A Travel Story

Read my story about how an educational travel program changed my life at http://www.where2nowmag.com It was a lot of fun going back into my old album and putting this story together. It brought back lots of nice memories, and looking at it from my new perspective, I was able to see how it really did change my life. Wow!

About Me

Name: Nancy Merz Nordstrom

Location: Pelham, New Hampshire

A long-time wife and mother of four, I was widowed at age 48. Several years later I returned to school, which became for me the "fountain of youth." I found I loved being back in school as a mid-life student and subsequently earned an M.Ed. in adult education. Later, working with Elderhostel, I was able to indulge in my love of lifelong learning for older adults. Along with my Elderhostel work, while living in central New Hampshire, I wrote a new book, "Learning Later, Living Greater: The Secret for Making the Most of Your After-50 Years." In the spring of 2007 we moved to southern New Hampshire to be closer to our children, grandchildren and Boston for my work. My newest endeavor is the development of an online course on the Daily Om web site called "Make the Most of Your After 50 Years," which can be found at http://www.dailyom.com/cgi-bin/courses/courseoverview.cgi?cid=207&aff= In my spare time I love to read, garden, cook, and now I can visit more easily with my four children and three grandchildren.
