We're best friends in our 80s. We've traveled to 53 countries together — and have no plans of stopping anytime soon.

Ellie Hamby and her 85-year-old friend have been best friends for 25 years and have traveled to 53 countries together. Despite being in their 80s, they are not slowing down and have no plans to stop their adventures anytime soon. Known as the "Traveling Nanas," their journeys have taken them to various destinations such as Slovenia, Germany, Iceland, and even Mount Everest.

The pair, who met online 20 years ago, bonded over their shared grief for lost husbands and their curiosity about the world. They decided to embark on an ambitious 80-day journey in 2023, visiting all seven continents and multiple wonders of the world. Their adventures have been documented on social media, which helped them gain a following and attract attention from people around the globe.

Despite their age, the friends prefer packed itineraries and early bedtimes, opting for solo travel to cater to their own pace and preferences. They also take advantage of senior discounts at museums, trains, and ferries, and save on accommodations and food wherever possible. Their favorite luxury expense is on excursions that create unforgettable memories, such as snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef and hiking on Easter Island.

With plans to continue exploring the world, the friends are excited to see what adventures lie ahead.
