A retiree is solo travelling the world in her 70s and planned a trip across India herself saving nearly £2k on a package trip – as she refuses to be "old and lonely".

She plans to visit Turkey later this year and still has ambitions to travel further afield - with a trip to Australia with her son and a trip around Europe on her wish list.
