Mom struggled with the pandemic's separation and isolation at her senior living community. ✈️ Mom and I love traveling together, so during this time, we co-created live-streamed, guided walking tours for senior groups to meet and talk to locals, as they remotely explore, discover and revisit international cities, interacting with their guides. 💔 Sadly, Mom passed away in July, not directly from COVID, which she contracted in April, but from the devastating impact of long-term lockdown, and social isolation. She is my inspiration and role model. 🌎 When we can enjoy global travel again, Wowzitude will continue to Zoom the world to seniors - sparking purpose, joy and connections. 🎤 Moderator. Speaker.
