It's Never Too Late for the Next Act

When Eleanor Hamby and Dr. Sandra Hazelip met more than 25 years ago, after becoming empty-nesters and then widows, it was best friends at first sight. They never could’ve imagined that their relationship would propel them—in their 80s—through an around-the-globe adventure, or that they would go viral on-line and inspire people young and old, across cultures. With a lean budget and ambitious destinations on their bucket list, the irresistible friends—who have become known on social media as the travelling nanas—shared adventures that transformed their outlooks, galvanized and deepened their friendship and their faith, and taught them to live fearlessly.

From the icy shores of Antarctica to the breathtaking night sky above the Syrian desert to the majesty of the Grand Canyon, life on the road at their age has gifted Ellie and Sandy essential wisdom. Here We Go expands on the joyous message of hope that launched them into the spotlight, delivering advice and inspiration for anyone who aims to age with grace and adventure, connect authentically with others despite differences, and embrace our potential for joy and love.

To quote Ellie and Sandy, “Make some plans and live!”
