🧐What readers say about the book
This book is well laid out with 6 strategies and 121 tips for retirees who plan to travel. The first six chapters cover the six strategies-Plan with purpose, Maximize flexibility, Optimize Discounts, Leverage Technology, Minimize Risks, Expand your horizons-and the remaining four chapters provide improved travel tips. I found it quite comprehensive on goal setting for travel for people aged 50+, such as strategies for finding better deals, exploring new opportunities, and safety tips for road trips. I appreciate the author includes illustrations and case studies. The book also provided me with a lot of advice, such as when traveling alone, navigating public transportation systems, or managing travel finances securely. The author offers several bonuses with the book: a Free Trip Planning Template to plan any trip by addressing the nine travel variables discussed in this book, a Free Travel Tips Exchange Forum for you to join, and a Free 4-hour Retiring Resiliently Mini-Course to gather tips. My opinions are my own.
