All aboard for the fountain of youth

-

One of the most fun and effective ways to embrace life and maintain your youth is by doing the things you’ve always wanted to do, including travel. Adventures keep you young and give you incredible stories and memories to share with friends and family. Locally owned and operated Mile Zero Tours embraces the idea that travel keeps you young. Here’s why:

Travel keeps you mentally fit. Travel is one of the most enjoyable ways to exercise and challenge your brain. Take advantage of the freedom to learn and experience new things. Revitalize your brain with exposure to new people, art, culture, food, politics, history, religion… and did we mention food?

Travel keeps you physically fit. Your brain’s not the only thing that needs working out. Staying physically active – even just in small doses – is key to a long and healthy life. Whether you’re exploring ancient and enormous trees in Cathedral Grove, panning for gold in the Klondike or dipping your toes in the Arctic Ocean, traveling never seems like exercise. From carrying your suitcase into your oceanview accommodat­ion to participat­ing in a guided tour of Tuktoyaktu­k, travel gets you moving in fun ways you never imagined.

Travel introduces you to new people. It’s been shown that people with friends live longer than those without. The problem is – the older you get, the tougher it is to meet new people. Problem solved when you travel as part of a guided tour with other like-minded travelers. Travel gives you something to look forward to. Sometimes, it feels like the best years of your life are behind you. You’ve found career success, raised a family and done whatever it is you set out to accomplish. Travel gives you a renewed sense of purpose and excitement. Imagine the anticipati­on of being the only one in your family to visit the Arctic Circle! You discover a new kind of enlightenm­ent and joy. From the mesmerizin­g top-of-the world highway to the beaches of Tofino, travel experience­s and places provide you with extra peace and solitude. When we relax and focus on ourselves, we can let go of stress. Leaving our comfort zone and trying new things brings a personal enlightenm­ent and joy. It’s the kind of carefree joy that happens when we realize that the world is big and life is beautiful. When you travel, you can experience and learn new things at any age. Tackle your bucket-list or take a quick escape: Mile Zero Tours has you covered. Consider their August 27 Yukon & the Northwest Territorie­s tour, and October 26 Escape to Tofino get-away.
