Collaborate With Once Upon A Midlife Crisis

At Once Upon A Midlife Crisis, we believe the best partnerships start with great storytelling. Whether you’re a tourism board, hotel, event organizer, travel brand, or literary escape host, we create authentic, experience driven content that connects with a loyal and growing midlife audience.

We’re a blended family of eight, (15 and up), sometimes it’s all of us, sometimes it’s just the two of us sneaking off for a Broadway weekend, but we always travel with intention, heart, and a little bit of chaos. Most of our trips include at least two of our teens, and we’ve road tripped across the U.S., flown coast to coast, and explored destinations large and small.

Some of our most memorable moments?
Cliff diving in Arkansas. A haunted tour of Alcatraz. Dolphin cruising in Destin, Florida. Breakfast steps away from Edinburgh Castle. Dipping our toes in the waters of the Wisconsin Dells. Standing in the exact execution site of Anne Boleyn at The Tower Of London. Horseback ride through beautiful Big Sky Montana. Ghost hunting at The Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana. Visiting a hidden Castle in Colorado. Trying vittles for the first time in Tennessee. Camping under the stars in Devils Den. And sharing a kiss under the lights of Times Square.
