Travels with Sterling: Luxury, Confidence, and Connection for Women 55+
\nTravels with Sterling isn\u2019t just another travel agency \u2014 it\u2019s a movement for women 55 and older who are ready to turn \u201cmaybe someday\u201d into right now. Founded by Janet Abbey, a seasoned event planner and passionate world traveler, Travels with Sterling was created for vibrant, self-assured women who crave more than cookie-cutter itineraries and impersonal bookings. We believe that travel should be equal parts elegance, adventure, and personal connection \u2014 and that the journey begins the moment you start dreaming.
\nOur Purpose
\nMany women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond find themselves at a turning point \u2014 ready to explore, but looking for experiences that feel safe, meaningful, and perfectly tailored. Travels with Sterling exists to take the overwhelm out of planning, replace it with inspiration, and design travel that feels like it was made just for you. Whether it\u2019s your first solo trip, a luxury cruise, or a curated girlfriends\u2019 getaway, we make sure you feel supported, confident, and excited every step of the way.
\nWho We Serve
\nOur ideal traveler is a woman 55+, often still working part-time or recently retired, who values boutique hotels over big box resorts, authentic experiences over tourist traps, and warm, attentive service over faceless transactions. She\u2019s stylish, health-conscious, and ready to invest in herself \u2014 whether that\u2019s a quiet Tuscan villa stay, a culture-rich river cruise, or a bucket-list adventure she\u2019s been waiting years to take.
\nWhat Sets Us Apart
\nA Deeply Personal Approach

\nLuxury Without Pretension

At Travels with Sterling, we focus on moments that matter: the sunset toast in Santorini, the laughter over dinner in Provence, the quiet morning walk along a beach you have to yourself. These are the memories you\u2019ll carry home, and the ones that inspire your next journey.
