About this episode

Kevin Flanagan discusses the benefits of travel as a form of medicine for older adults.

Kevin says, “As I've grown older, I've come to think that travel is one of the best medicines we have. It gives us something to look forward to, keeps the mind active, and reminds us that wonder doesn't retire when we do. In fact, studies show that older adults who stay socially active and engaged in experiences such as travel have lower rates of depression and greater life satisfaction. I've certainly found that to be true in my own life, and in this episode I share some of the reasons why.” You can also follow The Top Travel Destinations on social media for updates: Instagram: ⁠@thetoptraveldestinations⁠ X: ⁠@becreativekev
