It's never too late for a(nother) passage to India
Budget travel adventures from the better side of 50
Now is the monsoon of my discontent
So I guess I have a substack now, but why? What will it be about? I’m still working out that bit, but for this first post I’m following the template advice from Substack.. so let’s see where this leads!
Too young for a pension, too old for a new job
The world is changing fast, endless wars, barking mad politicians, global economies in upheaval, and on top of it all, AI is taking over our lives and increasingly our jobs…
After finding myself on an unplanned early retirement (thanks AI!), and being well over 50, with little hope of getting hired in tech now, I had to make a change.
Instead of sitting around in limbo until I’m old enough to get my pension, I chose to set forth on a new adventure.. a somewhat fiscally challenged adventure, but that’s part of the fun!
So I booked a passage to India.. because where better to start an adventure?
A place for over 50’s adventures
My journey already began, I’m traveling around India now, even though it’s the monsoon season, and I’m deciding along the way, where to go next.
I plan to blog and vlog my travels, along with posting articles with what I’ve learned along the way, travel advice, cool locations, unforgettable experiences, and tips & tricks to survive adventures in exotic countries with a limited budget but no desire to bunk in backpacker hostels or take horrendously long bus journeys.. I still like my comforts, as I’m sure most of you do too.
If you have any tips and tricks of your own, or if you’re in a similar boat on a similar journey, please share!
Substack insists I should put a subscribe button here, so there ya go..
Feel free to click it and subscribe to follow and share the adventure.. I aim to post at least weekly.
Maybe it will inspire you to also throw caution to the wind (to a sensible extent 😉 ) and start your own adventures from the better side of 50.
Now here’s a sunrise from the very edge of India…
