The Surprising Truth Experienced Travelers Know

For some people, worries about crime and terrorism are enough to rule out travel outside the U.S. And that's a shame, says internationally acclaimed travel expert Chris Herrmann and author of The Youthful Art of Midlife Travel. Chris points out that when it comes to being fearful, many folks are their own worst enemy.

After suddenly losing his wife to cancer, a grandfather of seven, Chris left his home and family in Australia and embarked on an unlikely and at times hilarious 365-day solo backpacking adventure around the world. Chris set out to live every day as an unknown adventure. He wasn’t trying to escape from life or to find himself. Instead he wanted to be free to explore and escape the normal routines and expectations of life.

While some saw his trip as crazy, he embraced it as a way to challenge himself. To push himself out of his comfort zone. He left with no purpose, other than to take each day as it came and be open to opportunities. One project he initiated has benefited charities worldwide.

Chris’s story has been covered by the BBC and by numerous TV, radio, print and online media across Australia, Europe, USA and Asia. During his journey, he was inspired by the confidence of many young travelers he met along the way.

His vision is to inspire and empower other Baby Boomers with the knowledge and skills to live their travel adventures. To discover it can be cheaper to travel than to stay at home, Why you should  never plan a trip in advance, which countries are bargains, plus ways to safely meet people overseas and how to avoid the common mistakes and traps of travel.
