SOBI (Smart Old Broads International) is an exciting new resource community for confident women over 55, first launched in April, 2019.

We welcome you to SOBI, a crew of brave navigators in the uncharted waters of living large as a Senior Woman in the 21st Century.

SOBI members scoff at the alienation and invisibility that can come with being an ‘old lady’ in our breakneck-paced, sometimes scary world. Banding together, we’ll make some noise about things that matter to us!

We’re creating alliances among mature women, that foster collaboration and action in these areas:

Travel

SOBI Explorers addresses strategies we can use to create solo and group travel experiences. Learn about senior travel opportunities, tips for saving money on travel, and much more.

Housing

SOBI Thrive delves into group vs independent living models, co-housing, home-sharing, home exchanges and house-sitting opportunities. What are some alternatives to the one-bedroom “senior ghetto” apartment?  Ready to take the risk of being a modern Golden Girl? What happens when you start to need some daily help?

Passions & Pastimes

SOBI Unleashed features peer-to-peer learning opportunities; women meeting, in person or virtually, to share skills, hobbies, athletic interests, volunteer options, ways to navigate bureaucracies –just for starters. Join our network as a learner, or become a Lady Sage and start sharing your expertise about stuff Old Gals need to know! Earn some income and mitigate someone’s stress!
