Seniors Discover Several Classic Travel Publications

There have to be hundreds of travel magazines and publications.  Which ones should we subscribe to? This question applies to many of us senior citizen travelers. I would like to recommend that senior travelers consider perusing each of these below to enhance your journeys. They are not in any order or preference, just a listing of some that I have found to be useful.

National Geographic Traveler is an excellent one for starters. I have subscribed to this publication for years and love it. It celebrates journeys that are about place, experience, culture, authenticity, and great photography. And of course coming from National Geographic it just has top notch, right?
Travel and Leisure (known as T&L) focuses on leisure travel and features resorts, restaurants, cuisine, and entertainment. It also often includes World’s Best Awards in many categories. Then there are reader surveys  rating destinations and a listing of highly rated travel providers.
Conde Nast Traveller rates right at the top for me and offers practical guides to over 250 of the world’s best holiday destinations with detailed information on each. Touch the GUIDES button and hone in on specific areas of the globe.

For Senior Women Travelers

Journey Woman is an online travel resource just for women. This is the only magazine I know of that focuses on women and travel. You can browse travel ads, enjoy the 500 Best Travel Tips section and read Hear Travel Tales.
My Destination is a local guide in travel destinations all around the world, covering current events and things to do, along with all the information a senior traveler could need. Its homepage lets you hone in on specific areas of the world and highlights travel articles and blogs that you’ll find helpful. I liked their “Biggest Baddest Bucket List“section.
Outpost Magazine is a bi-monthly magazine providing archived resource information on destinations and creating a community of travelers. The homepage site is highly colorful, with many links.
Literary Traveler is a new resource for me that provides informative articles featuring writers and the places that they have traveled with many colorful photos.

On A Junket features stories from travelers on adventures and misadventures, travel tips and guides. I loved the photo of the Israeli soldier with a bird sitting on his foot. Neat shot huh? You’ll find travel stories written by enthusiastic travel writers, each of whom has taken a slice of their journey to share with readers.
Inside Flyer
Dedicated solely to you frequent travelers and here you’ll discover their many free award programs. Each month, Inside Flyer provides readers a closer look at the latest news from the frequent traveler. They pose a question to readers that asks: “How would you use 5 million miles/points?” Most (71.5%), like me, chose Travel around the world.  Some (10.1%) were nice and transferred points to family and friends. A few (6.1%) remarked that they would charter an entire plane and take a whole bunch of folks with them and fly everywhere.

This makes for great dreaming and planning material, enjoy!   jeb
