Where will you travel to this year?

Social connection and lifelong learning are two important pillars of living a healthy lifestyle. Guided travel is a great way to enrich your life with new friendships while expanding your knowledge of the world.

The Province of B.C. maintains that by building strong social connections, you are more likely to “eat well, participate in physical activity and feel good about yourself.” Equally as important as keeping our bodies active is keeping our minds active. Lifelong learning means that we continue to develop our skills and expand our knowledge throughout our lifetimes. Not only do we exercise our memory, we consider new perspectives, share ideas and ultimately live fuller lives.

Guided travel expands both your knowledge and social network in a safe, stress-free and fun environment. With group travel, individual travellers get to know each other quickly and on a deeper level as they are challenged to experience new cultures, cuisines and landscapes together.

Mile Zero Tours’ David Rose outlines the benefits of guided travel: “Travel broadens the mind and gives each of us a different perspective on life. With guided travel, all the details are taken care of, so travellers can focus on truly understanding the destination.”
