Boomers, You Can Do It! Part 4
"Not only can you travel independently to Europe, but you can do it much more cheaply and easily than you thought possible."
I always hope that sentence will galvanize my listener into action so that he'll race to buy my book,
Europe on a Dime: Five-Star Travel on a One-Star Budget, and
start planning a trip. After all, the book holds your hand,
step-by-step, so you can plan a European experience that is easy on the
budget. Truly,
Europe on a Dime practically makes the reservations for you!
But
no matter how sincerely I promise to walk people through the process,
it's never quite that easy to convince them. No matter how tantalizing
the thought of traipsing down the Champs d'Elysee or cruising the canals
of Venice, there's usually a "yes, but...." counter to my promise of
cheap and meaningful travel.
So, it's time to face
those "yes, buts...." in the next few blog posts. We're going to take a
look at the fears which keep people rooted to their La-Z-Boy recliners
when they could be sauntering down exotic cobblestone alleys instead.
We'll confront the objections head-on in hopes that everyone will soon
feel confident enough to plan a European trip.
We've dealt with most of the fears in previous posts, but there is one more fear, more of a niggling doubt really, that holds people back even though they are reluctant to admit it. People worry that traveling independently, without a guide/interpreter, means that they'll be wandering the streets mumbling incoherently in a futile attempt to communicate. Nothing could be further from the truth.
