Age Boldly: Best Travel Books for Gifts

Plus, what kind of woman loves traveling with NextTribe?

Greetings Bold Women!

Like Santa’s elves, the NextTribe team has been busy in the workshop coming up with new trips for…gulp…2026! Expect some surprises.

This week Jeannie Ralston celebrated her birthday by hosting friends and family in Asheville. And by dancing, which she has become so known for that the staff posted this to mark her big day.

The party will continue tonight as Ralston hosts an event at a super-festive, holiday pop-up bar in downtown Asheville. If you’re not on the Asheville area list, you can meet the good women of Asheville by joining the revelry.

This week Jeannie Edmunds is being hosted at a number of startup events in Austin for women founders and investors.

At one of her events this week, “Dolphin Tank” (a friendlier version of Shark Tank) women presented innovative tech solutions in women’s health including an app for family caregivers, a medical device for sleep, and one for neuropathy caused by certain chemotherapy treatments for breast cancer. “Seeing these women start companies later in life—solving problems they’ve experienced themselves—gives me so much hope for our world,” she says. “I just love this community of smart, determined women!”

We hope you enjoy the reads this week from NextTribe Magazine. There are plenty of general interest articles on our website, too. We hope you’ll have a look around during the holidays.

Enjoy the reads!

Plus one from the archives, for our readers who celebrate Christmas.
