Welcome!
I’m Suzanne Stavert, a travel writer, brand ambassador and culinary explorer who enthusiastically inspires empty nesters (and others) to #findadventure wherever they go.
I’m a foodie, wife and mother to two incredible, grown people! Adventures of Empty Nesters began as a blog when the kids left the nest and I decided to take a new adventure with my life. Read more and get to know us here.
My travels are eclectic and perfect for couples, singles or small groups.
I love exploring both the U.S. and the rest of this big, beautiful world to discover what is unique, interesting and innovative within each destination. I share these stories as a way to open doors to new ideas and experiences and inspire everyone to find their version of an exciting and adventurous life.
Collaborating is My Favorite.
I partner with luxury brands and media who are socially responsible, protect our planet and connect with cultures and community. To see the companies I work with, click here.
Brand Ambassador
Truthful, upbeat and honest representation of your brand through editorial, video and social media content on my platforms and yours.
Travel Writer
I write for your business' blog or contribute to your site or publication. I offer a heartfelt, insider’s perspective of your business, tour or destination.
“Hard-working and enthusiastic,
Suzanne helped us share the joy and excitement of our one-of-a-kind culinary tours. Her thoughtful posts brought the magic of our Italy trip to life.”
