INSPIRATION FOR WOMEN TRAVELLING ALONE
Last year, I took my first steps on the Camino de Santiago—100 kilometres along the Portuguese route, from Vigo to Santiago. It was just one week, but it left a lasting impression. I walked it with my partner, Larry, and the experience was so powerful, so quietly transformational, we knew we had to return.
Earth Day, celebrated each year today, on April 22nd, isn’t just about protecting the planet—it’s also a perfect moment to reconnect with the natural world and, just as importantly, with yourself. For many of us in midlife, this season of life often brings a stirring call to reevaluate, rediscover, and realign with what truly matters. And there’s no better place to do that than immersed in nature.
As the blossoms of spring begin to bloom and the days stretch just a little bit longer, Easter arrives with an optimistic promise: renewal. For many women in midlife, this season stirs something deeper—a desire for a fresh start, a chance to reconnect with themselves, and a call to explore the world with new purpose. Easter isn’t just a time for chocolate eggs and family brunches—it can be the perfect opportunity to embark on a journey that awakens your soul.
Do you ever dream of travelling solo but find yourself held back by fears and doubts? We all carry limiting beliefs that could stop us from taking the leap into transformative travel experiences. But the truth is, these fears are just stories we’ve been told—or told ourselves. It’s time to break free!
A day earlier than usual I am just popping into your Inbox to wish you a Happy Christmas and a very adventurous New Year, however and whether you celebrate the season!
Apologies for the lack of ceremony but last week I changed my weekly email day. From now on you can expect to hear from me on a Tuesday instead of a Monday.
So, the Camino de Santiago is done, and it was amazing! I got back after midnight last Thursday morning and feeling the exhaustion still, so I’m keeping this short.
While I am off on my Camino de Santiago adventure, I thought I’d share a little story with you before I return next week with all the details of how I got on.
And so, it’s done! My training for the Camino de Santiago is complete. This last week, I have walked 60kms. Over the last month it’s over 150km. I have felt myself getting fitter and stronger with each step I take. I’m ready and up for the challenge.
Have you ever felt stuck in life? Like there are more experiences you need to have or places you’ve never been but feel drawn to?
