Merry with Yellow Boa

Hi, my name is Merry.

I write about issues of interest to the Baby Boomer generation. Boomers are retired- or ready to retire – and now have the time to devote to themselves. We are an amazing group of people.

I love to create amazing content for my travel and lifestyle readers.  I welcome your ideas on partnering in order to provide new experiences, new products, and new adventures to all of them.

Here are some ways that we can work together:

  • Sponsored Posts
  • Guest writing
  • Event Coverage
  • Destination Coverage
  • Social Media Engagements
  • Brand Ambassador

 

CONTACT INFO

Whether you are looking for a long term partnership or simply looking for a quality post, I would be delighted to discuss those projects with you.

Please email Merry at [email protected]
