Enjoy those senior travels by helping to repair housing in Africa, clearing a beachfront in Asia or many interesting ways to make your visit meaningful. The trips are not free, but they’ll reward you in other ways.

Many U.S. and international opportunities are always available. Consider some offers from REI Adventures, American Hiking Society, Discover Corps, Global Volunteers, Earth Watch and many others. After your next volunteer vacation, you may go home tired, but with the satisfaction that you’ve helped people to better lives.

Book an inexpensive night or more in a hostel, to have informal chats among the bunks with those who can learn from you, a seasoned wanderer. They benefit from your travel and worldly knowledge, as well as feel free to ask questions. Then, when you’re on your way in the morning, you’ll be satisfied that you’ve passed on some of your mature thoughts and helpful suggestions to those who can profit from them.

There are Nintendo Switch On The Go pop-up lounges at select U.S. airports, including Dulles, Tacoma, O’Hare and Dallas Love Field. www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/02/13/nintendo-opens-game-lounges-at-us-airports\
