At age 70, Karen Marienau’s life is distinguished by a circuitous professional path, world-wide adventure travels, strenuous physical challenges, taxing home improvement projects, and deeply loving relationships—with people, animals, and nature. How does Karen, who gets bored once she has mastered something, and is known to act on impulse, navigate her world? She leaves the Minnesota farm for Mexico, joins the Navy on a medical scholarship, becomes a doctor earning numerous specializations, lives in 7 states, and traverses 7 continents. Karen returns to her Minnesota roots and retires from the military after 20 years of service. She remodels a new home on the northern shores of Lake Superior, continues to travel, and is learning to live in the present.

I am most focused now on my well-being—emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual. - Karen Marienau

Barbara Thompson is passionate about working with seniors. She holds a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) certification. When her life turned out differently from what she expected, she learned to rely on friendships to fill a gap. That brought her to the understanding of how important it is to listen to each person involved in the moving process. Moving is a challenging time for families, no matter their ages. Barbara says, “Life works best and moves gracefully when plans are formed and decisions are made. Then when the time comes to implement the changes, everyone knows exactly what to expect. No stress, just love and support.

Barbara is a support system for everyone involved. When needed she brings in resources to handle all aspects of the move, including for financial and legal matters. She has seen the beauty and the sadness of it. When people can open up and work together it elevates the process to one of beauty.

Adriane Berg is a lifelong traveler whose mission is to help people “never stop traveling.” Women over the age of 70 are increasingly participating in solo travel, as are individuals embarking on their second or third honeymoon.

Adriane advocates ‘voluntourism’—travel with a purpose that involves seeing and doing. She also encourages intergenerational travel—different ages traveling together to the same place, doing the same things. Adriane is a dedicated representative on aging to the United Nations. Her expertise in broadcasting, finance, and elder law informs her unique approach to travel, particularly suited for older women.
