Travelling on a budget doesn’t mean sacrificing life-changing experiences. For any woman looking to explore the world in a meaningful way, smart budgeting can allow for longer trips, deeper cultural connections, and even a little indulgence when needed. Here’s how to save for travel and stretch your budget while on the road, ensuring a truly transformative adventure.
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.
Throughout the years, it has been a privilege to have the opportunity to get up close and personal with many animals in the wild. In the process I have been attacked by lions, bitten by meerkats, mesmerised by sea turtles, spat at by marine iguanas, run over by penguins, manhandled by baboons and hypnotised by mountain gorillas!

If you’re ready to take that leap but don’t know where to start, this guide is for you. Let’s explore the factors and strategies to help you find your perfect WHERE.
As a single solo traveller in my forties and fifties, I have to say that romance and everything to do with Valentines Day was never something I engaged in. OK, at times I avoided all mention of it! However, that’s not to say I didn’t have any romantic liaisons on my adventures. I did and if that’s something you are looking for, I am here to share a little advise for you.
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?
As women in midlife, we often find ourselves yearning for adventure, for something new and exciting to break free from the routines of everyday life. If you’ve always wanted to travel but don’t know where to start, creating a Bucket List can be the perfect way to turn those vague aspirations into concrete plans. A Bucket List isn’t just a catalogue of dreams; it’s a roadmap that can guide you toward a more fulfilled and adventurous life.
For many of us, travel can be so much more than an escape from the everyday or a chance to tick off bucket-list destinations. It can be a profound opportunity for transformation, self-discovery, and renewal. But to fully embrace this potential, it’s essential to identify your WHY for travel.
A day earlier than usual I am just popping into your Inbox to wish you a Happy Christmas and a very adventurous New Year, however and whether you celebrate the season!
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.
