Slow Travel in Europe After 60
Unhurried Journeys, Longer Stays & the Freedom to Enjoy Every Moment

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Slow Travel in Europe After 60 is written for those who finally have the one thing their working years never gave them: time. Instead of ten countries in two weeks, you choose a base, stay a week, a month or a whole season, and unpack once. You take the train to the next town when you feel like it and stay put when you don't. Many travelers find that a month in a small European town costs about the same as two weeks of hotel-hopping.

You'll learn how to:

• Rent a furnished apartment by the month, where the monthly rate can work out at half the nightly price, and use the senior rail cards sold in France and Germany
• Cover what Medicare won't, since Original Medicare generally doesn't pay for care outside the US, and pack your prescription medicines the right way
• Stay longer legally, with the Schengen 90-day rule walked through step by step, plus ETIAS, the new entry system and long-stay visas
• Pick your season, from spring in Seville to a winter in the Algarve, where January days often reach the sixties and monthly rents drop
• Pack one light bag for a month, beat jet lag, and get around by train, ferry and local bus without wearing yourself out

Then Jonathan takes you to eight parts of Europe that suit a slower pace: Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, the Rhine and the Alps, the Netherlands and Belgium, Croatia and Slovenia, and Greece. Each comes with a sample slow week, such as walking the town walls of Lucca in May, riding the boat past the Lorelei rock from Bacharach during the September grape harvest, or being rowed out to the island church on Lake Bled.

Bonus sections include -
• A frank look at moving abroad
• Three sample itineraries
• Useful phrases in six languages
• Twelve easy places beyond Europe
• A slow travel checklist

Every chapter ends with Slow Travel Tips: three or four practical ideas you can use straight away.
