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.

I’ve written numerous blog posts sharing my experiences – the good, the bad, and the downright ugly – packed with advice for those who might be a little more reticent about setting off alone.

Will my solo travel advice still be relevant?

Sailing in Style: Cruising the Norwegian Fjords
There are few travel experiences as awe-inspiring as sailing through Norway’s fjords – except perhaps doing it aboard the legendary Queen Mary 2. As someone who once claimed I’d rather stick pins in my eyes than go on a cruise, I now find myself completely enchanted. Sailing through some of Norway’s most breathtaking landscapes on an ocean liner rich in heritage turned out to be the most magical way to spend my honeymoon.
