It?s been presumed that ?boomers? grew up in an age of privilege, were the healthiest and wealthiest generation of their time and considered themselves ?special? to the generations of those that had come before.? They grew up in a rising era of technology and medical accomplishments, have worked hard to provide for their families and vigilantly saved for the ?retirement years?.
Now as retirement approaches many are carefully evaluating life?s important decisions and are choosing options that will help them stay active and engaged with the world around them.? For many that means continuing to work, not only for added income, but also for growth and personal satisfaction while balancing what really matters in life, a sense of quality and purpose.
As many boomers believe that they will outlive previous generations, in addition to working longer, they are making plans to fulfill life time dreams, which includes exploring the world around them, seeking new experiences and realizing travel to faraway destinations.
One such tour guide is an Aboriginal man who takes out private and small groups to the Daintree rainforest for ancient bush cultural walks.? During the guided tour, cultural, botanical and wildlife information are related through the interpretation of the native guide.? Explorers spend the day learning about bush tucker, ancient artifacts and tools, play a didgeridoo, hunt and?gather local foods, such as mud crabs and snails, and even have the opportunity to spear a fish.? For many, these experiences are the highlight of their adventure and are the chance to interact with people from a world beyond their own?as well as create memories that last a lifetime.
