Suitcase Escapes (www.suitcaseescapes.com) is a growing travel and food blog created for curious, independent travellers nearing or over 50. (We prefer “seasoned” over “senior,” thank you very much!)
Launched in December 2022, our blog blends storytelling with an Aussie sense of humour, capturing the joy of travel and the flavours that come with it.
Through our regular newsletter, Stickers for Your Suitcase, and our social platforms (including a private Facebook group), we connect with a loyal and growing VIP Escapee 50+ community of like-minded travellers.
Our Audience
Our tagline — “Pack your suitcase and escape with us” — speaks directly to our readers: well-educated, experience-driven Gen Xers and Baby Boomers, primarily women, who are ready to rediscover the world.
They’re solo travellers, couples, and multigenerational explorers seeking meaningful experiences, cultural immersion, and a little indulgence — all while being smart about how they spend their money. They value quality, authenticity, and connection.
This presents a unique opportunity for tourism boards, travel brands, and lifestyle companies to showcase how their offerings align with this exciting life stage.
We guide our readers through every phase of the travel journey — from dreaming and planning to booking, experiencing, and sharing. Our goal is to inspire them to take the leap and turn their travel dreams into reality.
While our current focus is on Australia, Oceania, Europe, and Southeast Asia, our bucket list is always growing — and so is our reach.
If this sounds like a perfect fit, we’d love to hear from you. Use the Work With Us form below to start the conversation.
