In this vast world, many people cherish the love of travel and dream of being able to freely travel between the magnificent mountains and rivers of their homeland after retirement, and appreciate the unique culture and customs of each place. Especially those who have retired, who are limited by work when they are young, always want to have more time to travel the world after retirement, relax their minds, immerse themselves in the beautiful scenery of different regions, and experience the bits and pieces of the journey. However, 69-year-old Aunt Wang has a different view on this. She advises everyone to reduce the frequency of travel after the age of 60, because too much travel will bring mental fatigue and trouble. She gives 5 real reasons for thought.
Aunt Wang used to be an employee of a state-owned enterprise, and she was so busy with work that she hardly had the opportunity to go out. After retirement, she was again tied up by her grandson's education, and her life was full and compact. But 5 years ago, her life changed. With more time and more financial conditions, Aunt Wang and her wife decided to live a colorful retirement life, so they chose to travel.
Their pension adds up to more than 10,000 yuan and their savings are quite considerable, so they decided to join a tour group, so that they can enjoy a relaxed way of traveling without the tedious planning of the itinerary. They walked through Dali, Yunnan Province, and felt the sense of history and natural beauty of the ancient city; In Sichuan, they tasted Lao She's big bowl of tea and authentic Sichuan hot pot.
During the trip, Aunt Wang and her wife took a lot of ** and recorded every beautiful moment, making them feel as if they had returned to their youth and felt the colorfulness of life. However, as time goes on, they start to feel tired and no longer have much to expect from their next destination and don't want to climb the top again. Perhaps, the novelty has passed, or perhaps there are too many similarities between each tourist city, and they are starting to get tired of the travel life.
On the way to explore the world, we are often attracted by the charm of travel. However, Auntie Wang has four reasons to warn us that frequent travel may not be as good as we imagined.
Originally wanted to immerse themselves in an unfamiliar city and enjoy its unique natural and cultural beauty, but Aunt Wang found that their schedules were always full and they spent most of their time on the road. In each place, the tour guide only allows them to stay for 30-40 minutes and take pictures. If the tourists stay for a while, the tour guide will keep urging them, and the interest of tourism will disappear immediately.
Once the time out, the guide will gather everyone and continue to hurry to the next attraction. In such an itinerary, apart from basic eating and rest, there is very little time that can really be used for sightseeing. The attractions are crowded, and you have to queue up to go to the toilet, and you have to leave before you finish watching an attraction.
Such a fast pace is really difficult for seniors over 60 years old to adapt. The long journey coupled with the climate change made them feel unwell, and they were exhausted before the evening, and they just wanted to go back to the hotel to rest, and they were still in the mood to see the scenery.
They don't take into account the feelings of elderly tourists, and everywhere they go, they sell all kinds of souvenirs, and even drive buses to the door of convenience stores. Aunt Wang once bought an expensive fur, and later found that the same goods were only half of the ** in other places.
In addition, the experience of eating and lodging in tourism is often far from expectations. At the time of registration, the five-star hotels and local cuisine promised by the person in charge turned into low-quality accommodation and restaurants with poor taste.
The tour groups are large in size and have different personalities, some are overly enthusiastic and others are reticent. Aunt Wang likes to be quiet, but she is often disturbed during the trip, and she does not dare to remind the other party, so she can only endure it.
This kind of travel made Aunt Wang feel tired and tired. She found that she wanted to find happiness in traveling, but she didn't expect it to bring more pain. Gradually, she no longer likes to travel, she no longer wants to socialize with people, she just wants to go home and enjoy life quietly.
Auntie Wang earnestly reminded everyone, especially those over 60 years old, to avoid frequent travel. After all, as you get older, your ability to adapt to a new environment decreases, and frequent travel only makes you feel physically and mentally exhausted.
In addition, the long distance makes the body much less resistant, and the risk of infection increases when exposed to a variety of people and environments. Imagine what a terrible experience it would be if you got sick during your trip. Long periods of travel can also create a sense of psychological loneliness among older people, as they leave their friends and family away and face the world alone.
At home, however, life can be as you please. Wake up in the morning and you can read, listen, or go for a walk in the park. After lunch, play chess with friends, play cards, or work out with old friends in the afternoon. Every day is packed and life is full and fun.
At home, you can also reunite with your children at any time, share each other's daily moments, and feel the warmth of family affection. Such a life, inner peace and contentment, is far more precious than the uncertainty of travel.
Aunt Wang's point of view is not unreasonable, after the age of sixty, her body functions gradually decline, and she really can't bear too many twists and turns. The fatigue of the journey and the climate change can be overwhelming.
And in tourist spots, apart from crowded crowds and mechanical photography, what can you get? It's better to watch the beauty of TV from the comfort of your own home.
What's more, joining a tour can sometimes come across unpleasant experiences, such as the unfriendly attitude of some guides. At home, we don't have to endure this grievance.
Of course, traveling is a meaningful thing, but it doesn't have to be a frequent trip. You can plan ahead with friends, go on an independent trip or family trip, and enjoy quality time with your family. Travel shouldn't just be about quantity, it's about quality, and you can choose to spend quality time with your family on your own or as a family. You can also take a meaningful trip according to your expectations and dreams.
