Traveler, Planner, and Blogger Ava Larkins
Ava was raised on a small family farm, and is a retired RN who practiced in Cardiovascular Surgery for 32 years. She always dreamed of exploring the world, and together with her husband Steve, they are making these dreams a reality. Ava is the slightly obsessive planner, organizer, list keeper, reservation maker, photographer, and writer behind Two Travel Over 50. When she is not traveling, blogging, or planning the next adventure, Ava is busy tending her small garden, floating in the pool, obsessing over merino wool clothing, enjoying an Aperol Spritz, petting the rescue dogs, and mellowing out on Yacht Rock.
Traveler and Pack Mule Steve Larkins
Steve is an Air Force Academy grad and veteran (Go Falcons!), and an international airline Captain who has seen the entire world from the inside of a hotel room. When he and Ava married in 2007, they decided to make it their mission to actually experience the world. Happy to be behind the scenes, Steve is the level headed quiet voice of reason, occasional videographer, proofreader, and pack mule behind Two Travel Over 50. When he’s not traveling for work or pleasure, Steve is busy reading, watching football (AKA soccer), playing a video game, doing projects around the house, enjoying a gin and tonic, petting the rescue kitties, and jamming to 80’s New Wave.
