TIPS

1 PREPARE THEM IN ADVANCE: “Before travelling to a destination, show your parents videos and photographs of the places you plan to visit,” advises Tanayesh. “This helps them to understand what to expect, and also to finalise the things they want to do and create a wishlist. This will help you to plan the holiday better.”

Older travellers tend not to like surprises. Plot days breaks. And yet, as Lavina puts it, “it won’t ever go according to plan no matter how well you plan it and that’s okay! It’s important to not lose your calm! Have a few alternative options ready or keep space to explore the vicinity if required.”
