Episode 1: 10 Reasons To Travel In Your 50s And 60s

Travel With The Backpacking Housewife

If you needed encouragement to travel more in your 50’s and 60’s then you might be emboldened to know that senior travel is to become a post-pandemic trend with travel agents now promoting ‘Age-Friendly Tourism’ as more older people than ever before are looking to prioritise travel in their lives. In this first episode, Janice Horton - otherwise known as The Backpacking Housewife - discusses these new trends being reported in the media and considers the subject of over 50's taking a work sabbatical to work remotely or even early retirement in order to travel.
She also considered the merits of 'revenge travel' being all the rage due to the pandemic and the boom in boomer and empty nest travel and the 'selling it all to travel the world' method of the over 50's and 60's achieving long term travel.
Bravely, she broaches the seldom-discussed subject of Travel Fear amongst people in their midlife and older who yearn to travel but feel worried or unsure and explains why you should never ever let that stop you from pursuing your dreams and planning for your New Future. Janice concludes this episode by giving you 10 good reasons to embrace your golden years of travel!
