Travelling Solo over 50

Comment

Article by Ceri Wheeldon How daunting is it to travel alone over 50? Whether you’re single, divorced, widowed - or just wanting to travel alone without your partner, what are the options for travelling solo in your 50s?

Whilst plopping ourselves on a sun lounger a few hundred miles from the stresses of work and everyday life may be tempting, shouldn’t we be using our precious few weeks of holiday to collect new experiences and immerse ourselves in unique cultures? If you’ve ever come back from a beach holiday feeling a little underwhelmed, wishing your time off had been better invested – we’ve compiled a few tips to help you get more from...

How to Stay Healthy Whilst Travelling

Comment

We all know how easy it is to over-indulge whilst on your travels, whether your weakness is Pina Coladas or buttered croissants – normal rules don’t seem to apply when your passport is in your back pocket. Unfortunately, a tighter-than-usual waistline can compound the post-holiday blues - so he we’ve gathered a handful of tips to help you stay in tip-top shape on your travels, without diminishing the fun and the experience. Hydration is King It’s not hard to satiate your thirst on your travels, just reach for another ice cold beer to battle the heat.

Life over 50: Are we the Jet Set Generation?

Comment

Article by Ceri Wheeldon Once the children have left home or become more independent, or the mortgage is paid off we have more time and money to spend on ourselves than at previous times of our lives. Are we more interested in travel than other ‘luxuries’ at this time ? What luxuries in life are we willing to forgo in order to travel? Do we value new experiences over ‘things’ once we reach our 50s?
