To Girl Travel! How Morocco Changed How I Think About Midlife Friendship

Season #2

Episode #28: To Girl Travel! How Morocco Changed How I Think About Midlife Friendship

Season 2 opens with a personal story: I went to Morocco because my stepmother needed a roommate. What I found changed how I think about friendship, connection, and who I am. Eleven days, a group of mostly strangers, and a country whose history I did not expect to fall in love with.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Why making friends in midlife requires a different approach than it did when we were younger
  • What happened when I traveled internationally alone for the first time at 64
  • The instant belonging that comes from shared identity and shared experience
  • A spontaneous friendship strategy called speed dating that I have been using at home ever since
  • What Adeline (80) and Iris (86) taught me about what is possible at this stage of life
  • The heartbreaking and inspiring story of Jewish heritage in Morocco and the Muslim organization working to preserve it
