There’s a moment many of us reach in midlife. A quiet whisper that asks:
Is this it?
We’ve been the caregivers, the professionals, the reliable ones. But beneath it all, there’s a part of us that’s still curious. Still hungry for joy, adventure, meaning.
Earth Day, celebrated each year today, on April 22nd, isn’t just about protecting the planet—it’s also a perfect moment to reconnect with the natural world and, just as importantly, with yourself. For many of us in midlife, this season of life often brings a stirring call to reevaluate, rediscover, and realign with what truly matters. And there’s no better place to do that than immersed in nature.
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.
