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.
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.
What if the next chapter of your life started with a suitcase and a one-way ticket?
You’ve spent decades showing up for others—raising a family, building a career, supporting a partner. And now… the house is quiet. The routines have shifted. Maybe your relationship ended, your job no longer fits, or you’ve simply woken up to a persistent whisper: Is this all there is?
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.
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!
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?
Have you been dreaming about exploring the world, but don’t know where to begin? For many women, the idea of travelling can be both exciting and a little overwhelming. But travel isn’t just about seeing new places. It’s also about self-discovery, stepping outside your comfort zone, and experiencing life in new ways.
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).
I am still knee-deep in writing my new course which I am hoping to start recoding this week. It’s so exciting to be finally at the point of getting it out there.
