Getting away doesn’t have to be expensive, complicated or exhausting. The travel section of Glow Up At 50 is about realistic, affordable escapes that support rest, movement and wellbeing — especially at this stage of life.

Here, travel is approached thoughtfully. It’s about finding off-season breaks, quieter destinations and better value stays that allow you to slow down, enjoy the sunshine, and spend time walking, resting and resetting. With a bit of flexibility and planning, getting away can be far more accessible than it first appears.

This section shares ideas, destinations and practical tips for travelling well after 50 — from budget-friendly trips and cheaper times to travel, to places that are ideal for gentle walks, warm weather and proper relaxation. It’s about stepping away from everyday routines, even briefly, and returning home feeling refreshed rather than worn out.
