If you’ve been here a while, you’ll know what an advocate I am for solo travel. 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. But lately, life has changed. I recently remarried, and with my husband newly retired, solo trips may become less frequent. Naturally, I’ve had questions: Will I still travel alone? Will my solo travel advice still be relevant?

There’s a moment many of us reach in midlife. A quiet whisper that asks:
Is this it?
We’ve been the caregivers, the professionals, the reliable ones. But beneath it all, there’s a part of us that’s still curious. Still hungry for joy, adventure, meaning.
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?
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.
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!
International Women’s Day (8th March) is more than just a date on the calendar—it’s a global celebration of the strength, resilience, and achievements of women everywhere. If you’re a woman in midlife craving a meaningful and transformative travel experience, this is the perfect time to explore destinations where women are celebrated, uplift other women through your travels, and embrace your own journey of self-discovery.
I aim to inspire women in mid-life to embrace the power of solo travel. I have been a passionate traveller for more than 30 years having visited over 80 countries across 6 continents. Here I share my travel tales, tips & recommendations to help you rediscover yourself while exploring the world. I’d love for you to join me on the journey.
Lets find YOUR next adventure!
