If you believe that you won’t be able to travel when you’re old… this Ah Ma is going to convince you otherwise.

The video, brought to you by AirAsia and Visit Victoria, shows how a grandmother went on an adventure of her own with her grandchildren in Melbourne, Australia. She managed to prove them wrong when they thought she was—that’s right— too old to travel!

Let’s take a look at some of the things she did—you can use this in your itinerary for your future trip:  

#1 Learning to surf in Torquay

If camping’s not really your thing, opt to go glamping instead! Pebble Point is a great spot to do this, as there are spacious safari tents that you can stay in at a small coastal village called Princetown.
