Welcome to FLIPSIDE OF MIDLIFE™️! In this episode, I chat with travel advisor Claudia Goettig. She’s the Director of Concierge and Guest Experience at the Arizona Biltmore and has her own travel agency, too! 

With over 30 years in hospitality, Claudia shares her take on how to make travel experiences meaningful and memorable, especially for women in midlife and beyond.

• How to simplify the holiday season by gifting experiences instead of things

• The benefits of using a travel advisor to plan hassle-free trips

Get inspired by Claudia's advice on creating deeper, more intentional travel experiences that bring joy to this stage of life, AND hear about a river cruise that could be your next unforgettable adventure!
