Your story matters.
Later life still has room for a new chapter. In your sixties, seventies, eighties, or at your own pace: what would you like to stop putting off?
Perhaps you have started something, taken a detour or rediscovered an old wish. Perhaps you are still looking for a beginning. There is room here for your experience — and for what it might mean to someone else.
Two stories to begin
These two stories are Kurt’s. Now we are opening this space to readers’ experiences. A small step, an open question or a beginning still in progress belongs here too.
KURT GASSNER · YOUR HOST
Alone through South America at 75
Sixty days on the road: Kurt reflects on curiosity, familiar comforts and the moment a postponed wish becomes a decision.
KURT GASSNER · YOUR HOST
Japan on two wheels at 76
After the first days in Osaka, the motorcycle journey begins. Kurt and Anneliese share departures, encounters and the small moments along the way.
