Overview

Traveling seniors should follow the same general safety tips that we recommend for all other medical tourists.  However, limited mobility and various health concerns mean that seniors should learn to slow things down, monitor their health, and remain more cognizant of scams.

This section on Travel Tips for Seniors focuses on some of the more common tips and pieces of advice that we’ve collected from online sources and user feedback.   

However, we also recommend that you read our detailed sections on: 

• Traveling with Disabilities, even if you don’t have any type of handicap or medical condition.

• Travel Tips for Everyone, since this will provide you with a broader understanding of the types of scams, health concerns, and packing lists that every traveler should know.

• Travel Tips for Women, even if you are not alone female traveler.  Because victims are usually selected on their perceived vulnerability, many of the tips and pointers discussed in the Travel Tips for Women section might still apply to your particular situation.

 
Lastly, we have created a bookstore and travel store especially designed for senior travelers.  These useful resources can help make your medical tourism vacation infinitely more enjoyable and accessible.
