Against all odds and despite their age, Sandy Hazelip and Ellie Hamby are fearlessly embarking on a thrilling mission to inspire elderly people worldwide to live life to the fullest by staying active and having fun, no matter their age. The two women are traveling the world, visiting 18 countries and all seven continents and wonders of the world in just 80 days!

Hazelip, a physician, and Hamby, a documentary photographer, met 20 years ago in Zambia and had already enjoyed several trips together before embarking on this epic adventure. Their motto is to always smile and never get upset, and they hope their trip will inspire others to have a swan song trip like them rather than waste away in a chair. 

Despite having had knee replacements, they have already enjoyed highlights such as seeing the world from a plane above Mount Everest, putting their foot down on Antarctica, and seeing the northern lights above Lapland.

Hazelip and Hamby travel in economy class and are known for their adventurous spirit. Hazelip jokes that if a potential travel companion has well-manicured hands, they are not a good fit for their trip. Hamby said that her daughter is not worried about her safety, saying as she is happy to see her living the life she wants to live.

This inspiring journey is a reminder that age is just a number, and that it's never too late to see the world and have fun. Hazelip and Hamby are proof that staying active and having a positive outlook on life can lead to incredible adventures and experiences, no matter how old you are.
