Can I hire a senior travel companion?
Yes, absolutely. If you are retired and you want a friend to travel with you, hiring someone that has experience with seniors is a good idea for your adventures. That is especially true if you have a medical condition because safety is important.
When you travel to a new destination and aren't familiar with the local culture, having a senior travel companion will ensure that you don't connect with the wrong crowd. Sometimes if you travel to an unfamiliar location, it can be safe by day; but at night could be a different story.
Having people with you that have your best interest in mind will virtually guarantee that you will love your trip and not have a bad experience. Don't make the mistake of by going around the world alone. Be responsible and be sure you hire the right people to do a search.
