Retirees are traveling in great numbers, with the average American adult taking 3.9 trips per year, according to AARP. On the downside, total travel costs were, on average, $6,800 over a year’s worth of trips. That’s a budget-stretching number for most retirees living on a fixed income.
One way to travel more and have the cash to pay the freight is through gig work, much of which can be handled before, during or after trips in the United States or abroad.
