New PBS-Linked Site for Boomers

Posted on May 15, 2012 by dinahwbrin

NextAvenue.org, a new, broad-interest website targeting Baby Boomers, went live today. The publication seeks to be for Boomers what Sesame Street is for toddlers. It may not be brought to you by the letter of the day or touch on potty training, but the publication discusses math (personal finance), learning (tips on picking up foreign languages), attention to feelings (family and relationships), as well as health and well-being, personal reinvention, work, retirement, travel and style, and home and gardening.

Speaking of jobs and travel, NextAvenue published my story on middle-aged folks finding work abroad. Please take a look when you have a chance!
