Stressless travel for seniors
The age of senescence does not put a full-stop to
the possibilities of dreams. It is the right
time to travel the world with your loved ones.
The desire to travel is abundant but it is
equally important to care for oneself and others.
Explore the colourful cities and culture through
a global journey. Erase the constant worries and
give some space to travel thoughts. When you
have your aged parent on the journey, make a note
of few things to have a smooth trip Travelling
with family would be diuerent than when
travelling with friends. Especially, when
everyone knows each other's behaviour and mood to
the last detail. When you have seniors on
travel, always be flexible to take regular
breaks. It would be a good oppor- tunity to have
a nice stretch. A walk could refresh the mind.
And maybe it could give the time to do your
favourite activity or crack a joke or two!

Nourishment is the necessary thumb rule on a
journey. General- ly, the mothers are remindful
to keep enough of snacks for the entire family.
The goody bag, that is, the picnic basket
prepared by the mothers comes along with
favourite snacks of the family members. For the
elders, it is essential to take their meals on
time as they would have to take daily
medications. Having food on the wheels solves
the confusions and becomes a life-saver when one
does not find a good restaurant on the
way. Safety in every step. Keep an eye on the
elders at all times. Grandkids can assist their
grandparents in doing activities by just holding
their hands and providing the extra support. This
kind of quality time will open windows for the
senior to share memories and interesting
experiences with their grandkids. It is also a
great time to interact with one's
grandparents. One of the important essentials on
an expedition is the safety medical kit. Keep a
checklist of the necessary medicines which are
needed. And make sure it is packed and suitable
for use. Travelling gear is a must on trips.
Walking sticks, strollers, wheelchairs, neck
cushions and scarves are the protective gears
for a happy journey. Knowing the nearby hospitals
and clinics would help us to handle any kind of
medical emergency during the travel.

  sweets?

  mixture of pow- dered nuts can help satiate the
  feeling.
