Buen Camino!
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.

These boots were made for walking!
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 I’m off…
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.
One step at a time…
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?
And so it begins…
Happy Easter and I hope you are having a well-earned break enjoying time with your loved ones and gorging on chocolate!
Hot Off The Press…
This has been a good week!
After I wrote to you last week about my on again/off again article in the Mail on Sunday newspaper, I am pleased to report that it was finally published yesterday. The article looked great and it feels like a real honour to be featured.
Is it… or isn’t it?
Last week I mentioned that I would be featured in the Mail on Sunday newspaper (only important if you are in the UK). It is a HUGE deal for me to be in another big publication and I was thrilled to be offered the opportunity. I was told by the journalist that it would be coming out on 16th March. I broadcast it among my friends and family (and here last week) so they would be as excited as me and braced to dash to the newsagents first thing that Sunday 😉.
Mum, I’m going to Africa!
It can’t have escaped you that last week was International Women’s Day. Well, one day of the week was but it seems to expand every year. In the UK, yesterday it was also Mother’s Day. As I never had children, I haven’t celebrated Mother’s Day properly since 1999, the year I lost my wonderful Mum.
I made it!
Last week I wrote to you about my exploits while hiring a car in Gran Canaria, the Canary Islands. If you have been holding your breath for seven days wondering what happened, the good news is that we returned the vehicle safe and sound and without any extra scratches. It was a huge relief to know that I was being refunded my €1000. If you missed the whole saga and my top tips for car hire on your travels, then hit reply and I’ll resend you all the details.
You want HOW MUCH?!?!
This week I have been in the Canary islands. Gran Canaria to be exact. Unfortunately, my first few days have been marred somewhat by my experiences with hiring a car, so I thought I’d share.
Hi I'm SUE!
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.
