Maybe you just decided to go to somewhere a little way off the normal tourist routes or maybe you just got lost! But you find yourself in a place that makes all the effort involved in travelling worthwhile – a real travel gem. That’s what Off the Beaten Track is all about!
But that’s the beauty of being a Senior, you have the freedom to go where you want without worrying about whether you have used up all your annual holiday allocation.
The list below will gradually increase as I continue to travel the world and venture off down back-roads just to see what’s there!
