At 95 years old, backpacker Keith Wright isn’t showing signs of slowing down. The native Australian only started traveling solo 10 years ago. Much like a cash-strapped college student, Wright does the full backpacking experience–hosteling included.

This summer, Wright will travel all over Europe for two months by train, bus and ferry. He’s planning to make a special trip to London to see his favorite racehorse, Black Caviar, race in the Royal Ascot.

My belief is that if you are fit and able to travel independently, it is the best way to see as much of the world as you want.
