For this social worker and tour guide, retirement means working two jobs

Living near the beach in San Diego, California isn’t cheap. But for Cheryl Alexander, it’s worth it. That’s part of why at 77, she still works two jobs — as a family counselor, and owner of Italian Excursion, her one-woman tour company.

After falling in love with the Italian countryside 30 years ago, Alexander still visits twice a year with a small group of travelers in tow, and she’s not ready to slow down yet.

“Nobody’s brought up the fact that I haven’t stopped doing it,” she said. “It’s just gotten to be something that Cheryl does.”
