Meet Linda Walter – Your Expert in Group Travel for Adults 55+

Welcome! I’m Linda Walter, founder of Travel Wise and Golden Girls Getaways, and I’m thrilled to help you explore the world with like-minded travelers. Travel is about experiences that transform, connections that enrich, and memories that last a lifetime.

I specialize in group travel for adults over 55, whether you’re looking for a women-only adventure or a co-ed journey. My trips are designed for those who want to experience new cultures, travel safely in a group, and enjoy the camaraderie of others who share their love for exploration. Whether it’s an elegant river cruise, a European getaway, or a relaxing coastal retreat, I take care of all the details so you can focus on enjoying the journey.

Golden Girls Getaways – Women-Only Travel, Designed for You

Through Golden Girls Getaways, I curate enriching and engaging travel experiences exclusively for women over 55. These trips provide the perfect opportunity to meet new friends, share incredible experiences, and travel with confidence in a supportive group. Whether it’s a food a wine filled tour with unique cultural immersion experiences, island-hopping in Croatia, a Danube cruise with no single supplement, or exploring Vietnam and Cambodia, you’ll find a warm and welcoming community of fellow adventurers.

Group Travel That’s Effortless and Exciting

Planning a trip can be overwhelming, but that’s where I come in. I take care of the logistics so you can simply pack your bags and enjoy. With my expertise in group travel, you’ll experience seamless itineraries, comfortable accommodations, and thoughtfully planned excursions that balance sightseeing, relaxation, and cultural immersion.

A Lifetime of Travel Experience

My passion for travel has taken me across six continents and more than 50 countries. I’ve trekked the highest mountains in Africa and Asia, wandered through ancient ruins, cruised along scenic rivers, immersed myself in diverse cultures around the world, and even visited the USSR before the country's dissolution.

Beyond visiting destinations, I’ve also had the privilege of living in Europe on two separate occasions and spending months at a time in different countries, truly experiencing life as a local. Although I've been a travel agent for just a few years, I have been curating trips for family and friends for over 30 years, helping them create unforgettable memories with expertly planned adventures.

Having planned and navigated much of my travel solo, I understand what makes a journey truly special. My firsthand experience allows me to craft group trips that are engaging, well-paced, and filled with unforgettable moments.
