Summary

Traveling has this particular effect on us; the more we travel, we realize how much we didn't see, how much we won't see, and how much we want to see of the world. 


Joining me today is Monica Irauzqui, an expert in the travel industry and Vice President of Yampu Tours, a company that helps people discover the world since 1998. She educates us about the possibilities of traveling during the pandemic and how it affected her business and the industry. She shares some valuable tips about starting planning 2021 trips and adventures, the different alternatives for those who prefer to stay in the US and still travel, and the difference having a travel operator can make when we find ourselves in trouble far from home. 


Tune in to Episode 71 of Rejuvenaging, and listen to Monica's masterclass about traveling and enjoying discovering new places. 


Some Questions I Ask:

  • How is a travel person doing during the pandemic, and how has the business been? (3:55) 
  • What might people be doing to take short trips or day trips or things of that nature in their area? (5:41)
  • What are some of the hot places that people are visiting or planning to visit? (9:12)
  • Are there specific considerations that older adults who may be interested in traveling should look for or avoid? (14:20)
  • Can you explain the concept of giving back while traveling? (20:13)
  • Are there any countries that you recommend American travelers not to visit? (24:00)


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • The best places to visit during a pandemic (7:00)
  • Exploring new places through food (12:13)
  • What should older travelers avoid in their journeys (14:30)
  • How to keep ourselves active during travels (17:10)
  • Making a significant impact when traveling and helping locals (21:50)
  • What can a travel operator do for us if we meet trouble when we are visiting a foreign country (25:30)
