It&#8217;s been on the bucket list,\u201d says Lisa Larsen of Ft. Lauderdale. \u201cI have made a resolution to explore one city in one country I have not previously visited per year until I pass \u2013 regardless of what repairs the house needs! I want to know as much as possible about the planet I live on before I die.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now\u2019s a great time to revisit your bucket list of travel adventures \u2013 or create a totally new one.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"h4\">Travel Bucket List Ideas: Top Destinations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Older adults enjoy domestic and international travel for family trips, solo adventures and milestone celebrations, according to the annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aarp.org\/research\/topics\/life\/info-2016\/2017-travel-trends.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AARP Travel Research report<\/a>. Here\u2019s a peek at the top destinations in their survey for the last year:<\/p>\n<h4>Domestic destinations:<\/h4>\n<p>Florida, California and New York. About half of those surveyed for the most recent report planned to travel within the U.S. for summer vacations, family events or weekend getaways.<\/p>\n<h4>International destinations:<\/h4>\n<p>Mexico\/Caribbean, the UK and Italy. About one-third of these travelers go beyond our borders aboard a cruise ship, and 22% make the trip to cross an item off their travel bucket lists.<\/p>\n<p><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeline.com\/blog\/senior-air-travel-tsa\/\">See how the TSA can actually make senior travel easier.<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"h4\">Health Benefits of Travelling\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons a little change of scenery is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/culture-shrink\/201803\/why-travel-is-good-your-mental-health\">good for our health<\/a>, says Jean Kim, MD, clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at George Washington University.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTravel expands your experience, which in turn stimulates your cognition and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeline.com\/blog\/aging-well-the-health-benefits-of-creativity\/\">your creativity<\/a>,\u201d she explains. \u201cNovelty is being introduced in your brain, which activates reward circuitry and can improve your mood. It can also stimulate cognition by exercising new ways of problem-solving, like managing new customs, neighborhoods, transportation, etc. Finally, it also distracts you from everyday issues and refocuses you on new experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And even if we don\u2019t follow through on our travel bucket list or New Year\u2019s resolution, our brains still benefit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust the act of goal-setting helps organize your thought process and enhances your focus,\u201d Kim notes. She adds \u201cIt makes your brain work \u2013 just the planning part takes work, but that\u2019s half the fun!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeline.com\/blog\/protecting-your-health-when-you-travel\/\">Learn about protecting your health when you travel.<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"h4\">Other Benefits of Senior Travel<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Travel is one of the most popular bucket list ideas for older adults. The AARP senior travel trends survey shows that older adults spend about $6,400 on travel across four or five leisure trips each year. Here are the top three factors fueling our urge to explore:<\/p>\n<h4>Bonding Time<\/h4>\n<p>The AARP report found that 57% of older Americans travel to spend time with friends and family. \u201cTraveling together creates memories,\u201d says Charlie Marcus of Suffern, N.Y., who planned a multi-generational cruise including his mother, brother, in-laws, cousin and kids. \u201cRather than a family reunion at home, often around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeline.com\/blog\/summer-vacation-how-to-keep-expectations-and-conflict-in-check\/\">stressful holiday events<\/a>, a \u2018getaway\u2019 is infinitely more special and a nice break from the norm. Nobody hosts, everybody has a sense of freedom, and it lends itself to magic moments that all the generations remember forever, together,\u00a0as a family.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Recovery &amp; Rejuvenation<\/h4>\n<p>Almost half of us travel to relax, reduce stress and recharge, the data show. Kim notes that a change of pace helps lower stress hormones. \u201cWhen I travel \u2014 often solo, often in a new city \u2014 I marvel at how my tasks are reduced to the essential: find the hotel, meet at 2, return by 5, gather in the lobby by 6&#8230;,\u201d laughs Mark Sullivan of Washington, DC. \u201cHit these marks reasonably well, and your day is a perfect success. You walk, you gawk, you eat, you laugh \u2014 you have a great day \u2014 and all you have to do is to pay attention.\u00a0Because, when you travel, paying attention <i>is<\/i> your highest and best purpose. You don\u2019t lose weight, make a doctor\u2019s appointment, file an application, get bids for house repairs \u2014 none of those responsibilities that define your future. Instead, you admire museum exhibits of ancient civilizations, architectural landmarks on the street, unexpected encounters with delightful strangers \u2014 life that demands your attention, now. I find this so satisfying. The worries of the future fade away. Into the void swoops energy, curiosity, empathy. I\u2019m a better me. How could I feel anything but recharged?\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>New Experiences &amp; Learning<\/h4>\n<p>Another popular reason we travel: to get away from everyday life and experience new things (47% of those surveyed). \u201cSometimes we get so caught up in our every day lives and habits and rituals that we stop pushing boundaries and learning and growing,\u201d explains <a href=\"https:\/\/annaintheraw.com\/pages\/about-anna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anna Harouvis<\/a>, a chef and healthy living consultant in Cleveland. \u201cThe best remedy is travel. Feed your soul and you realize that the world is so big and your problems are so small.\u201d Couvreux, Petaluma, CA-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.janiscouvreux.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">author of Sail Cowabunga! A Family&#8217;s Ten Years at Sea<\/a>, agrees. \u201cI still have much to see and learn and want to travel more than ever. The fact that realistically, being 64, I may have only 20 years left, I am earnestly pursuing more travel for the sake of my own spiritual equilibrium. I love getting out of my comfort zone \u2013 to be in places where I don\u2019t know the language or the culture, to learn it, understand, or at least get a familiarity with it. It\u2019s all about learning, interacting, communicating. It\u2019s humbling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeline.com\/blog\/senior-travel-tips-winter-holidays\/\">Get useful travel tips for seniors.<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTravel is a life-enriching experience that staying at home doesn&#8217;t provide,\u201d says Chicago-based Robert Berliner Jr. \u201cYou never know what or who you&#8217;re going to stumble into along the way, as well as what you&#8217;re going to find at your destination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What are you waiting for?
