Epic Treks Around the World: Transformative Journeys for Women in Midlife

There’s something about walking that has always spoken to me. Step after step, with nothing but my thoughts and the rhythm of my boots, life seems to find perspective. After losing my husband, I discovered that travel—particularly walking journeys—gave me space to heal, reflect, and rebuild.

For women in midlife, especially those navigating change, a long-distance trek can be so much more than just a holiday. It can be a chance to reconnect with yourself, embrace new challenges, and uncover strength you didn’t know you had.
