Have you ever traveled alone after retirement?

I'm glad to answer your question. My answer to your question is yes.

Last April and May, when I took a delegation to Beidaihe, I met an uncle who retired and wanted to travel. After the group meal, I still had some free time, so I chatted with my uncle for a while. Then I learned that he had traveled with his aunt before, and when he came back, his aunt got into trouble, so he stopped going out with his wife, saying that he was in poor health and was not suitable for going out. When he comes home, he is bound to get into trouble.

I remember that a few days after my next trip, my uncle sent me a WeChat asking me about flying to Jiuzhaigou, saying that I wanted to go to Jiuzhaigou again. Actually, I admire my uncle. Let's not comment on whether people are rich or not, just say this spirit. This concept has to be admired from the bottom of my heart! Uncle, capable! The whole person is full of vigor and vitality, very "young"!

One day, I hope I can live like my uncle. Free and easy person!

I retired last March. I went to Qingdao alone in April, Huangshan alone in May, Qinghai-Tibet alone in July and Inner Mongolia Prairie in August.

I like traveling. I often go out when I am busy at work. At that time, I always wanted to bring a companion when traveling. Going out alone feels uncomfortable, unsafe, and there is no one to talk to. So I found a companion tourist among my colleagues and friends a few months in advance. You want to go to this city, others want to go to that city, you want to see the mountains, others want to see the water, you want to go on May Day, and finally get together. It's hard to agree to go out together. You want to see it. Finding a like-minded tourist is more difficult than finding an object. In this case, I embarked on a personal journey, saying that I don't have to consider other people's feelings. I can go anywhere I want, and I can play whatever I want. I felt very cool and happy, so I started a journey alone.

I finally retired last March, and my dream of traveling for many years began to come true. The first stop is Huangshan Mountain. I had planned to go hiking by cable car. At the entrance, I couldn't stand the temptation of two young men and joined the climbing team of young people. After three and a half hours of hard climbing, I climbed to the top of Huangshan Mountain, stayed in baiyun hotel in the evening, and visited Xihai Grand Canyon, Aoyubei and Lotus Peak the next day. In the afternoon, I climbed down Huangshan Mountain with crutches. I climbed up the hill and walked down the hill. I spent two days visiting all the scenic spots in Huangshan. Most tourists take a one-way cableway to visit Huangshan Mountain. It is estimated that there are not many people who can hike up and down Huangshan Mountain, especially those who can hike up and down Huangshan Mountain are rare.

The second stop is Tibet. A person went to Tibet by train, stayed in Tibet for more than half a month, visited Linzhi, Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, Basongcuo, well, Shigatse, Everest Base Camp, Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple and other major tourist attractions, and finally watched the large-scale dance historical drama Princess, and completed the trip to Tibet as expected.

The third stop is Qinghai. On the way back from Tibet, I got off at Xining and visited the famous Qinghai Lake, Chaka Salt Lake and Menyuan Rape Flower Base.

The fourth stop is Inner Mongolia. I went to Wuhai and Hohhot, and finally went to Xilin Gol Prairie.

Retired for half a year and set foot on more than 20 cities in ten provinces of the motherland. Some time ago, a message popped up on my mobile phone, telling me that the cities I visited last year accounted for 8% of the country's total population. It feels good to travel alone. Traveling after retirement is my job.

Hello! Hello everyone!

In the summer of 20 16, an old man sat next to me on the bus to the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing, carrying a travel bag. It looks like grandpa is very energetic, thin and bronzed. We just sat quietly and didn't speak.

After about half an hour, grandpa looked at me and asked, "Young man, are you going to the Great Wall, too?"

"Well, yes," I replied softly.

"How far is it from here to the Great Wall?" Grandpa kept asking me.

I turned on the mobile phone software, looked at it and said, "More than half an hour."

In this way, my grandfather and I opened the box and learned from him that he was a retired veteran cadre and often traveled after retirement. He said that he would let his footprints travel all over the mountains and rivers of the motherland. Grandpa told me interesting stories about his trip all the way. Listen to me joking. Grandpa is so humorous.

Half an hour passed quickly, and I had a good chat with grandpa. The bus stops at Badaling Great Wall Station, but it is still several kilometers away from Badaling Great Wall Scenic Area. I'm still a little sad at the thought of leaving grandpa.

"Grandpa, I won't be sightseeing bus. I will look at the scenery along the way. You can take this sightseeing bus and go directly to the ticket office of Badaling Great Wall, "I said, pointing to sightseeing bus.

"Does this sightseeing bus cost money?" Grandpa looked at me and said.

"Grandpa, this sightseeing bus is free," I explained with a smile.

"Oh, I'll take a walk and exercise my old bones, too." After that, grandpa began to walk.

I followed my grandfather. On the way, I asked him, "Grandpa, why are you traveling alone?" Where's your wife? "

Grandpa's steps slowed down and his eyes were wet. Grandpa took out a wallet from his trouser pocket. It looks like this wallet is a bit old, with a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on it. Grandpa choked and said slowly, "This is my wife."

Although I didn't understand, I could see that Grandpa was very sad, so I didn't ask any more questions.

Grandpa never spoke to me again along the way. At the gate of the Great Wall scenic spot, grandpa took out his wallet in his trouser pocket and slowly choked and said, "Look, wife, this is the Great Wall."

I watched silently and didn't speak, but somehow I was a little sad.

Grandpa turned to me and said slowly, "This wallet contains my wife's ashes. She died before she retired. I promised to take her out for a trip when I retired.

Grandpa left, and I stood still. I looked at grandpa's back and the dazzling sunshine. I stood there for a long time ... a long time. ...

I am a female, 50 years old. Sometimes I walk with my friends, sometimes I walk alone, watching the beautiful scenery in the world and stopping. A friend's physical strength is similar to his schedule. Rest when you are tired in the hotel, ensure enough sleep, and start a new journey the next day. This kind of trip lasted for several years, clean and comfortable.

I traveled to Xinjiang for half a month last year and walked with my 60-year-old sister. She is full of energy. Go out early and come back late every day, take a bus and visit 10 hour. When I get to the hotel, I feel tired and just want to sleep. But she has to wash clothes first, and then lie in bed and watch many of her mass videos on WeChat (no traffic is needed during the day). I have told her many times, and every time I accept it with an open mind, I will never change it, and it has no effect. I can't sleep at night and feel listless during the day. Finally, she said that I was unreasonable, and we ended up in discord.

Therefore, during this trip, I realized that in addition to congenial feelings, the economic conditions are similar, and the physical strength cannot be too different. Especially when you meet relatives who don't give in for you, don't travel together.

What's so strange about this? I am 66 years old. On March 30th this year, I went to Nepal with my backpack. I don't have much trouble with body language except for asking for help on arrival visa. In Nepal, Nepalese who can speak Mandarin and China people who do business all call me "awesome". My answer is, "making money is awesome, spending money is nothing." In fact, it's quite fun to travel abroad alone. Surfing in uncharted places, listening to a language you don't understand, feeling the dislocation of mistaking other countries for your own, watching the strange customs of foreigners, and having the habit of grabbing food with your hands while putting chopsticks. It really opened my mind and eyes at the same time. After returning home, I looked at my motherland with many tall buildings and wrote the word "long live the motherland" from my heart!

There is a teacher living upstairs in my house. He retired and remained unmarried for life. He is bored at home alone. He doesn't even have any friends. He just can't get in. I have a dog. He talks about dogs when he is free, and he gets to know them in the long run. He said that he often travels alone, and he has been to Tibet, Xinjiang, Hainan, Jiuzhaigou, southeast and northwest. When he got home, he told interesting stories about his trip, sometimes going out for three to five days. It's a pity to see him alone. Go home and scrimp, eat steamed stuffed buns and pickles every day, and save money for travel. Is the trip really fun? Maybe traveling is very attractive to a retired person. It's a good choice to travel if you have something to do. Just be happy.

I have retired for five years, female. I travel several times a year, both at home and abroad. I have experienced companionship and solo. The first time was 20 14 in Qingdao, Dalian, Yantai, Long Island and other places. I went alone 18 days. Stay a few more days to see what is delicious, taste local snacks, enjoy the local beauty, and live in a family trip (to save money), which is very comfortable. What impressed me the most was 2065438+at the beginning of April 2008, I went to Lhasa by train alone and went to Linzhi with a group to enjoy peach blossoms. The scenic spots in Lhasa and Namtso are my own enjoyment. I traveled to Turkey last June165438+1October. I went alone with a group in Shanghai, and the Yangzhou elder sister I met in the group shared a room with me. During the 13-day trip, we played together, took care of each other and established friendship, which is unforgettable so far. Traveling not only enjoyed the beautiful scenery, broadened my horizons and made friends, but more importantly, it enriched my retirement life and made me feel happy and have something to do. I will go out often as long as circumstances permit.

I travel every year and go to Linzhi for ten days every year. When I went to Linzhi, I stayed in an inn full of flowers. Linzhi is not going to see the scenery, but to meet a person. Sometimes it is strange that you are so lonely in the crowd and have a chilling sense of self-nothingness; But everyone is sitting on the roof of that inn, and I am often the only guest in the inn. Sitting on the rooftop of the inn surrounded by flowers, white clouds and blue sky, the snow-capped mountains in the distance appear and disappear. I am often touched, as if I can clearly hear my heartbeat and truly feel my existence. Therefore, no matter how busy I am every year, I will take ten days off and go to Linzhi for a short stay just to meet myself.

Feel the charm of nature with a good attitude and good mood.

I retired on 20 16. I have been to more than twenty countries. I have been to northern Europe, western Europe and southern Europe, including France and Italy twice, Eastern European countries have only been to Russia, and others will go this year or next year. Africa has only been to Egypt, South Asia has been to India and Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asian countries often go there. The United States only went to the United States, and South American countries are also planning. Sometimes I travel alone, sometimes I travel with a group, and I only quote a one-price all-inclusive trip and stay in a five-star hotel. Generally speaking, the quality of such teams is better. I can't believe how happy I am after retirement! In addition, I want to tell you that mastering English is a very cost-effective thing: there will be some special restaurants on cruise ships and in five-star hotels. After boarding the ship and getting the key at the hotel, the first thing you do is to make an appointment with the front desk clerk. In this way, you can enjoy more exquisite food. I just looked at the app navigation on my mobile phone, and there are flight records from February 20 16 to February this year (there are no records of cruise ships and trains). I flew 46 times in one flight! I kind of admire myself. hahaha.

When I was traveling in the United States, I met a very amazing thing and lamented the American spirit of contract. In Miami, I called a car rental company this morning and said I wanted to rent the cheapest compact car. They told me that there is a Mitsubishi Phantom 124 USD per week. I said, "ok, I'll rent it for two weeks, but I can't pick it up until nine o'clock." Then they told me a car rental contract number to remember. I took my driver's license and credit card when I picked up the car. Tell them the rental contract number and I can pick up the car. When I went to pick up the car at night, I said the contract number, looked at the driver's license and wrote down the credit card number. Then they gave me the car keys and said that the car was parked in parking space 86. I went to No.86 parking space in the parking lot, but it was a Ford Crown Victoria with an eight-cylinder engine. I turned back to the car rental office and said that I rented a mini car, not a luxury car. They said that tomorrow would be a long weekend, and all the cars were rented out, leaving only a few limousines. You can drive at the contract price. God, I took a big advantage! I drove along expressway 75 from south to north to Niagara Falls. Then return to Miami from north to south along 9 1 expressway. The car rental fee only cost more than 200 yuan!
