Whether you are going on holiday with your kids and grandkids or exploring the world, you should make sure you have the correct plan to follow. So, if you’re a senior citizen who loves to travel, here are a few essential hacks to help you on your adventures. And remember — you’re only as old as you feel!
Go to a travel expert
Just take all the hassle out of travel and organize your trip via a travel expert (And we certainly are the best in business). Not only is this easier but travel experts have the best recommendations about the itinerary, accommodation etc.
Pick a tour instead of a destination
Pick a tour that includes flights, transfers, meals, accommodation, excursions and more. This leaves less for you to worry about the details and hassle of planning and everything. What you have to do? Just show up and enjoy.
Get travel insurance
Insurance is always a good idea no matter what age you are. It saves you from unexpected financial mishaps such as trip cancellation, lost luggage etc.
Save your healthcare details
Save emergency numbers on your phone as well as your medical information. Also, make sure your details are up to date.
Keep low key
Carrying fancy cameras, nice jewellery, expensive watches, expensive purses can make you target for pickpocketing. Also, try to keep the money in terms of credit/debit cards instead of cash. Even if you lose your cards, you can immediately report it to your bank to block it.
Keep your family members in the loop
During the trip keep your family informed about your whereabouts and your schedule. Always keep your mobile phone with you and make sure you have activated the roaming.
