A US report states that travelling helps senior citizens live longer lives and is good for the soul.
Here are some lovely travel savings
– pure soul food that won’t eat into your nest egg!
Seniors, take note — travelling just might extend your life!
A geriatrician and author, Dr. David Lipschitz, has said in a report that he believes that travel helps senior citizens live longer lives. Your senior years are an excellent time to travel because most retirees have unusually flexible schedules. Travel could take the form of visiting loved ones overseas, or maybe you are one of the many seniors who has a bucket list as long as your arm!
Experiencing new cultures and exploring new places are food for the soul, and possibly the elixir of youth. And the good news is – that soul food does not have to eat up your entire nest egg, and great travel discounts are not relegated solely to the hostel-hopping crowd.
Here is a selection of travel deals on offer on the You’ve Earned It platform – how about starting to plan that next break/bucket list trip now?!!
