3. Buellton, California
Another super-duper destination to which traveling on a budget as a senior is possible is Buellton located in California. Who loves wine tasting? I certainly do! Especially if it’s affordable too.
At Industrial Way, a neighborhood of former industrial buildings now repurposed as restaurants and tasting rooms, visitors to Buellton may experience many wineries without leaving the town. Isn’t that awesome?
In between sips, I kindly recommend you explore Buellton’s unique sightseeing; one of them is OstrichLand USA, where the admission fee is just $7. Here, you can feed the birds, and trust me when I say it’s very fun.
Traveling on a budget as a senior is also possible in Buellton because even the hotels are affordable here. For example, the recently opened Hotel Hygge, which takes its name from the Danish word for “cozy,” promotes mingling between visitors.
Oh! And I almost forgot about the Vega Vineyard and Farm, a place that has goats and sheep that you, as a visitor, can feed. Here, you can also experience live music in the gardens and wine tastings starting at $25.

all liberal states no thank you
I’m 74, living on a military retirement, and social security. After taxes, Medicare, rent, utilities, and groceries, we barely have enough to go across the street.
We aren’t the only ones in our situation. Our budget is tight and we’ve had to cut most of our budget.
So unless you were pretty well off before retirement there is no way to enjoy these things.
Who in the world would want to go to any of those places?!?!
