Wise women 50+ who inspire us!

By Evelyn Hannon and Carolyn Ray, JourneyWoman

This article, which was originally written by Evelyn Hannon several years ago, pointed out women over 60 that inspired her when she started blogging in 1997. I thought it was time to update it – both with Evelyn’s original choices and a few of my own, including a few women in their 50s like me.  I’m grateful to all of these women for embracing me and for their support in carrying on Evelyn’s legacy. If you have other rock stars to add, please let us know!

Evelyn writes:  “In 1984 when I first started traveling solo I had no one to mentor me. If there were other women around my age doing what I was doing I had no way of finding them. After all, we hadn’t yet gotten to a point in cyber history where most people had computers in their homes. The terms ‘blog’ and ‘bloggers’ didn’t make their appearance until the late 1990s. By then, JourneyWoman . com was born (circa 1997) and I began reaching out to try and identify other women doing what I was doing.

Today, either via my Journeywoman Newsletter or Twitter and Facebook my list of female contemporaries who travel the world solo continues to grow. I refer to them as my ‘rock star wise women.’ It feels good to be surrounded by these interesting ‘sisters’ who are based around the world. Now, I’d like to introduce them to you.”

Leyla Giray Alyanak – France  Carole Terwilliger Meyers -USA  Zoe Dawes – England  U rsula Maxwell-Lewis – Canada Gaelyn Olmsted – USA

Note: Some of the other ‘originals’ including Donna Meyer, Nancie McKinnon, and Barbara Weibel have since retired or settled down in one place. Keep an eye out for updates from them in other articles . 

Introducing six new solo travel rock stars over 50

Over the past three years, I’ve had the opportunity to meet many amazing women over the age of 50 who inspire us to travel solo and do it in their own unique way.  I hope you enjoy meeting them and learn from their wisdom.  Make sure to show your support by signing up for their emails, and following them on social media.

The Original Women Over 60 Solo Travel Rockstars

rock star of travel

At this moment I am thinking, A sidecar is safer than a motorbike, right?

1. Leyla Giray Alyanak

Age:  69… I should start going backwards soon

Home base:  Bucolic rural Eastern France (local food specialties: cheese, snails, cheese, frogs’ leg, cheese)

Number of countries visited:  96 but I’m not finished

How I am traveling differently at 60+ than I travelled at 45:  Nothing fundamentally different but some things are harder, like getting up after a night on the ground in a tent (a forklift would be handy)

The destination I would go back to in a minute:  Eritrea. No skyscrapers, no pollution, and warm, hospitable people who have been through hell and know how to make great coffee. Too bad it’s closed for business right now…

My two bits of wisdom for other women:  (1) Say YES once you’ve ascertained there’s no danger. I’ve missed many a (probably) wonderful experience by being lazy or overly cautious or simply contrarian. (2) Let common sense rule your travels, not fear.

My websites: women-on-the-road.com and offbeatfrance.com

I met this unforgettable person while traveling: In South Africa, I met a woman who was a friend of a friend. I wrote ahead to let her know I would be in her town, and could she recommend a good place to stay. She picked me up at the bus stop, gave me a room and a bed – and I stayed two months. That’s hospitality! I should add that I found similar hospitality throughout Africa… 

My funniest or most unusual travel experience: Unusual? That would be the time I was chased by a lioness across a narrow plank over a gorge in Nigeria… or when villagers carved a tree trunk into a canoe for me so I could paddle out of a flood with a Catholic priest in the Philippines… or when I was lost in a minefield in Mozambique… or kept at bay by a poisonous snake at nightfall in Borneo… the more you travel, the more experiences you are bound to have!

2. Carole Terwilliger Meyers

Home base:  Berkeley, California

Number of countries visited: 45

How I am traveling differently at 60+ than I travelled at 45: I am more selective about where I choose to go because I have less time to waste. I also realize that now I need safety features like railings to hold on to when I use stairs.

The destination I would go back to in a minute: London. Because it is my all-time favorite place. Most especially I love tea time, black taxis, and plays, not to mention museums and unique shops.

My two bits of wisdom for other women:  (1) Don’t take malaria pills unless you absolutely must (but if they are prescribed, then definitely take them). (2) Surrender to the journey.

I met this unforgettable person while traveling: This is difficult. I need to whittle down a very long list. I will select a guide on a recent trip I took to China. This guy was a frustrated stand-up comedian and he definitely enhanced our trip to and understanding of what can sometimes come across as a very severe place.

My funniest or most unusual travel experience:  The time in Germany when my travel pal got the German word for cathedral mixed up with the word for catheter and didn’t figure it out until the next day. Then we understood what those Germans in the bar found so funny. Yet they still helped us find lodging by the big catheter.

What I’ve learned about life and travel during the pandemic: I have followed all the rules to avoid contracting COVID.  However, when early in the pandemic my 99-year-old Mom took a fall and then a turn for the worse, I drove from San Francisco to San Diego to visit her.  As frightened as I was, I stayed several nights in a hotel–I brought my own pillows and kept the windows open–and I am so glad I did because she died about a month after.  I made another trip to bury her.  How terribly sad that many of us had to make such painful travel decisions.  I stopped in Los Angeles on both of those trips to visit my son and his family, but we kept the visits to only about an hour and we sat out in their backyard.  Recently, I finally got on a plane and visited my daughter and her family in San Antonio. I guess I’ve learned that family trumps all, and that if I am going to risk my life on a trip it will be to visit my loved ones and not to visit a travel destination, not even my favorite one–London.

3. Zoe Dawes

Home base:  North West England

Number of countries visited:  48

How I am traveling differently at 60+ than I travelled at 45:  As I’ve gotten older I seek out more unusual and interesting places rather than sun, sea and sand destinations. The history, culture and food of places fascinates me and meeting local people has become more important. I’m still happy to travel alone but the experience is now sometimes more important than the destination.

My two bits of wisdom for other women:  (1) Ask a guide or accommodation provider for recommendations for where locals eat – you’ll get a much more genuine culinary experience than at a tourist centre. (2) Don’t be afraid to get a bit lost (within reason!) as you never know what hidden gems you may come across.

My website: thequirkytraveller.com  or find me on Instagram , Facebook , and Twitter .

The destination I would go back to in a minute:  India. I finally got to visit it a few years ago and it was everything everyone says – and more … Sensory overload at times and never boring. Agra was fascinating; the Red Fort bustling with locals enjoying a day out and I just loved the Taj Mahal. It is definitely the most beautiful building I have ever seen. Delhi was life in its most vibrant incarnation and Shimla was fascinating with its echoes of the British Raj and air of faded magnificence. I barely touched the surface and must return soon.

Nepal, a country I visited 35years ago, has always been a favourite destination. Not only for the mountain scenery and beautiful architecture but also for the very friendly people. Last year I visited the Galapagos Islands which are even more engaging than I expected – amazing wildlife and unique ecology. So these three are my tops – for now.

I met this unforgettable person while traveling:  A Buddhist monk in Pokhara, Nepal. He was on a pilgrimage to the sites related to Buddha. As the sun set over the Annapurna Range, he talked about his faith and travels, why he loved being a monk and was such a gentle, wise, funny man. I’ve been interested in Buddhism ever since. (He said I should become a nun, but that was a step too far!)

My funniest or most unusual travel experience:  Going into and exploring the infamous Walled City (now pulled down) in Hong Kong is one that I’ll never forget. It was a maze of damp, narrow, dark passages, home to the notorious Triads and there was a real air of menace. I was very glad to escape in one piece.

What I’ve learned about life and travel during the pandemic: some of the best sights and experiences are on your doorstep. I’m lucky to live in a beautiful part of the world – the Lake District is on my doorstep. But right outside my back door, I discovered walks through fields and along the Lancaster Canal that I had never seen before.

4. Ursula Maxwell-Lewis

Age: 73 (doesn’t feel like it!)

Home base: Cloverdale, British Columbia, Canada

Number of countries visited: 30 (Maybe more. Lost track. Loved ’em all!)

How I am traveling differently at 60+ than I travelled at 45:  I don’t think I do! If opportunity knocks, I go! Of course, now my kids pay their own way, and go without me.

The destination I would go back to in a minute: Borneo (Sabah – Sarawak). Exotic river lodges. Dramatic history. Marvellous locals. Brilliant wildlife. Orangutans swinging from branch to branch. Hornbills. Probosci’s monkeys at sunrise. Mating fireflies creating a living Christmas tree in inky blackness on a milk chocolate river. What’s not to love?

My two bits of wisdom for other women:  Talk to people – the news vendor, your fellow train traveller, your aircraft seat-mate. Normally the information, and the person, are priceless. These folks are the essence of my adventures. Truly unique, they give me faith in the future. Last year, ex- Prague, an Albanian passenger earnestly entreated me to immigrate to Albania. “You could be a queen!” he exclaimed. I’m still considering it…

I met this unforgettable person while traveling: In Pfaffenhoffen, Alsace:-“Ursula, we will go on a journey,” announced my courtly octogenarian watchmaker host. Adjourning to his well-stocked library, we discussed politics, religion, history, and geography. He had never travelled, but was better informed than most people. Fluent in five languages, he was studying Italian – to enable him to converse with a newly arrived Italian watchmaker.

My funniest or most unusual travel experience: Regressing – and redressing – as a 16th-century ‘lady’ for the Quebec City New France Festival. Securely laced into a revealing silver-green and grey period gown, I board a horse-drawn carriage procession through Old Quebec City for the Lord’s and Ladies’ Ball hosted by King Louis XIV. A gala soirée, indeed! On the Saturday, again costumed, we stroll through the old city basking in the ambiance and attentions of admiring tourists who enjoy our courtly interactions with fellow nobles as much as we do. All I lack is a lady’s maid to help me escape from those darned stays!

Gaelyn Olmsted aka Geogypsy

5. Gaelyn Olmsted aka Geogypsy

Home base: 5th-wheel RV parked in Skull Valley, AZ.  Truckcamper goes wherever I want, or can afford.

Number of countries visited: 4 – All but three USA states, some of Canada and Mexico, and South Africa three times visiting 16 of their National Parks. During summers I work as a seasonal National Park Ranger, for the last eight at Grand Canyon.

How I am traveling differently at 60+ than I travelled at 45: Sadly, just traveling less due to the price of fuel.

My two bits of wisdom for other women: (1) Don’t let fear hold you back. In fact don’t be fearful just be aware and listen to your intuition. (2) Solo travelers tend to interact more with the locals and other travelers; these people are part of the journey and destination.

The destination I would go back to in a minute:  Definitely South Africa. It’s an easy country to travel in, once you learn to drive on the left side of the road, the people are a cultural mix of friendly, it’s affordable and I’ve made special friends. Plus I’m hooked on safaris in their National Parks.

I met this unforgettable person while traveling:   So many, everywhere.

My funniest or most unusual travel experience:  

While driving in Kruger National Park Joan and I were chased by a young bull elephant who might have smelled the over ripe bananas in the back of the truck. Back in camp we noticed a trunk print on the dusty tailgate.

Six New Solo Travel Rock stars

1. deborah bine.

Home Base: France/USA

Number of countries visited: 28

How I am traveling differently at 50+ than I traveled at 45:   When I was 50, my solo travel mainly was for business. My job in a worldwide marketing group for IBM taught me a lot about traveling alone. After retirement, I put this knowledge to the test by scheduling trips to “faraway places” and never inviting or allowing friends to join me. It may seem selfish; however, I want to go where I want to go when I want to be there. Now that I live in France, my chosen destinations primarily revolve around my adopted country. That said, the lure and proximity to the rest of Europe keep me scheduling visits to places I can easily reach by car, train, and airplane.

My two bits of wisdom for other women:   Don’t over plan. Some of my best travel adventures have been spontaneous. When creating your itinerary, try to include hours – even days – that you can get off the radar. These can be some of your most enjoyable and productive times.

Keep your important documents, like passports and credit cards, in more than one place while traveling. If you are pickpocketed, for example, you still have a means to identify yourself and make payments.

The destination I would go back to in a minute:  

I’ve fallen in love with the south of Spain. Recently I visited Seville, and I was “gobsmacked” by its elegance and open spaces. The city is stunning with its combination of riverfront, majestic gardens, and historical landmarks. And Seville is not alone in its appeal. Cordoba and Granada deserve much more than a couple of days to explore and appreciate. I shall return!

I met this unforgettable person while traveling:  

My first solo travel adventure was to visit London for the wedding of Prince William and Kate. (Along with a million other tourists.) On the flight from the United States, I was seated between an older woman and a teenage girl who, I learned, were related. When I asked if they wanted to sit together, the grandmother made it clear that she preferred the aisle. During the flight, I understood why. If she wasn’t heading for the toilet, she was standing on her seat to reach into the overhead luggage compartment. While the 83-year-old grandmother was in motion, the granddaughter was non-plussed. They’d traveled together often. When we exited the airplane the following day, we exchanged our ” best wishes.” It was then that I noticed granny’s backpack. It’s this unforgettable stranger who I’ve chosen to model myself after – the grandmother who’s fun enough to be a travel buddy, fit enough to stand on the airplane seat; and cool enough to wear a granny backpack.

  My funniest or most unusual travel experience:  

My most unusual travel experience was catching a glimpse of the Kumari of Nepal as she peeked through her palace window. The “Living Goddess” is worshipped by Hindus and Buddhists as the reincarnation of the supreme goddess Durga. Hidden away throughout her youth in her own palace, the Kumari Ghar, she rarely sees even her parents. The day I visited the Kumari Ghar , close to Durbar Square, the Kumari appeared in her window — a rare occasion and a sign of good fortune for anyone who sees her.

What I’ve learned about life and travel during the pandemic:  

At the pandemic’s beginning, I was in the United States with my family. Like everyone, I was paralyzed by the unknown. Because I am a French resident, I returned to France before many people were able to travel. I remained pretty much isolated in my apartment in Uzès until I had received two vaccinations. The experience taught me to appreciate Freedom, whether it’s the freedom to travel or to leave my home.

2. Rupi Mangat

Home base: Nairobi, Kenya 

Number of countries visited: 11

How I am traveling differently at 50+ than I travelled at 45: More open to life, enjoying it, accepting the day – the sun has been rising for the last 4,600 million years – that’s the wonder of the planet we live on. I am just a speck on it.

My two bits of wisdom for other women: Be open, relax, and look out of the window.

My website: rupitheafricantrotter.com  or find me on Instagram  and Facebook.

The destination I would go back to in a minute:  Misali island off Pemba Island, Zanzibar 

I met this unforgettable person while traveling:  SOOOO MANY – Alan Donovan who brought me into the arts of Africa; Jane Spilsbury of Watamu Marine Association

My funniest or most unusual travel experience: The lioness with her cubs in moonlight by my tent . The mother and l stared at each other, a few feet apart, while the cubs played on the porch, with only a net screen between us. Then she gave a stern deep growl “Let’s go kids” – and they vanished into the night. 

What I’ve learned about life and travel during the pandemic: Life continues. You keep going, keep traveling – I was on a local matatu (van) to get to places I wanted to – and you wear your mask.

3. Vicki Hill

Home base:   Lawrence, Kansas

Number of countries visited:   2

How I am traveling differently at 50+ than I travelled at 45: First off I’m a hiker…it’s the thing I love to do most & the main reason I travel…I love big scenery, wide-open spaces & hours on a trail!  And, since most amazing trails are in the backcountry, I’m also a camper.  I used to camp in a tent, but for the past 10 years or so, I have become a car camper, sleeping about 100 nights or so in a 20+ year old Toyota 4Runner.  But, probably the biggest difference is that I’m a more confident traveler.  I have learned so much over the 18 or so years I’ve been going solo.

My two bits of wisdom for other women:  Go, see & do!  Don’t let the ‘what if’s’ stop you.  There are so many solo women travelers out there….talk to them about your concerns, fears, ideas, etc.  They do this kind of travel, love it, will share information & give you confidence.

My website: tripscribbles.com/new/  or find me on Instagram and Facebook.

The destination I would go back to in a minute:   Utah! (Colorado, New Mexico & California…hard to pick just one)

I met this unforgettable person while traveling:   Sherry Ott.  I started following Sherry & her amazing travels online.  We travel so differently—she goes all over the world visiting & staying in exotic places & I tend to stay in the States & camp.   She is also much younger than I am.  But then our paths randomly crossed in Colorado one summer a few years ago & we became fast friends, hiking trails together a few times & last year, I joined her on a trip to Mexico.  She’s a blast to hang out with & I really feel thankful for our friendship.

My most unusual travel experience:  Hiking solo on one of my favorite trails in Colorado one day, I started to pass another hiker when he started up a conversation.  He was much older than I was, looked a bit frail while standing, but turns out was a strong hiker.  He introduced himself as Doug LaFollette from Wisconsin.  He pointed out a trail I’d never been on before that would eventually circle back to my original trailhead & so we began our hike together. He was a non-stop talker, but it was a fascinating & random conversation.  He was there visiting the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory; he comes every year to teach classes & participate in seminars.  But, he was also one of the original founders of Earth Day….that was so cool to hear how that came to be.  He was also a State Senator & then became Secretary of State; & I was getting to hike alongside him on a beautiful trail, surrounded by mountains, hiking through crystal clear streams & listening to an amazing story of this man’s life.  I was smiling at my good fortune the whole time.  I’ll never forget it.

There have been many wonderful people I’ve met while traveling…it’s one of the best things about travel & always a highlight (I call it trip magic!). I love meeting new people & I think solo travel makes it even easier.  I get such enjoyment from discussing all things travel with someone new.  And on the flip side, when travel dominates the conversation, you don’t discuss politics, jobs, religion, etc.  It’s a subject that people can easily find common ground.

What I’ve learned about life and travel during the pandemic:   Those of us who travel a lot know the first thing you pack is flexibility & the pandemic just instilled that even more.  Since my kind of travel is more wilderness oriented & solo, I was able to keep doing what I love as soon as states opened up.

4. Mariellen Ward

Home base: Currently Rishikesh, India

Number of countries visited: not sure, about 30

How I am traveling differently at 50+ than I travelled at 45: I started travelling at the age of 45 when I went on a six-month, solo trip to India. It was a personal quest, and I was very open to the experience. I was like Alice falling through the rabbit hole! Everything was new, exciting, different. I felt fully alive, like never before. 

I think that maybe that’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I am much more practical about travel now. If I travel, I have a reason, something I want to learn, or experience, or write about. I was previously more interested in culture, and these days, I’m all about nature and wildlife. Slowing down, savouring the moment in a beautiful setting.

My two bits of wisdom for other women: Differentiate between fear and caution. Caution is a good, healthy attitude. Fear is negative energy. Caution will provoke you to research your destination and use common sense. Fear will only attract negative experiences. Take a cautious approach to solo travel, by all means. If you feel fearful, back off, and wait until it’s the right time or place.

The destination I would go back to in a minute:    I want to go back to Japan. I lived there for a year when I was about 32, and I would love to re-experience it now, as a travel journalist – and very different person.

I met this unforgettable person while traveling:    There are so many! I’ve been travelling a lot over the past 17 years (minus the pandemic). Rather than single out one person, I would say that what I’ve learned is that most people are kind, friendly, and helpful. The world seems kinder when you travel. I’m not sure why that is, but part of it probably has to do with our attitude of openness and adventure. 

My funniest or most unusual travel experience: Getting lost among 10 million people in 44 C. heat at the Kumbh Mela in north India – the world’s largest spiritual gathering. It was one of the most intense days of my life! And most life-changing, too, as I guess all the best rituals must be. You can read the full, harrowing story here.

What I’ve learned about life and travel during the pandemic: Good question, and I’m not sure yet as I still feel deeply in the pandemic situation. I’ve spent the entire pandemic in Rishikesh, India, where I was living to start my custom tour business India for Beginners . Finding it hard to plan, I live day by day, and just try to enjoy each moment and be grateful. I am practicing more gratitude than ever before.

5. Sherry Ott

Home base: Denver, Colorado

Number of countries visited: I lost count – but let’s say 72

How I am traveling differently at 60+ than I travelled at 45: I started traveling late in my life, I didn’t have a passport until I was 30 years old.  My travels in my 40’s was all about ticking off the countries and bucket-list worthy experiences – after all, I had never been to Paris before!  In short – I did what everyone else did, I followed the travel pack.

However, my 50’s means following my own path (in travel and life).  I tend to travel off the beaten path to remote places. My guiding motto is – I see where everyone is going and then I turn around and go the other way. I love to discover new places – or appreciate known places in the less desirable or unpopular times – like Vietnam in rainy season .

My two bits of wisdom for other women: Make your own way – follow your path, and let it sees where it takes you.  Throw away all of the ‘should’s’ and do what YOU want. 

My other tip is a bit more practical – wear compression socks on long flights, car rides, and train trips.  I luckily escaped death when I contracted blood clots on a long flight to India. Unbeknownst to me, I contracted the clots, they broke off and planted themselves in muy lungs and by the time my pains were diagnosed, I had 3 pulmonary emboli in my lungs. I should’ve died.  Women (especially older women) are at risk for contracting blood clots when sitting idle for more than 3 hours at a time. Compression socks (don’t worry they aren’t all ugly!), reduce that risk by providing compression in their design. It’s knit in a way that gradually squeezes the leg from the bottom up. Squeezing the leg tissues and walls of the veins helps blood in the veins return to the heart and reduce the risk of contracting blood clots when sitting for long periods. Trust me…just get them.

I also find that I am drawn to big journeys now as I get older.  Journeys are more than a vacation seeing sights – they are about getting from point A to B pushing yourself beyond what you think you are capable of, and learning about a culture, destination, and ypurself along the way. Journeys go deep, penetrating your personal limits and they are often about slow, immersive travel and learning from the outdoors.

I’m actually starting one such journey this summer as I start a long-term quest to bike from Capital to Capital in the United States hopefully completing what my father started by foot in 1984. 

The destination I would go back to in a minute: The Faroe Islands. I went a few years ago in April for only 3 days, and it just wet my appetite for more!  The culture is fascinating and quirky, plus it’s a photographer’s dream.  I was there at the end of winter and it was a bit brown and wintery yet, but I want to see it and photograph it in the summer in its green splendor!

I met this unforgettable person while traveling: The first time I went to Alaska I went to the offbeat, lesser-visited places like Nome.  In Nome I met Richard Beneville  – I will never forget him as he really was my ambassador to one of my favorite places in the world – Alaska. Richard Beneville the founder of Nome Discovery Tours was my guide for Nome and the roads that lead to nowhere. Richard, a 70-year-old former Broadway actor, was the most entertaining character in this remote, quirky town. “Thank God for Alaska – it saved my life,” he would say with a hearty smile. He weaves his fascinating and theatrical story about his life; life on Broadway, alcoholism, living above the Arctic Circle, and how he ended up in Nome as you spend the day with him.

Richard become Mayor of Nome at age 70 – he really was the town ‘mascot’ in a way.  I loved the way he was always giving back to the community – and thanks to him I came to love Alaska.   And sadly he passed away in May 2020. But he’ll always be remembered by me and the many people he introduced to Nome and Alaska – he was the best ambassador to Alaska I could ever imagine. 

My funniest or most unusual travel experience: I’ll never forget the moment in Istanbul when I realized that my cute little Airbnb I was staying at for a week was actually a dentist office!  After the initial shock, I learned that it’s normal to have doctor and dentist offices in apartments there (yet I don’t think it was too normal to then rent them out on Airbnb!).  I totally embraced the weirdness of it all, I used the dental chair as a place to sit and do work, I accepted deliveries for the doctor of false teeth, I helped the people in the waiting room practice their English, and I even got my teeth cleaned while I was staying there!

What I’ve learned about life and travel during the pandemic: Regarding life, slowing down and staying put has its benefits.  And on the travel front, I was reminded of what an incredible country America is.  We are lucky to have so much variety of landscapes in our country.  I honestly felt very fulfilled traveling around the US to deserts, lush forests, frozen tundra and beaches. I have a whole new appreciation for my home country.

Home base: Los Angeles

Number of countries visited: 42 + Antarctica

How I am traveling differently at 50+ than I travelled at 45: When I was 45 I had a toddler, so traveled to places my son would enjoy: outdoor places, places with water features, or sites with hands on activities. I wanted to share the world with him. He was easy to travel with and we had a great time taking trips together every summer as he grew up. Each trip was themed around his age and interests: Junior Ranger programs while camping in National Parks, Harry Potter locations in England, early American historical sites on the East Coast, old castles in Scotland, scuba diving in Hawaii, art history in Europe. 

My two bits of wisdom for other women: Travel light. Unplug. Experience the world the way it is as it surrounds you. Take time to notice the little details. Don’t see it through a phone lens. Use all your senses. Pay attention to the details around you: the temperature and feeling of the air on your skin. The scents. The conversations. The texture of the floor. The tastes. Be in the moment – don’t be distracted by thinking of what you’re going to post about it; you can do that later.

Now, 15 years later, my son is in college and I’ve just retired, so I have the luxury of time to choose when and where I want to travel, but I’m doing it without my travel buddy. Right now I’m splitting my time between traveling with small groups of women as a Trip Leader for Damesly – I just returned from leading a trip to Jordan – and traveling solo in my converted camper van through North America. I’m also sharing my travels with an audience via social media, and getting into travel writing.  

The destination I would go back to in a minute: Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia, and Antarctica

I met this unforgettable person while traveling:   There are many kind and wonderful people on this planet, and one of the gifts of travel is that it crosses our paths with theirs. Travel also brings us closer to ourselves; it expands our comfort zones and shows us more of our own humanity. I like to think that I meet more of myself when I’m traveling.

My funniest or most unusual travel experience:   Seeing the sunset in Antarctica paint massive icebergs with soft deep pinks and fiery oranges while Humpback and Fin whales stretched their flukes like graceful dancers of the deep performing a fluid ballet around our small zodiac boat, penguins popped out from the dark blue surface of the sea, and a pure white albatross soared on the wind just behind us, was a moment of pure joy and peace unlike any I’ve ever experienced. None of us who witnessed this hour on our Earth in its most natural state could speak above a whisper, and many of us had tears streaming down our face. It was an honor to be able to witness this important place, and I was changed by it. More than ever before, I believe it’s vital for us to protect our planet and do whatever is necessary to stop climate change.

  What I’ve learned about life and travel during the pandemic: Researching and preparing for a trip is almost as much fun as going on it. It lets you enjoy the journey before you actually take it. Then, when you’re finally in the places you’ve been seeing photos of and reading about, it will feel a bit like magic: you’ll be walking into a world that up to this point has only resided only in your imagination, and suddenly it will be surrounding you with all its sights, sounds, colors, and realness. You’ll be transported and your trip will have even more meaning and depth. It’s such a fun moment.

Women’s words on being 60 Plus …

Positive aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength. (Writer, Betty Friedan)

I didn’t want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful. (Photographer, Annie Leibovitz)

Getting older has a wonderful beauty and we need to have respect for that. (Singer, Eartha Kitt)

Knowing how to age and not being afraid of getting older is very healthy. (CEO, Evelyn Lauder)

There’s no such thing as aging. I see it as maturing and gaining knowledge. I call that beauty. (Singer, Celine Dion)

Women older than ourselves will always be our mentors. We gain from their wisdom and experiences. They are our super heroines. (Travel writer, Evelyn Hannon)

Ah Evelyn – what an inspiration and joy she was. I vividly remember meeting her at a hotel in Lancaster in NW England. She was on holiday with her family and kindly met up for a chat. I’d been following her blog and advice for some years and she was a real beacon of light for us older female travel bloggers. Her words of encouragement stay with me, “Be true to yourself, share what you live and travel boldly.”

How to Travel Like a Rock Star, According to a Rock Star

  • Copy Link copied

Touring musicians are the ultimate road warriors. They’re away for months at a time, with multi-city itineraries, long sets, late nights, and lodging options that are memorable—and not always in a good way. We caught up with Wylie Gelber, the bassist of Dawes , to talk travel as the L.A.-based group tours on the heels of their latest album, All Your Favorite Bands .

How long have you been on the road? We’ve been out for two months and have another two to go before we get an actual break. We do get to go home for a night on August 24, but then the next day we go to Europe. After that it’s off to Australia and New Zealand. Every time we put out a new record, we always forget how hard we have to tour.

Describe your travel philosophy. Chill and calm. I see so many people in airports losing their minds over things that are out of their control—plane delays, lost luggage. All it does is make you feel crazy. The best thing to do is to just think, whatever, I might miss my flight or my bags might get lost, but it’s just part of travel.

What’s the secret to not killing your travel companions on these longer stints? I love my band members, so when we first started touring, we used to book our airline seats next to each other so we could all hang out. It was a little intense. These days we find our own corners and splatter ourselves against the windows of the plane and try to sleep. When you do all these crazy long flights, it doesn’t matter if you’re sitting next to your best friend. You just want to put your headphones on and listen to a record and close your eyes and try to forget that you have 14 hours left to go.

What’s the coolest venue you’ve played so far? First Avenue in Minneapolis is one of our all-time favorite venues. It’s got a great vibe and the crowd is always fun. In D.C., we like the 9:30 Club because it’s so dialed in. They’ve been on tour before so they’ve thought of everything we need. Things work, the sound is great, and they treat you nicely.

What’s the first thing you seek out in a new place? I like to build things—gear, furniture, whatever—and I have a large collection of tools. So every time I wake up in a different town, I try to go to a hardware store. They’re usually run by old curmudgeons used to seeing the same eight customers, and they think I’m this weirdo because I’m a young guy who cruises in with his headphones on. I’ve gotten some crazy vintage tools that way over the years.

Any standout meals on the road? Anytime we’re in Chicago, we go to Avec , a Mediterranean place in the West Loop. We’re also really big on barbecue, so if we’re in a barbecue zone, we go nuts. Usually we’ll send one guy out to buy it for entire crew. We were just in Kansas City and had insanely good barbeque from Joe’s Kansas City .

What do you look for in a hotel? For years we stayed in these disgusting hotels that were your literal nightmare. We’d sleep fully clothed with a hoodie on and with all the lights on. Things have definitely improved, but still, a great hotel to us doesn’t have to be fancy; it’s simply a really clean place that looks more inviting than your bunk on the bus.

Let’s play spin the globe—name the one place you’ve always wanted to go. I just found out that we have a show in New Zealand , and I’m stoked to go there. From what I hear, it sounds like one of the most beautiful and pure places on earth.

What city would you visit just to explore the music scene? New Orleans . When I’m there, I feel like I’m just a small part of an enormous music scene that’s happening all around me. The city revolves around musicians. You’ll hear someone playing in the street, and they’ve never made a recording in their lives, but it doesn’t make them any less significant.

What’s on your travel playlist right now? Lately I’ve been listening to Crusaders, this old school jazz band that phased over into soul jazz. And I’m always listening to Bill Withers and Curtis Mayfield.

Where’s the first place you’ll go when you’re finally back home in L.A.? The rest of the guys in the band live on the opposite side of town from me, and they like to hang out at the Hermosillo , a bar in Highland Park. But the one I like is closer to me in Culver City, and it’s called the Cozy Inn . It’s a great spot with neon Budweiser signs and a really good shuffleboard table. It’s everything I need to feel right at home again.

Travel Like a Rock Star! How to Vacation Like A Celebrity

After years of carefully studying celebrities, with a specific emphasis on musicians, I've come up with a surefire guide on how to travel like a rock star. Oh yes, it's everything that you can imagine and more. In my years of working in hotels, I can precisely define the rock star experience. Forget about partying like a rock star, here's how you can travel like one!

Stay at the finest hotel in the city The more exclusive the address, the better. Celebrities like to travel to places where they can be secluded and untouched by the masses. The higher the prices, the lower the riffraff. You won't find any big-name rock stars staying at a $50/night hotel. There's nothing wrong with $50/night hotels, because I stay in these all the time, but not when I want to travel like a rock star. I stay at the best hotels .

Call ahead and make demands All rock stars have a list of must-have amenities. You know, essentials like freshly squeezed juice from a cactus, or M&Ms separated by color and placed into individual silver bowls. The great thing about staying at the best hotels (must be 5-Star) is that the hotels must obey your demands, as long as you're not requesting anything illegal. I've heard it all, when it comes to demands. Of course, make sure you can pay for these demands, because rock stars always have the money to back up their zany desires.

Arrive by limousine You definitely cannot arrive in a rental car, or worse, your own car. It doesn't matter if you own a Mercedes, nothing compares to arriving in your own chauffeured car. Make sure to hire a driver for the entirety of your stay.

Check in using an alias Celebrities never, ever stay at a hotel using their real name, and you shouldn't either. You can ask the hotel to register you under the name of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, and they'll do it for you. For extra fun, ask your friends to call for you using your assumed name.

Carry Louis Vuitton bags I know that we don't all have the capital for LV, but if you want to be taken seriously as a rock star, you'll definitely need to upgrade your luggage. Bellmen know quality luggage when they see it, and your luggage says a lot about you. Granted, you can go the opposite way, and only travel with plastic bags, but it's hard to pull of the eccentric rock star. It's just best to be as traditional as possible. Louis Vuitton never goes on sale, so you may want to travel light, and only buy one bag.

Tip well It's not enough to say you're a rock star, you have to spend like one. Celebrities don't really watch their spending. They have people to do that, and usually those people aren't with them on vacation. Be prepared to tip everyone at least $10, or more, depending on the type of service. If you don't want to spend hundreds in tips, you may want to keep a low profile, and not ask for too much.

Arrive in the middle of the night Most celebrities arrive late, at around 2am in the morning, to avoid throngs of adoring fans. However, when you're a pseudo celebrity, you definitely want to arrive early enough for people to see you, and wonder about you. Shoot for 9pm on a Friday. That's when a lot of the hotel guests are leaving out to go clubbing, and you can get maximum attention. Definitely arrive in the middle of the night after your partying. You have a reputation to uphold.

Wear sunglasses all the time Even at night. Don't go anywhere without them. Sunglasses provide instant mystery. It'll suit you if you can find the big, black, round sunglasses that take up half of your face.

Never travel alone Rock stars are famous for their entourages. You have to go everywhere in a group. Make sure that everyone is wearing sunglasses.Ensure that you're at the center of the group, so that you're identified as the star. Alternatively, you and your friends can each take a turn at being in the center.

Wear clothes that look slept in Rock stars don't iron! They don't wear crisp clothes, either. Usually, rock star outfits look like an abstract art piece with all the asymmetrical layers. Leather jackets always help to anchor the look.

Be bold and dedicated This is the most important tip. If you don't believe you, no one else will. If you really want other people to believe you're a celebrity, you've got to sell it from the moment you step out of your limousine. You must exude the “don't you know who I am?” type of arrogance that's inherent in most rock stars. You have to keep a constant look of disdain on your face. Remember that you have to spend a lot of money to maintain the lifestyle of a rock star. Is it worth it? For a weekend of fun role-playing, you bet! Try it, you may like it.

Can you think of anything I need to add to the list?

Ranking MLB's stadiums from 1 to 30: Baseball travelers' favorite ballparks

What's the best major league baseball stadium.

The crack of the bat. Peanuts. Cracker Jack. Things of that nature.

There's nothing like a trip to the ballpark to take in a Major League Baseball game – whether you're a score-keeping fanatic, casual fan or a kid just there for the ice cream helmet cups.

MLB's stadiums each have their own unique history, with ballparks ranging in age from over 100 years old (Fenway Park and Wrigley Field) to Texas' retractable roof stadium that just opened in 2020.

With the goal of creating the ultimate MLB stadium rankings, eight baseball reporters and editors from around the USA TODAY Network ranked MLB's current stadiums 1-30, adding up the aggregate scores to determine the order.

  • Stadium reviews by Joe Mock, operator of BaseballParks.com since 1997

HOT STOVE UPDATES: MLB free agency: Ranking and tracking the top players available.

1. PNC Park – Pittsburgh Pirates

Joe Mock of BaseballParks.com's review : "Even without changing a thing, this is a ballpark that seems to become more beautiful as time goes by, with its intimate architecture and breathtaking view. Please, Pirates, don’t make any changes!"

  • Year opened : 2001
  • Capacity: 38,747

2. Oracle Park – San Francisco Giants

"Celebrating its 25th season in 2024, the park by the Bay currently carries its fourth corporate sponsorship name. Giants fans enjoy not only a stupendous view, but arguably the best concessions in the sport."

  • Opened : 2000
  • Capacity : 41,265

3. Wrigley Field – Chicago Cubs

"Renovations in recent years have certainly modernized both the interior of the Friendly Confines and its surroundings, but its sense of history remains unrivaled."

  • Opened : 1914
  • Capacity : 41,649

4. Camden Yards – Baltimore Orioles

"When this gem opened in 1992, it reversed every trend in the design and site selection of stadiums. The downtown retro ballpark still draws rave reviews for its intimacy and throwback look. Credit urban planner and architect Janet Marie Smith, who is still rewriting the ballpark history books."

  • Opened : 1992
  • Capacity : 44,970

5. Fenway Park – Boston Red Sox

"'Intimate,' 'quaint' and 'historic' are adjectives that immediately come to mind. However, parking is extremely scarce (and prohibitively expensive) and sightlines are not favorable around the park."

  • Opened: 1912
  • Capacity : 37,755

6. Petco Park – San Diego Padres

"The 2024 season marks the 20 th  anniversary of the most aesthetically pleasing baseball facility ever built. This is a testament to the design work of Antoine Predock, renowned architect who passed away in March 2024. The ballpark’s exterior and concourses would be at home in a museum and its landscaping in a topiary hall of fame."

  • Opened: 2004
  • Capacity : 40,209

7. Dodger Stadium – Los Angeles Dodgers

"As you stroll around this ballpark in Chavez Ravine, it is hard to imagine that only Wrigley and Fenway are older big-league facilities. Thanks to its impeccable upkeep and the magic of Janet Marie Smith (including her $100-million reimagining of the area beyond the outfield pavilion seats), it feels brand new."

  • Opened : 1962
  • Capacity : 56,000

8. Coors Field – Colorado Rockies

"With the debut of The Rooftop in 2014, the Rockies turned seldom-used seating sections in right field into perfect hangout spots for fans in their 20s and 30s. And the view of the Rocky Mountains – although diminished somewhat by recently constructed high-rise buildings – is still stunning."

  • Opened : 1995
  • Capacity : 50,480

9. T-Mobile Park – Seattle Mariners

"This is a beautifully designed ballpark with tremendous concessions and gorgeous views. Even when the roof is closed on rainy days, it’s not claustrophobic, as the area above the left field stands remains open."

  • Opened: 1999
  • Capacity : 47,929

10. Target Field – Minnesota Twins

"When you attend a Twins game here, make note of the miraculous way a comfortable big-league stadium has been crammed into such a small site. Ample public transportation makes the place wonderfully accessible."

  • Opened: 2010
  • Capacity : 38,544

11. Citi Field – New York Mets

"The Mets’ home opened in 2009, the same year as the Yankees’ new stadium nine miles away. Citi Field, though, provides far more fun, food and fan amenities than the Yanks’ austere facility."

  • Opened : 2009
  • Capacity : 41,800

12. Kauffman Stadium – Kansas City Royals

"When the Royals announced that they plan to build a new ballpark in downtown Kansas City by 2028, it drove home the point that the massive $250 million renovation of Kauffman Stadium in 2009 had outlived its usefulness. Still, the sightlines, stunning videoboard and especially the fountains continue to provide a wonderful fan experience at The K."

  • Opened : 1973
  • Capacity : 37,903

13. Citizens Bank Park – Philadelphia Phillies

"The architectural cousin of Nationals Park, CBP offers a wonderful view of Philadelphia’s skyline and impressive food offerings."

  • Opened : 2004
  • Capacity : 42,901

14. Comerica Park – Detroit Tigers

"There are a number of things to like here, such as the fountains, statues (my favorite is Ernie Harwell), carousel, and Ferris wheel."

  • Capacity : 41,083

15. Minute Maid Park – Houston Astros

"Does the market need an air-conditioned facility? Sure, but the look of the retractable roof is far less appealing than the ones in Seattle, Miami and Arlington. The left field concourse is also way too narrow."

  • Capacity : 40,963

16. Truist Park – Atlanta Braves

"The mixed-use development known as The Battery adjacent to Truist Park provides endless eating, drinking and entertainment options before and after Braves games. Inside the park, don’t miss The Chop House and the tribute to Hank Aaron."

  • Opened : 2017
  • Capacity : 41,084

17. Busch Stadium – St. Louis Cardinals

"A solid example of a modern-day retro-looking stadium. Like Atlanta, there is a lot to do in the Ballpark Village across the street."

  • Opened: 2006
  • Capacity : 45,494

18. LoanDepot Park – Miami Marlins

"Many critics of this park haven’t actually attended a game here. Located in Little Havana, its design and bright colors – and view of the skyline – make it a perfect fit in Miami."

  • Opened: 2012
  • Capacity: 37,442

19. Progressive Field – Cleveland Guardians

"After the newness wore off this 1994 ballpark, renovations have become the order of the day, with the most impressive being food courts in right field. By 2025, even more improvements are planned, with the total price tag at $200 million."

  • Opened : 1994
  • Capacity: 34,830

20. Yankee Stadium – New York Yankees

"The Yankees had the chance to create a ballpark for the ages, but instead built a facility that does little beyond honoring the team that plays in it. Not nearly as fun as the Mets’ park in Queens, it does offer the Yankees Museum (as if the whole stadium weren’t pretty much a Yankees Museum) and Monument Park."

  • Capacity:  50,287

21. Rogers Centre – Toronto Blue Jays

"This stadium moved up my rankings due to the renovations undertaken in recent years. All told, $300 million has been spent on the 'Outfield District,' with new social spaces and lounges, reorienting seats and changing the outfield dimensions, making the place a lot less sterile."

  • Opened : 1989
  • Capacity: 41,500

22. Globe Life Field – Texas Rangers

"Fans of the 2023 World Series champions love the intimate size, concession options and (especially) air conditioning compared to their previous home across the street. Fun fact: the AC can operate even when the retractable roof is open."

  • Opened : 2020
  • Capacity : 40,300

23. Angel Stadium – Los Angeles Angels

"A ballpark that needs to be replaced, as (even with major renovations in 1998) it is showing its age."

  • Opened: 1966
  • Capacity : 45,603

24. American Family Field – Milwaukee Brewers

"Perhaps this stadium’s best feature is what happens outside: the incredible number of people enjoying tailgating before Brewers games. Inside, the sausages and related concessions are the best in baseball."

  • Opened : 2001
  • Capacity : 41,900

25. Nationals Park – Washington Nationals

"By no means a spectacular architectural achievement, its look fits perfectly in a city known for its monuments. The Presidents Race is one of baseball’s more endearing traditions."

  • Opened : 2008
  • Capacity : 41,339

26. Great American Ball Park – Cincinnati Reds

"A middling entry in the retro-ballpark revolution. It’s nice that it sits on the banks of the Ohio River, providing a nice view from the upper deck, plus it features The Notch, an opening that allows fans walking toward the park from downtown to catch a glimpse of the interior."

  • Opened : 2003
  • Capacity : 42,271

27. Chase Field – Arizona Diamondbacks

"The best things this park offers: among the lowest cost to attend a game of any MLB team; air conditioning; a swimming pool; and an exciting young team . Otherwise, the sightlines aren’t great, and there are way too many seats too far from the field. Better bet: go see the D-backs in March at Salt River Fields, the best of all spring-training facilities ."

  • Opened : 1998
  • Capacity : 48,633

28. Guaranteed Rate Field – Chicago White Sox

"Significant renovations in 2006 removed some of the sterile atmosphere here, thereby extending this stadium’s life, but there’s only so much that can be done. White Sox fans might be stuck with this for a while."

  • Opened : 1991
  • Capacity : 40,615

29. Tropicana Field – Tampa Bay Rays

"The two most important things you can say about The Trop: at least the team has made an effort to make this sterile environment inviting; a solid plan may be in place to replace it ."

  • Opened : 1990
  • Capacity: 25,000

30. Oakland Coliseum – Oakland Athletics

"With the A’s committed to moving to Las Vegas , this rundown, wholly inadequate place will likely deteriorate even more. The fans deserve better." – Joe Mock, BaseballParks.com

  • Capacity: 46,867

The Cost ...

So, how much will this experience cost you? To begin with, there's what the company calls a "deadhead" charge of $1,200 per day. Those are the travel days it takes the driver to get from StormTrooper's L.A. home base to your doorstep, and then the same days back home.

… Nope, It's Not Cheap

Above and beyond the deadhead fees, travel in any of the company's coaches runs from $1,500 to $2,000 per day, plus $1.50 per mile. There is also a $500 cleaning fee, and clients pick up the cost of the driver's hotel room.

Roundup: Guilty plea in fatal hit-and-run near Mugu Rock, Oxnard pedestrian ID'd, more

Here's a roundup of recent incidents and announcements from Ventura County agencies:  

Plea changed in fatal hit-and-run near Mugu Rock

A Los Angeles man pleaded guilty Wednesday in a fatal hit-and-run crash on Pacific Coast Highway that killed a 22-year-old woman and injured a second victim in late 2022.

The driver, Keith David McDowell-Satyananda, 47, pleaded guilty to two felonies: gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and DUI causing injury. He also admitted to special allegations including that he fled the scene of a crime, the Ventura County District Attorney's Office reported. Special allegations can impact sentencing.

The crash occurred near Mugu Rock around 10 p.m . on Dec. 21, 2022.

Alena Pascuali, 22, of Riverside, had been standing with a San Gabriel man, then 30, on the dirt shoulder next to their parked 2022 Hyundai. The victims were standing several feet off the roadway, California Highway Patrol officials said at the time.

McDowell-Satyananda, who was driving northbound in a 2021 Mazda SUV, struck both victims and continued driving. He was pulled over a few miles away, near Rice Avenue and Wooley Road, where he was arrested.

Pascuali died at the scene. The male victim suffered major injuries but survived.

McDowell-Satyananda had previously pleaded not guilty to all charges in 2022. Some prior charges will be dropped at sentencing as a result of Wednesday's plea agreement.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on the morning of May 22 in room 11 of Ventura County Superior Court. He remains out of custody on $100,000 bail.

Pedestrian identified

Authorities have identified a pedestrian killed in Oxnard on March 4 as Modesto Navarro, 73, of Oxnard.

Navarro was a longtime Oxnard resident known by the nickname "Morey," Oxnard police officials said in a news release Friday.

The accident was reported around 6:15 p.m. near the intersection of Rose Avenue and Fifth Street. Navarro was hit by a truck traveling northbound on Rose. He had been crossing Rose north of Fifth at the time, Oxnard Police Department officials reported. Navarro was taken to a hospital, where he died.

The driver, an Oxnard man, remained at the scene and cooperated with officers. Police said neither speed nor drugs or alcohol were considered a factor.

Guilty plea in sex trafficking case

A 26-year-old Florida man pleaded guilty Tuesday to six felony counts in a human trafficking case out of Ventura.

The plea from Arayveion Edwards included charges of human trafficking, pimping and firearms violations. He also admitted to a special allegation the victim was vulnerable. Special allegations can impact sentencing.

In April 2023, Ventura Police Department officers had contacted Edwards about a stolen vehicle. During the interaction, a female with him pleaded with officers for help, the Ventura County District Attorney's Office said in a news release. Officers also found Edwards had a loaded, unregistered gun and high-capacity magazines.

Authorities determined Edwards had brought the victim from Florida to California and forced her to engage in commercial sex work along the way to pay for the trip, prosecutors said. When she tried to leave or refused to prostitute herself, he used physical violence and psychological coercion to force her to take part, according to the DA's account.

Edwards remains housed at the county's main jail with bail set at $250,000. He is scheduled for sentencing on April 23.

Items may be updated.

Heavy metal star issues on-stage rebuke of Hamas in support of Israel after young fan gives him gift

D avid Draiman, frontman of the heavy metal group Disturbed, issued strong support for Israel in a viral clip onstage after a young fan gave him a bracelet with the words "Am Israeli Chai." 

Draiman is the lead vocalist of the heavy metal group, which is one of the most successful rock bands of the 21st century, according to Billboard. The singer explained he couldn't stay silent on the matter any longer during a show in Orlando, Florida, on Feb. 26. 

He explained he has family in Israel and lost friends at the Nova Music Festival that was attacked by Hamas during the October 7 terrorist attack on the Jewish state, which left approximately 1,200 people dead, over 5,300 wounded and resulted in the capture of at least 242 hostages, more than half of whom still remain trapped in Gaza. 

"I miss people that were slaughtered like animals at the Nova Festival," he onstage. "Rape is not resistance. Slaughtering innocents at a music festival that brings together people from all walks of life is not resistance."

"I genuinely feel empathy for the Palestinian people despite what everyone on the other side of the equation likes to claim." he added. "There is not a single Jew on this planet that does not celebrate life. We celebrate life. Hamas celebrates death and they need to be eradicated; not the Palestinians, Hamas. We need to save Gaza from Hamas."

ISRAELI HOTELS LEFT OFF FORBES TRAVEL GUIDE ‘STAR AWARDS’ AFTER MAKING LIST MULTIPLE TIMES IN RECENT YEARS

READ ON THE FOX NEWS APP

He warned it is a "dark time that we are living in, and there are people who like to go ahead and use our fear of one another as an excuse to gain power, as an excuse to profit off of our own misery and our own suffering."

"It’s dark times, my people," he concluded. "It is dark times, but sometimes darkness can show you the light."

Since then, Draiman has continued to speak out in support of Israel, calling for the release of female hostages and flagging antisemitism or misinformation on media outlets across his social account. He has repeatedly posted photos with signs that read #BringBackOurGirls in reference to the girls and women hostages still being held captive in Gaza. 

UN FINALLY RECOGNIZES THAT ISRAELI WOMEN WERE RAPED, SEXUALLY ATTACKED BY HAMAS TERRORISTS

Draiman told Breitbart that he has normally been "very careful to not infuse Disturbed performances with any kind of political rhetoric," and instead "tries to make concerts an escape from that," but admitted that the gift from the young fan "seemed like a sign." 

"I couldn’t not acknowledge her very precise, thoughtful gift without being insulting at that point, so I felt compelled to speak about it and I just went completely off the cuff, speaking from my heart and trying to address the elephant in the room, so to speak," he told the outlet. "I just did the best that I could, and I’m glad that it resonated with as many people as it has apparently so far. Who knows? I can only hope that it has a continuing positive effect."

The entertainment industry typically falls on the left side of political issues, but the Israel-Hamas war has divided Hollywood in a way no other issue has, as many celebrities have spoken out against antisemitism and the October 7 attack. 

JEWISH STUDENTS FROM ACROSS US DESCRIBE RAMPANT CAMPUS ANTISEMITISM AT HOUSE HEARING: ‘WASTELAND OF HATRED’

Israeli actress Gal Gadot, who served for two years in the Israel Defense Forces in her 20s, spearheaded a Hollywood screening of a 47-minute video of the atrocities committed by Hamas during the October 7 surprise attack on Israel in the wake of the attack. But, the November screening prompted violent protests and was criticized as "insensitive" to Palestinians.

Jewish Actress and comedian Amy Schumer, who has been particularly outspoken in her support of Israel since Hamas' terror attack on October 7, said she has lost a number of friends over her stance. Schumer also trended on X after she posted a video clip of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. denouncing antisemitism and asserting Israel's right to exist, which was widely criticized. 

Gadot, Schumer, Bradley Cooper, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler and hundreds more Hollywood figures condemned Hamas and encouraged President Biden to get all hostages freed in an open letter in October . Other Hollywood signatures included in the letter belonged to actors Aubrey Plaza, Bob Odenkirk, Constance Wu, Shawn Levy and conservative actor Dean Cain.

Many other celebrities have also spoken out in support of Palestinians in the weeks and months since October 7. 

Fox News' Gabriel Gays and Yael Halon contributed to this report.
