"Retired? Do you have the urge to travel but don't quite know where to start? I'm here to answer your questions and help you on your way. After my retirement, I started my adventures with a trip to the heart of Kenya, camping out in the bush, listening to the lions roar from my tent. Was I nervous at first? You bet But the more I travelled, the more my confidence grew. You may have similar reservations about taking your first trip, but with the help of this book, I'm confident you'll experiencing incredible new places and new cultures before you know it Peter Barber is a well-seasoned traveller. The vast majority of Peter's trips have taken place since he retired in his mid 50's in 2006. He has travelled extensively throughout Africa and Europe. He has not only travelled for pleasure but also followed his passion and volunteered in wildlife conservation in Kenya and Namibia. He also developed a second career as a wildlife photographer with his photos being used in calendars and books. This blend of travel for pleasure, as well as volunteering later in life gives Peter a unique understanding and appreciation for the roadblocks facing the mature traveller. I wrote this book because I see many people of my age sitting at home seemingly just passing time; not because they are lazy or because they don't care, but simply because they don't know how to take that first step to get up off the couch and get going. I believe what you will learn by reading this book will give you the confidence to take that all-important first step and taking the trip of your dreams. The format for this book is a little unusual but I hope it will make it easier for you to use. The book is organized around the answers to your important travel questions. I designed the book this way to give you the feel as if we were sitting together over a cup of coffee and we were discussing all the questions you need answered. I hope this book will help remove any obstacles you may have concerning starting your travel adventures later in life. Lets GET UP AND GET GOING together A few years ago, I was having trouble deciding if a Canadian Battlefield tour to Europe was right for my wife and me. After talking to Peter, we decided to put our doubts aside and go. We had a fantastic time and we are currently making plans for a third visit to Europe. Thanks Peter - Dennis Chawrun, Victoria BC, Canada My wife and I had often thought of travelling to Africa, but we never seemed to get beyond talking about it. Then Peter told us about his trips and gave us some practical advise on how to get beyond talking and actually planning and taking the trip. We went on a safari to South Africa and we loved it. We recently enjoyed a river cruise in Europe. Thanks for the advice Peter. - Rudy Nielsen, Vancouver
