The Golden Rules of Retirement Travel

This is part of a collection of stories celebrating the many shapes retirement travel can take. Read more here.

Bonni and Bob Gumport travel regularly in their retirement. Not beholden to one short vacation a year (they average seven big ones), their compounding experience has allowed them to develop a code of rules by which they abide— tips and tricks to use wherever they go. After one too many of the small rooms common in boutique hotels, for example, they’ve cut them out entirely. Also out of the question are walking tours within two days of arrival in a new destination, as they prefer to settle in. Their daughter Lauren describes them as “pros on retiree travel,” but they are not the only ones with advice to give.

There are former museum curators who have learned not to overbook themselves; solo travelers who always learn a little of the local language. Adherence to anyone’s rules will never ensure a vacation free of hiccups, where no flight is ever delayed , every tour is worth the hours put in, and every meal sublime . But learning from others may improve your chances of a good time—even when things inevitably go sideways. We’ve spoken to over 20 retired travelers to hear how their Golden Years have informed the way that they travel. Below, find some of their savviest secrets for better trips.

1. Take a ride on the hop-on, hop-off bus tour

If she’s traveling in a city that offers one of those double-decker hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tours, Denver -based Heidi Burtoni, 65, who goes on multiple trips per year, is definitely stepping aboard. Burtoni says it’s a great way to figure out the rest of her itinerary, get tips from other travelers and the tour guide, and get a feel for the new city. “It’s the first thing I do to get the lay of the land,” says Burtoni. Her previous career in sales means the frequent solo traveler will “talk to anybody,” so these tours also open the door for socializing and making connections.

Know what to skip—“whether that means avoiding tourist traps, the most sweltering hours at fairs, or not putting yourself in danger by flagging a taxi when it's unsafe," says Lynn Zelevansky.

2. Figure out what to avoid

For Paul and Lynn Zelevansky (77 and 76, respectively), travel is less about hitting all the top spots and more about learning where not to go, “whether that means avoiding tourist traps, the most sweltering hours at fairs, or not putting yourself in danger by flagging a taxi when it’s unsafe.” They visit the Venice Biennale in fall, now, rather than at the opening, to avoid the worst of the crushes—it also helps them more effectively skirt the city's infamous pickpockets (Lynn's wallet was stolen on a crowded vaporetto ferry in 2022).

3. BYOTP (Bring Your Own Toilet Paper)

“Toilet paper in Europe is very scratchy … not good for sensitive parts,” says Florida native Karen Butera, an avid pickleball player who often travels with the sport in mind. Whenever overseas, she always travels with her own toilet paper. Butera, 66, is taking her granddaughter to see Taylor Swift in Paris this summer, and, yes, she will be packing TP—creature comforts are even more crucial on the road than they are at home.

4. Don’t overschedule

Packed-to-the-brim itineraries used to be J. Patrice Marandel’s MO, but these days, the former chief curator at Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is more keen on scheduling “plenty of time for the unexpected.” Gone are the nonstop days with planned breakfasts, lunches, and dinners; instead, Marandel, 79, leaves room for the possibility of something unexpected and “exciting.” It often pays off.

5. Pack light

Buffalo, New York-based Lisa LaLonde, 74, and her travel companion Antoinette Judelsohn, 70, whom she’s been traveling with for over a decade, are pros at packing light . The pals can manage for a month on very little, relying on the versatility of black leggings and black tops, says LaLonde. The trick? Develop a travel uniform, bring just a few versions, and wash undergarments as necessary, says Judelsohn. Big suitcases stuffed to the brim with a ton of different outfits are more of a hassle than a luxury. “They’re a pain in the neck if you’re getting on a train or off a train … or moving from one city to another,” says LaLonde.

“Anybody and their brother with an RV travels on Sunday,” warns Jenelle Jones.

6. Don't get (too) excited

Judelsohn, a former teacher who met LaLonde when they worked together at the same school in Buffalo, has another travel rule that’s served her well: Letting go of expectations. “I never get excited about a trip,” says Judelsohn. Instead, the savvy traveler lets the excitement emerge based on what's in front of her in the moment.

7. Avoid traveling on Sundays

RVer Jenelle Jones, 64, is against traveling on Sundays. As she puts it, “anybody and their brother with an RV travels on Sunday.” Long weekend RVers who have to get back for work on Monday use Sundays to head home, so retired Jones, 64, simply avoids the day altogether. It's also, according to her, the “biggest day to get in an RV wreck”— yet another reason to sit back and relax. You have nowhere you need to be, after all. Take advantage.

8. Learn a few words of the local language

Charlotte Simpson , whose blog Traveling Black Widow documents her travels (100 countries and counting so far), says her number one travel rule is to learn a few key phrases—hello, goodbye, please, thank you—in the dominant language of the places she visits. Simpson says her efforts are always well received. “I just find, inevitably, it sort of stuns people when I even just say good morning.” Simpson, who prefers not to reveal her age, says she gets a lot out of bridging the language gap with just a few words: “It just makes people so friendly and so happy that you took this moment to learn [their language].”

9. Travel slower

When you cram too much into a single trip, “the whole experience just kind of becomes a blur,” say Gillian Batt, 43, and Stephanie Myers, 51, whose blog Our Freedom Years documents their early retirement and subsequent travels. The couple, who hail from Ontario, Canada, say staying in one place for an extended period of time helps them avoid travel burnout, keep costs low, and enjoy the whole experience more. All that rushing around on limited PTO? Well behind them.

For RVers like Norm, keeping things flexible is key.

10. Go your own way

The pandemic crystallized things for Kim Kelly Stamp , 65, and her wife Liz Schick, 62, who left it all behind and decided to travel around the country in a red 21-foot teardrop trailer. They’ve since gotten really good at going with the flow. “We know where we’re going to stay along the way, but we hold that really loosely and give ourselves the opportunity to make something else happen,” explains Stamp. This approach led them to Laurel, Mississippi, where the HGTV show Hometown —of which Stamp and Schick are big fans of, is based. Instead of following a regimented schedule, they followed their passion when the road forked, literally.

11. Keep an open heart and mind

In spite of being seasoned travelers, John and Bev Martin, 60, who started the RetirementTravelers site to share their journey with others, admit they still need to remind themselves that they can’t control everything. “We have to be patient and receptive to the lessons the world is trying to teach,” says the couple. One that keeps coming up? “Retirement is not the time to stop dreaming about new and different routes in life.”

12. Do your research

The Gumports appreciate getting a taste of the local culture wherever they are traveling, and they’re not opposed to tours or experiences that deliver on this front. But Bonni has a few words of advice: “If you’re looking at purchasing something that uses words such as ‘bespoke, artisanal, farm-to-table’ and more fluffy adjectives, make sure these experiences are as authentic as they sound.” Read reviews thoroughly and take the time to research before you buy, advises Bonni. It's fun to be spontaneous, but it's easy to be misled by clever marketing and buzzwords.

13. It’s a marathon—not a sprint

It wasn’t long before Brenda Huyhn adopted—and adapted— a popular van-lifer rule: Don’t travel more than 3 hours, get in by 3 p.m., and stay at least 3 nights. Huyhn, who at 47 retired earlier than many, is adamant about not trying to do too much in one day to avoid burnout. She and her husband take their time, prioritizing “quality over quantity” with their stops and stays. It makes the entire experience all the richer.

14. You can always head home

Diana Petterson is on track to hit the 100-country mark just in time for her 70th birthday in 2026. But as much as the Black solo traveler loves seeing the world, she’s not afraid to ditch a trip if something isn’t working out. “Wherever I am in the world, if for whatever reason I am uncomfortable, or I don't feel well … I’m going to plop down that credit card , and get home.”

15. Start the day early to avoid the crowds

Artist Simma Liebman, 76, enjoys going to museums while visiting new cities and places. But since the retiree is immunocompromised, she plans these outings a little differently. Now Liebman hits the museums “as early in the day as possible” and masks up while taking in the art "unless there are very few people inside.” Whatever your motivation, rising early is something you can be sure the hordes of 20-something backpackers won't be doing. Beat them to all the best spots.

“I like a very good hotel, but not necessarily the best,” says Betty. Focus on getting the right location.

16. Base yourself strategically

Betty, 80, an art collector who declined to share her last name, has found that mid-sized hotels (meaning about 200 rooms) in central locations, with just enough of the services she wants and needs, do the job. “I like a very good hotel, but not necessarily the best,” says Betty. As long as you have the basics covered, it's really about location, location, location.

17. Don’t wait for tomorrow

Instead of putting off travel for a later date, Chicago -based Ruthie Maldonado-Delwiche advises those interested in exploring the world to get out there and “do it now.” Because “tomorrow isn’t promised,” Maldonado-Delwiche, who’s been traveling since she retired in 2017, says. Don't wait if there’s something you want to do or a place you want to visit.

Former psychiatrist Ann Heaslett, 60, who aims to run the six major world marathons in her retirement, feels exactly the same way. “There’s no time like the present.”

Top 8 Places to Escape the Golden Week Crowds

National Day in China (October 1-7) is known as the "Golden Week". Chinese people will have a 7-day holiday. It is the peak season for travel.

Since everyone has the week off, it is an inescapable fact that golden week is a very busy travel time. During golden week, most Chinese people will go to large famous cities or coastal cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Qingdao, and Sanya. The southwest, west, and northeastern parts of China are often less crowded and definitely worth a visit.

1. Tibet — Lofty Mountain Splendor

The culture, nature, and people there are reasons for you to pay a visit to Tibet at least once in your lifetime. From the unspoiled sacred lakes to the world's highest peak — Mount Everest ; from the vast untouched Changtang Grasslands to the depths of the Yarlung-Tsangpo Canyon, the Roof of the World is filled with awe and pristine beauty.

Tibet doesn't accept independent travelers . Traveling with a travel agency is required. Contact us to explore the main highlights from Lhasa to Everest Base Camp. Consider a top Tibet trekking trip, Everest Base Camp trek , if you'd love a more outdoorsy experience.

• 8-Day Lhasa to Everest Base Camp Tour — Pilgrimage to the Roof of the World
• 5-Day Lhasa Classics and Lake Yamdrok Tour — Lhasa Highlights and Holy Lake
• 4-Day Lhasa Highlights Comfort Tour — Capture the Spirit of Lhasa

2. Gannan for Outdoor Paradise

Located in south western Gansu Province and the northeast of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, Gannan has both Tibetan culture and stunning plateau landscape.

This area is famous for having a similar feel to Tibet but doesn't require a Travel Permit. With the average altitude of 3,000 meters above sea level, you can experience Tibetan culture and enjoy the plateau scenery in comfort and without the risk of altitude sickness.

Here you will see grand prairies, scattered lakes, monasteries, Tibetan villages, unique mountain peaks, and hidden wonderlands. This is a trip you will not want to miss.

3. Western Sichuan Province for Alpine Scenery and Tibetan Culture

Autumn is a perfect season for outdoor activities and is when you can enjoy the fresh air and cool weather. How about taking a hike through tall mountains and rolling fields? The western part of Sichuan offers routes with stunning natural scenery and minority cultures that are popular with photographers and outdoor lovers alike.

The golden fall colors in Daocheng are gorgeous. Especially when put together with the white snowy mountains and different varieties of plant life. Daocheng is a popular stopover point on the journey to Yading, a place where you can gain insight into the nature of the Tibetan minority culture.

Hongcaodi, Konkaling, Xiongdeng Temple, Bangpu Temple, and Rewa Temple are the top attractions here. In autumn, the red bushes of Hongcaodi combined with the yellow foliage under the clear blue sky are believed to exhibit the colors of heaven. The temples in these mountains represent the local Buddhist culture.

Above freezing in October: The temperature in autumn stays around 10°C (40-50°F).

• 8-Day Sichuan Adventure Tour — A Golden Circle for Diverse Landscapes and the Tibetan Culture

4. Inner Mongolia — Enjoy the Populous Euphratica Forest

Inner Mongolia is located in Northern China, bordering Russia and Mongolia (Outer Mongolia). With a total area of 1.18 million square kilometers, Inner Mongolia's size is as large as four Britain's.

October is a great time to visit Inner Mongolia. At this time, travelers can go to the quiet Ejina to enjoy the wonderful scenery of the area's unique populous Euphratica forest.

The particularity of its geographical position has blessed Inner Mongolia with rich travel resources including plains, deserts, sparkling lakes, and massive herds of cattle and sheep. You can even experience the Mongols' ancient sporting traditions like horse racing, wrestling, and archery.

• 7-Day Dunhuang, Zhangye, and Ejina Photography Tour
• 6-Day Grassland and Desert Tour with Hiking and Camping
• More Inner Mongolia tours

5. Silk Road Discovery of Zhangye and Dunhuang

Traveling China's Silk Road is a journey into China's ancient history and diverse culture quite unlike any other. It's a journey of contrasts: Han and Uyghur ethnicities, Buddhist and Muslim religion, Eastern and Central Asian culture, natural and man-made wonders, dry desert and Alpine mountain scenery.

The best time to travel to the Silk Road is from May to October. Weather conditions are pleasant from late spring to early autumn with an average temperature of 15 °C. Although summer weather can be hot, the weather is dry and much more comfortable than hot days in the humid tropics. We recommend this time because the scenery is ideal when the fruits ripen, the flowers are in full bloom, and green grass covers the plateaus.

Our private China Silk Road tours offer an easy and flexible pace tailored for everyone to experience the history, culture relics, ethnic minorities, landscape, and local interaction along the great Silk Road. With our local tour guides and exclusive arrangement, you will touch the heartbeat under the ground of the Silk Road.

• 6-Day Zhangye and Dunhuang Photography Tour
• More Silk Road tours

6. Great Wall Hiking and Camping

A hiking of the wild Great Wall is definitely an amazing experience in October, especially during the Golden Week (Ntional Day holidays) if you want to get away from crowds.

Hiking, campng, having a BBQ dinner, sharing beers with friends, appreciating the enchanting sunset and sunrise over the Great Wall... All these exciting things you experienced on the Great Wall will be your unforgetable memory.

• 2-Day Jiankou Wild Great Wall Camping Tour
• 1-Day Jinshanling Great Wall Hiking
• More Great Wall hiking tours

7. Qinghai Province for the Quiet and Beautiful Expanses

If you have a craving for pure and stunning natural scenery and don't want to be disturbed by crowds, Qinghai Province in the northwest of China may be just the place for you.

Qinghai Lake is the sparkling jewel of north west China. Although autumn is not said to be the best time to visit the lake, the season offers a different kind of beauty well-worth seeing. The lake is quieter and more peaceful in autumn when it is decorated with yellow grasslands and snow-capped mountains. Standing on the banks, you will have a wide view of the scenery. This huge lake and quiet environment will make you feel at peace and engulfed in natural beauty.

• Qinghai Lake Biking Tour
• 8-Day Miraculous Qinghai and Legendary Silk Road Tour

8. Kaili in Guizhou Province for Minority Culture

Guizhou Province is home to many of China's minority groups and Kaili is one of the best places to use as a base for exploring these minority cultures. In Kaili, the museum, the Sunday market, and the villages nearby with their unique culture and architecture are all worth a visit. Western travelers typically enjoy a two or three-day stay in Kaili.

It is said that in Kaili "Grand festivals occur there every three days, while minor ones occur every day."

"Why do I still like agents? A competent travel adviser can be your greatest asset when you're planning a trip. Good travel agents have an edge over almost any other seller of travel. They know what you want. They speak your language. And they're there for you when you run into trouble."

Christopher Elliott, ombudsman, National Geographic Traveler magazine.

"It's clear agents can likely save travelers big money and help set a realistic itinerary. Even where they weren't cheaper, the agents competed with what we could find on our own. And we were impressed where they did save us money, in particular with hotels."

Jane Hodges, Wall Street Journal

"Having a travel agent advise you is now more important than ever," as fees, surcharges, and other travel restrictions have become more confusing for consumers. "Travel is on of the most complicated purchases."

Postcards from Italy: Mouni Roy’s latest vacation spot

TRAVEL TRENDS , ITALY Created : Sep 23, 2024, 18:01 IST

Mouni Roy, the stylish Bollywood diva, was recently seen exploring the beautiful roads of Italy. She shared some dreamy pictures of her Italian sojourn on her social media profile which are giving people some serious travel inspirations. Apparently, she was attending Milan Fashion Week, and took the golden opportunity to dive into the charming Italian ambiance. Surrounded by the soothing Mediterranean vibe, she also indulged in delicious Italian cuisine. On this note, let’s have a look at 5 of the most stunning attractions that you can’t miss out on visiting when in Italy:

Colosseum, Rome

Number one on the list is the grand and iconic Colosseum. This ancient amphitheater is a symbol of Rome's royal past. Once inside, you’ll be lost in history and can explore the world of gladiators! It’s a must visit for sure!

Leaning Tower of Pisa

Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most mysterious attractions in the world noted for its unintended tilt. It makes for a remarkable sight where visitors can also climb the steps and enjoy mesmerising views of the city.

Canals and Gondola rides

Another mandatory thing to do in Italy is enjoying a gondola ride. These romantic rides take visitors through Venice’s pretty canals. It is a quintessential Italian experience. People can enjoy the stunning architecture while gliding past landmarks like the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Basilica, among others.

Vatican City

Vatican City is the smallest independent state in the world. The place is home to St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, and the Vatican Museums. When here, you can admire Michelangelo's incredible frescoes.

Cinque Terre:

Another must-visit coastal gem in Italy, Cinque Terre is a region made of five vibrant hamlets perched on cliffs along the Ligurian Sea. Visitors can hike the picturesque trails between the villages, relish fresh seafood, and soak in amazing views of the coastline and vineyards.

Amalfi Coast

Amalfi Coast is a dream come true! The place is all about towering cliffs and breathtaking coastline. It features cute little villages/towns like Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello, among others. You simply can’t unsee the Mediterranean views you get from here.

Uffizi Gallery in Florence

Florence’s Uffizi Gallery is noted for its remarkable collection of some of the world’s most prominent artworks. The gallery is home to masterpieces by artists like Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci. A must-visit place for history lovers!
