Aging Like Fine Wine: What Gets Better in Your 60s According to a 62-Year-Old Solo Traveler
Welcome to the fabulous world of the sixty-somethings! As a 62-year-old female solo traveler who's lost her luggage a few times along the way, let me regale you with tales of the wonders that await you in your “golden” (or in my case “platinum” years. Yes, you heard me right – life does indeed get better in your 60s, and I'm here to prove it.
First, let's talk about adventure. The thrill of discovering new cities, discovering new restaurants, uncharted territories, and occasionally getting lost (it happens to the best of us). In your 60s, adventure takes on a whole new meaning. You're wiser, bolder, and more determined than ever to enjoy every moment of the day.
Adventure doesn't have to break the bank. As a seasoned traveler and penny-pincher extraordinaire, I've mastered the art of budget travel with the finesse of a seasoned pro. From snagging last-minute deals to embracing the wonders of house/pet sitting, there are plenty of ways to indulge your wanderlust without emptying your retirement fund.
And let's not forget about “intentional wellness” – because let's face it, a healthy body and mind are the ultimate travel companions. In your 60s, you're more in tune with your needs and desires than ever before. Prioritizing self-care is the ultimate act of kindness – to yourself - so I say “date yourself”. That’s right, take yourself out for a nature walk, stop and enjoy a bite to eat, take in a movie, listen to live music, and/or attend an art opening alone. Who knows, you may meet someone special and if not …you are already with someone special-YOU!
Perhaps the most surprising perk of life in your 60s is the freedom to be unabashedly yourself. No more pretending to be someone you're not or conforming to society's expectations. In your 60s, you're free to be unapologetically you – wrinkles, wisdom, dry sense of humor and all. And let me tell you, there's something incredibly liberating about embracing your quirks and idiosyncrasies with open arms. It’s
Now, I know what you're thinking – what about romance? Ah, yes, the eternal quest for love and companionship. Whether you're flying solo or swooning with a special someone by your side, love knows no age limit. In your 60s, you're free to pursue romance with the same fervor and passion as you did in your youth – albeit with a bit more wisdom and a lot less drama.
So there you have it– life does indeed get better in your 60s. From daring adventures to budget travel and everything in between, these years are ripe with possibilities. So here's to embracing the journey, savoring the moments, and living life to the fullest – wrinkles and all! Cheers to the fabulous sixties. Let's make them the best years yet!
