“I have had itchy feet all my life and had always wanted to go to Gallipoli on
Anzac Day, so I decided to sell our house and put the extra money towards a
holiday,” said Mr Wright, who is a veteran of the Second World War.
“I have seen things that most tourists haven’t seen, because I walk the back
streets and take trains or buses to nearby towns for the day.
“Most people I meet are surprised when I tell them my age and amazed that I
have come all the way from Australia.”
He booked his tickets through the Round the World Experts travel agency, who
have described Mr Wright as “the world’s oldest backpacker.”
“We put together plenty of …airfares for people who have retired…. Keith is
the oldest we’ve come across,” said Paul Bondsfield, who works for the
company.
