Groups for Seniors

As a full time RVer I found myself landlocked this winter. Usually we spend six month of the year in Florida. However, this year my wife and I both had medical issues that had to be looked after before making any travel plans.

As someone who like to be busy, I looked for some local groups for seniors and was amazed to find absolutely none. Not being one to accept defeat so easy, I decided why not start a group. There has to be other seniors who like a reason to get out of the house on a regular basis. Even if it’s just to meet for coffee and chat, maybe take a caravan drive to another city or town near Hamilton for a day trip.

I have a number of interests. I enjoy gourmet cooking, photography and I’m a avid flight simulator pilot with a few thousand hours of flight time.

If there are other out there that would like to just meetup for a coffee and get a group growing, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

Best regards,

Mike Buchanan

@user_not_found - Welcome to the Local Guides Program and Local Guides Connect!

Yes, there are seniors here on Connect. I can think of two who fit your description:

I also recommend you introduce yourself over in the monthly Introduce Yourself February 2020 thread and state what you just wrote here.

Cheers,

Thank you for the info but it doesn’t help to address the need in Hamilton, Ontario. I am affiliated with numerous RV groups and own a group myself.

@user_not_found Hello Mike. I totally understand your frustration in finding local guides… especially for those who travel full time and never stay in the same location for more than a month. I’m trying to solve this problem by working with others on building a US Local Guides community. I try to highlight daily US Connect posts on the Local Guides USA Facebook group. Maybe you can do the same for Canada? There are a number of Local Guide groups on FB and you may be able to find some local guides in your area there as well?

Let me know if I can help you at all :slightly_smiling_face:
