A new word for me, and possibly for you. I'm always at a loss for Z words.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines 'zoomer' as: a baby boomer (born between 1946-1964) who is energetic and adventurous in retirement, who rejects traditional, passive stereotypes associated with aging and retirement. —David J. Demko, PhD, www.demko.com/zoomers.htm, 1998
So I am one. Are you? That's me in the brown trousers and black top on the step on the left during my last trip to India in 2013. Getting itchy to go again.
See other Zs on Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC WEDNESDAY.

I have heard the term before... I'd wondered if it had been coined by someone else though. Beautiful shot!
I'm not a zoomer yet, since I'm not yet retired—but thanks for the new—and, I hope, soon(ish) to be applicable—word!
(And maybe we'll travel to India together one of these years.)
I haven't heard that word before!Cool, now I know what I myself am, too! Happy New Year to you!
No, I am not a zoomer, unfortunately. But I do like the term. I do not have a problem with the stereotypes of ageing.
looks like a fun trip.
FRANKLY MY DEAR

I am definitively a Zoomer! Never heard of the word before though.
Zoom away to India! I'm too old to be a zoomer. I think they'd call me already zoomed! Fascinating photo!
I think lots of boomers THINK they're zoomers!
