INSPIRATION FOR WOMEN TRAVELLING ALONE
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.
Throughout the years, it has been a privilege to have the opportunity to get up close and personal with many animals in the wild. In the process I have been attacked by lions, bitten by meerkats, mesmerised by sea turtles, spat at by marine iguanas, run over by penguins, manhandled by baboons and hypnotised by mountain gorillas!
