INSPIRATION FOR WOMEN TRAVELLING ALONE
This week is a special one for food lovers, because on Friday 16th, the world comes together to mark World Food Day. The United Nations’ theme this year is “Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future”, a reminder that food connects us: our health, our planet, our sense of culture and belonging.
Travel is one of the most powerful ways to rediscover yourself, especially in midlife. Whether you’re embracing solo adventures for the first time or seeking deeper, more meaningful experiences, the way you travel can shape your journey. One of the biggest questions you might face is: Should you join a group tour or plan an independent adventure?
We often reach a point where we crave more than just a holiday—we seek experiences that enrich us, challenge us, and maybe even redefine who we are. This is where an adult learning vacation comes in. Whether it’s mastering a new language, learning to sail, or finally tackling that yoga teacher training, these experiences offer a chance to step outside of your comfort zone, develop new skills, and reconnect with yourself in a meaningful way.
If you’re ready to take that leap but don’t know where to start, this guide is for you. Let’s explore the factors and strategies to help you find your perfect WHERE.
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?
Happy World Food Day! 🌍 (for tomorrow that is!). And yes, you’re right, I am a little obsessed with food lately! Last week I shared my top tips for dining alone (if you missed it, hit reply and I’ll resend it to you).
Did you see the Northern Lights last week? For the first time ever (in my non-scientific assessment), they were clearly visible in the south of the UK where I live.
So, finally I am back in the real world after my Camino de Santiago adventure, and it already seems like it was over too quick. I am missing the walking and already have plans to take on another route, for longer in the future.
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.
