5 Tricky Travel Questions, And 1 Foolproof Travel Plan

If you are among those who have recently retired and want to relax, travel could be your best medicine. It is usually during this phase of your life that you have enough time--if your children are on their own, and you no longer have to work. If you are healthy enough to travel and have a fair amount of money, you may just want to pack your bags and travel.

However, this is also the phase when you need to plan your travel more meticulously than you did in your younger days, because of the age factor and other requirements, no matter whether you are travelling solo, as a couple or in a group.

Here are five questions you could ask yourself before planning your holiday, and we will help you with the answers to ensure your travel plan is flawless and you have a memorable experience.

WHERE SHOULD I TRAVEL?

The key to deciding the destination is to not necessarily get affected by your emotions and long-nurtured dreams, but by assessing practical factors.

First, check if you are in good health. For example, if you have breathing problem or knee issues, then the mountains may not be right for you. Similarly, if you travel to remote places across different time zones and are on medication, you will have to be mindful. Consult your doctor, carry enough medicine and a prescription in case your stay gets extended. Also check if a proper medical care facility is available that you can access during an emergency.
