travmedia.com: "When it comes to travel, 50 is the new 30. More older people than ever before are spending their retirement travelling the world, inspired by the gap-year travels of their kids and grandkids, and funded by increasing equity in their houses, according to internet travel insurer Staysure.co.uk.

Half of the UK’s over 50’s - that’s 10 million people - plan to travel extensively during their retirement...With over 350,000 pensioners trying an adventure activity last year, far from being ready to file away their passports and swap their suitcases for a pipe and slippers, older Britons are proud of their age, and are keen to broaden their horizons even further."
