The Freebird Times - Issue 1

3 Welcome
Peter Mangan, founder and CEO of The Freebird Club
Welcome to the first edition of
The Freebird Times. This digital
magazine is our way of engaging
more fully with both our
members and those interested
in learning more about The
Freebird Club.
For the uninitiated, The Freebird
Club is a new travel-based social
network for those over 50. It is a
membership-based club,
whereby members can travel
and stay with each other in the
context of a trusted social
community of peers.
It offers a whole new way of
travelling for mature adults, a
potential new source of income
for hosts and a fun and
accessible way to meet new
people and enjoy social and
cultural interaction in later life.
Our mission is to connect and
enrich the lives of older people
through meaningful travel and to
foster an age-friendly and
inclusive world in the process.
This Club is designed to be a fun
place to hangout with
like-minded people who share
the view that life and the world
around us are to be enjoyed
regardless of age. As you will see
in our member profiles, people
share their interests and
passions on the website so they
can get to know a little bit about
each other in advance of
potential stays. We want people
to connect through
commonalities and shared
interests. This Club is about
people, not just places to go. We
already have Freebird members
in 36 countries worldwide and
membership is growing daily.
Here in our digital magazine,
you will find all kinds of
interesting articles chosen to
appeal to the more mature
reader .
