Fire, Ice and Demons!
Last week my demons came knocking. It was emotional. My partner, Larry has been suffering from excruciating sciatic (back) pain from long before we met and after trying everything, went in for surgery on Monday.

We all need a Kate!
Picture the scene. It’s 1992. I am a slightly naïve and shambolic 22-year-old British girl with huge travel ambitions. I had been working two jobs to gather the money for a “big trip” but had no idea where to, until I wandered into a travel agent who asked if I wanted to speak with their Africa expert.
Old Friends, New Perspective
So, last weekend I was in Northern Ireland catching up with friends who I first met 36 years ago. We haven’t been together for a decade, but the years melted away as soon as we saw each other, like it was 10 days, not years!
Friends like these…
This week I am off to Northern Ireland for a reunion with some very old friends. Not in terms of age (she says, playing hers down! 😉), but we met in the first week of university back in 1987 and have seen many marriages, births and unfortunately a few deaths throughout the group since. Needless to say, we have a lot of catching up to do!
I’m finally doing it!
I’ve spent the last few weeks busying myself away writing the course I’ve been talking about for ages. Months. Maybe even (embarrassingly) years!
Just say ‘Yes’!
A few weeks ago, I wrote about how travel can change your life (if you missed it, hit reply and I’ll send it again). From broadening your perspective to enhancing your self-confidence and creativity. But the change can only be achieved by engaging in purposeful, mindful, and immersive travel experiences. By setting clear intentions, you can achieve personal growth and create lasting, positive changes in your life.
Well, that was unexpected! And is there more to Madeira than cake and wine?
Did you miss me? Last week I took a break from your Inbox, as I was away in Madeira. I usually make sure I continue to send my weekly email, no matter where I am, so this was quite a big thing for me. But before I explain why, if you haven’t been, let me tell you a little about Madeira.
How can travel change your life?
Apologies for the lack of ceremony but last week I changed my weekly email day. From now on you can expect to hear from me on a Tuesday instead of a Monday.
Are you in?
Back in 2018, my neighbours came to me with a question. It began with:
“You know how you’re never here…?”
Dancing on the edge of your Comfort Zone
When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone? Did you dive in? Or just dance around the edge?
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.
