A man described as the “world’s oldest backpacker” is poised to embark on his latest globe-trotting trip – at the age of 95.
Keith Wright,95 a pensioner from Queensland in Australia, will fly out to Europe on July 28, his eighth backpacking trip since he started travelling solo at the age of 85.
His first trip was a bus journey through Turkey. Since then, he has travelled the world on a strict budget, saving up money throughout the year for flights and hostel accommodation.
