Hi, we’re Amber and Eric Hoffman — the travel-loving couple behind Travel Europe Over 50.
After more than a decade of full-time travel, countless European train journeys, and two international moves (to Spain and Ireland), we launched this blog to share a more thoughtful, age-aware approach to seeing Europe — one that values comfort, culture, and connection.
Before creating Travel Europe Over 50, we wrote for two successful travel sites: With Husband In Tow and Food And Drink Destinations, where we focused on culinary travel, wine regions, and global experiences. But as we entered our 50s, our travel style shifted. These days, we prefer slower travel, longer stays, and meaningful experiences that reflect how we actually like to explore.
We started Travel Europe Over 50 to help others like us — active, curious travelers who may not move as fast as they used to, but still crave discovery and adventure. Whether you’re planning a leisurely trip through Provence, a train ride across Spain, or your very first European escape, we’re here to help make your journey smoother, more enjoyable, and truly unforgettable.
Because age isn’t a limit — it’s an advantage. Let’s explore Europe, one perfectly-paced trip at a time.
