Auld Ruin Travels
Travelling the world solo as an elderly gent. There is no sell by date on adventure.
Deciding as an over 65 widower to keep travelling and adventuring as long as I can, I thought this might be of use instead of those young people doing young people things on a whim. This is all about planning and research and the pitfalls and benefits of travelling solo (generally) as a senior gent.
