Many people over the age of 40 want to travel to places that offer a real sense of adventure and this guide to exotic trips tells of the varied experiences out there for the taking.

The free-wandering '60's are long gone, you sold your backpack years ago, raised a family, enjoyed a fruitful career. Finally, it's time to indulge your wanderlust and rediscover the incredible fun and excitement of travelling off the beaten path.

This book offers dozens of travel options with the more mature traveller in mind. Both an inspiring collection of experiences and a practical how-to guide, the book details 50 of the world's best adventures for people over 40. In-depth narratives convey the rich alllure of 25 destinations - with first-person descriptions, lively anecdotes, and subjects of special interest - while concise third-person descriptions highlight the remaining 25 amazing adventures. Both formats show whey the experts chose each locale and lay out all the wheres, whys and hows you need to pick the trips most suited to your time and interests.

The most active possibilities include eight days in interior Antarctica, hiking Peru's Inca Trail and canoeing the lush backwaters of India. For those with more spirit than stamina, irresistable adventures still beckon; explore history, culture and scenery in Tunisa.. visit the jungle tribes of Papua New Guinea, tour Scotland's rugged Outer Hebrides for a taste of island life.

It's all about inspiration, and this book has lots of it.
