Not some scientific study, just some speculation by the author who cites polls.
Of course many here FIREd in order to travel while they were still young enough to sustain more demanding travel. Hustling through airports is probably not a positive aspect of travel.
And traveling to visit relatives and friend may also not be something that people want necessarily. I'd rather stay in a hotel for instance, than stay in someone's spare room.
It would be interesting to see if people who retire early, say at least 5 years before they're eligible to collect social security, are healthier than those who retire at the usual age of retirement.
Do early retirees travel more? One would think, since one of the benefits of retirement is more time and flexibility for such pursuits.
