![]() We can travel farther, immerse ourselves into a new country, learn about the history and culture and visit the places we want to see while absorbing new experiences at our own pace. “We’re both retired, so time is no longer a factor when we plan a trip. Traveling (As a Senior) is FlexibleĪll of the seniors we interviewed agree: traveling after your kids are grown, and you’re retired (or semi-retired) makes trip planning so much easier. So we reached out to a few senior travel bloggers we know to get an insider perspective from older adults that travel regularly. Of course, it’s only natural to have some initial misgivings about packing up and flying out. They can book a big multi-stop trip that lasts weeks, months, or even years, and coordinate plans to meet their families (and grandchildren) on a stopover somewhere warm (Bali, maybe?) for the holidays. Retired and semi-retired seniors have the flexibility to choose not only where they go, but when and for how long. Forget cramming everything you can into two-week vacation slots that have to be taken at a certain time of year to coordinate with work and family obligations. Scheduling, in particular, comes to mind. Besides, there’s so much about travel that comes easier with age. We think that Rick Steves said it best in his piece on “ Savvy Seniors” when he proclaimed “Travel is a fountain of youth.”īecause if anything will keep you young, it’s venturing out into the world on a regular basis. You’re never too old, or too young to see the world. While we don’t think anyone should wait for retirement to give around the world and long-term travel a go, we don’t believe in age limits, either. At AirTreks we believe travel is possible for everyone.
