The Author
The story was written by Ron Tite on his blog and included his youtube audio interview above. Ron Tite is a very successful man and has been named one of Canada's most creative men by Marketing Magazine. He is working currently as Vice President [of] Innovation Practice at Euro RSCG. He managed to score an interview with Evelyn Hannon, a travel expert and mentor for women that travel alone. She truly is an amazing woman and evidently always has been. But what caught Tite's attention was the fact that she is a 71 year old that understands social media and makes it work for her. I would assume that he had never had much contact with people older than himself and works in a world that does not include more experienced humans.
The Story
Evelyn Hannon began her journey as a single woman in the 80's after a divorce. She had traveled a great deal with her x-husband and found she was a little apprehensive about venturing out on her own. She over came her fear and began traveling and journaling about her experiences and knowledge. As the years passed she shared what she knew with other woman and in the late 90's built a website called Journeywoman, A Premier Travel Resource for Women. The website remains unchanged and is now getting awards for the retro look and forward looking advice. She simply does what she does because she cares about the people she connects with.
The fact that she is a woman does not count nor does that fact that she is 71. What counts is that she is doing what she loves and doing it better than anyone else. You have to love that!
