Today, ten years ago I heard that immortal line that nobody wants to hear when their loved one is in surgery.
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.
How are your plans for the Christmas break shaping up? Christmas for me usually means spending time with family, but this is not without its challenges, bearing in mind we live at opposite ends of the world (they are in Australia).
Can you believe we are nearly at the end of November? Where has this year gone?
And more importantly, what are your plans for 2025? Do they involve travel? If so, I am here to help you make it really happen in 2025.
Last week I sent you some of my top tips for how to get the best travel deals during Black Friday and Cyber Monday (if you missed it, hit reply now and I’ll resend you all the details). So, now you know how to tackle the sales, I thought I’d take this week to give you my inspiration on what to buy.
This week I had the first email which contained offers available now under the Black Friday banner. And what’s great, is that the company offering some fab (up to 30%) discounts is my favourite tour operator, G Adventures. I have done several tours with them, most notably an epic Bucket List visit to the Galapagos Islands (hence the photo), a 3-week tour of Peru & a fantastic trip around the highlights of Costa Rica.
I am now back from my latest adventure and can report that road tripping around Namibia, while sleeping in a roof tent was an incredible experience! The country’s vast landscapes, wildlife, and starry skies made for a truly unique camping experience.
With Halloween around the corner (had you noticed?! 😉👻), I thought I would jump on the bandwagon this week to introduce a few spooky places to visit on your travels…or travel to for the day itself.
The Caribbean has been home to some of my most memorable travel experiences, the start of some important friendships and will always hold a very fond place in my heart.

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.
