, so you can fully enjoy your experience without stress. I see these trips as building relationships, not just planning vacations, and I cherish the connections I form with each client.

As someone who is committed to accessible travel, I design itineraries with all levels of mobility in mind. I understand that not everyone wants—or is able—to walk long distances, so I’m here to arrange options that are tailored to you. Whether that means finding tours with minimal walking, ensuring accessible accommodations, or simply offering assistance with every stage of your journey, I’ve got you covered.

Working with me, you can expect hands-on support and an itinerary that feels perfectly matched to your travel style and physical comfort. From private tours to personalized cruises, I focus on creating trips that are as relaxing as they are inspiring. With me by your side, you’re free to embrace new adventures and meet new friends, knowing you’ll always have someone there to look out for you.

If you’re ready to see the world without worry, let’s plan your next trip together. Reach out, and I’ll be here to provide the dedicated, compassionate service you deserve, transforming your travel dreams into reality—one thoughtfully planned trip at a time.

Tuscany gourmet food and wine tour

It was an amazing experience. Monique was my point of contact setting up the tours, payments. She set up zoom calls upfront so we could meet fellow travelers. She was extremely helpful. Once there my assumption is we were turned over to her partner Patricia. Pat was amazing & answered all questions while on travel.
