Introduction - What to Look for in Walking Canes.

What are the best canes for travellers or the best walking canes for seniors does not have to be mutually exclusive.

There are many different types of walking canes on the market, and it can be difficult to decide which one is right for you. In this article, we will discuss the different types of walking canes and their benefits, as well as some tips on how to choose the right cane for your needs.

When you find a cane to try, I would recommend you get it early and use it when you are out training for your trip. 

What to look for in Walking Canes

On my recent trips to Halifax and St John’s, I found that a walking cane would have been very useful. But not all of the time.  I bought a collapsible cane – not on this list – because it broke just before returning home. That said I found it helpful on large hills. Then fold it up and put it in my backpack.   

Hence first option to consider is a collapsible cane, which can easily be packed in luggage or a carry-on bag. Another option is an adjustable cane, which allows the user to change the height of the cane for their comfort and convenience. Make sure to test it out and make sure it is sturdy.

Some walking canes also have added features such as LED lights or a seat for resting. Ultimately, it is important to choose a cane that is comfortable and stable, as well as fits your personal style and needs

When traveling, it is also important to consider the weight of the cane and whether or not it can handle rough terrain. It may be helpful to consult with a physical therapist or doctor before purchasing a cane to ensure it meets your specific needs.

Al of Al Murray Travel & Photography:  From the time in my youth, when I would lay on our garage roof watching planes traverse the skies above me, I knew I wanted to see the world. 

My passion grew after spending a semester of my university days in Barcelona.  I spent more time on trains and buses than I did in class.  

After earning my BA from Carleton University, life got in the way.  But I did find time to graduate again from George Brown in Fitness and Lifestyle Management and then work my way through most of a degree in Sports Administration. However I needed to find work and pay for all this education! 

It wasn’t until my “middle age” did I start exploring the world again.  First, transversing the US and Canada to take part in tennis tournaments. Then later to complete my spectator “grand slam” of tennis.  

I accomplished this while earning my certificate in photography from Toronto Metropolitan University.  I am now combining the two passions and now sharing with you my many lessons learned.
