Do you know your WHY?
I have always been a traveller, but my adventures took on a whole new meaning when I lost my husband, Terry.

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.
And so, it’s done! My training for the Camino de Santiago is complete. This last week, I have walked 60kms. Over the last month it’s over 150km. I have felt myself getting fitter and stronger with each step I take. I’m ready and up for the challenge.
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 Easter and I hope you are having a well-earned break enjoying time with your loved ones and gorging on chocolate!
The exact definition is “a number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime”. The bucket in question refers to before you “kick the bucket”…or things to do before you die.
Last week I attended the Destinations: Travel and Adventure Show in London. It was my second year and once again, I went in search of inspiration, new companies, ideas, and destinations that piqued my interest.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet, for women in midlife who feel the pull to explore — not just the world, but themselves.
I’ve been travelling for over 30 years, through seasons of joy, grief, reinvention and becoming. Travel didn’t just show me new places — it helped me find my way back to myself.
Here I share honest travel stories and reflections on courage, change and second acts.
You don’t need to be brave yet. You’re welcome exactly as you are.
Try: courage, walking, grief, becoming, solo.

I don’t accept guest posts or generic collaborations, and I only share places and stories I genuinely trust.
