Independent Traveler, via SmarterTravel.com, has released their “7 Safety Tips for Senior Travelers.”
Here are some of our favorite tips!
They suggest trying to avoid “advertising” when you’re out of your hotel room by putting up “clean my room” or other signs. Liz Dahl, co-founder of Boomer Travel Patrol, told the Independent Traveler that “those signs are an open invitation to let people know that the room is empty.”
Watch what you eat! Independent Traveler writes that seniors tend to have “more sensitive tummies.” Just be a little cautious before eating “a plateful of heavy bratwurst in Germany or spicy vindaloo in India!”
Consider ditching the heels! Dahl says “heels, even small ones, can make you more prone to spraining an ankle or falling.”
