Times have changed and I am older, so I've had to adapt the way I do things when traveling. After 50 years of travel, I've seen many changes in the travel industry, but also in my own priorities and abilities. As a senior traveling solo, its important for me to make changes as I learn and grow. I want to make sure I continue to enjoy my travels and relish each new experience. In order to do this, I stay up-to-date on new technology, travel trends, and changes in regulations. I also prioritize comfort, health, and meaningful experiences. Exploring the world has endless possibilities, but the process is important if you really want to enjoy each destination. #seniortravel #solotravel #traveltips #travelvlog #travelhacks #thingsIdon'tdoanymore Products mentioned in this video: Foldable Backpack: Tuban Ultralight Backpack: https://amzn.to/4s9GNwA Eagle Creek Foldable Backpack: https://alnk.to/90CQpQf Cushiony Socks: Thorlos Socks: https://amzn.to/4w4Wsj8 Condensable Puffy Coat: Women: Outdoor Ventures: https://amzn.to/4lpgGiF Land's End Packable Puffer: https://amzn.to/3NhY9s8 Amazon version: https://amzn.to/4lp0xK6 Men: Outdoor Ventures: https://amzn.to/4s9q6BB Rapoo/Inexpensive version: https://amzn.to/470Ok8F @seniorsolotravel Facebook Travel Forum: https://www.facebook.com/groups/443309331791413 Senior Solo Travel Website: https://www.seniorsolotravel.net/ 0:00 What I Don't Do Anymore 0:23 Whistle Stop Tours 1:13 Cheapest Flight 1:34 Printed Material 1:57 Figure Things Out on My Own 2:31 Overpack 3:07 Appearance 4:04 Ground Transportation 4:45 What I Do Now 4:50 Two Shoes 5:08 Cushiony Socks 5:14 Condensable Coat 5:32 Foldable Backpack 5:54 Phone Purchases 6:11 Travel Insurance 6:44 Off the Beaten Path 7:21 Comfort & Health *As an Amazon Associate I earn a small amount from qualifying purchases, which doesn't change the price you pay.
