Travel Now, Travel
Often
One of the saddest
things people say when they are looking forward to retirement
is: "When I retire I'm going to travel."
Do not wait until you retire
to travel--or do anything else, for that matter. Who
knows what tomorrow may bring. It
is far better and easier to travel when you are in your fifties, than when you are in your sixties or
seventies.
After decades of being a solo
traveler around the world, that big Six-Oh birthday arrived
and I finally decided to travel with
a group and have now taken two Elderhostel vacations. |
Elderhostel specializes in educational travel for people over age 50. One
vacation I took was a photography workshop in Phoenix, the other a
weeklong adventure in Oregon with my granddaughter. Both
were great! The number and variety of travel and educational
experiences Elderhostel offers is astounding. Their costs
are reasonable. Not cheap, but reasonable. There are,
of course, other companies who focus on travel for people over age
50. Whatever your choice, do not wait. Travel now.
Elderhostel hires people to
work on their educational tours. But they are inundated with
applicants. We have some other ideas for you, if you are interested in jobs
related to travel.
