"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
