What’s your Travel Style?
I am still knee-deep in writing my new course which I am hoping to start recoding this week. It’s so exciting to be finally at the point of getting it out there.

Solo Travel – Is it for you?
For the last 10 years I have been part of a team organising a charity walk to help raise money for charity. Usually, I oversee the walkers as they set off and return, co-ordinating everything on the day. Hard work though it is, it is an environment I thrive in. Especially the “hosting” aspect of the event.
A walk on the wild side in Namibia
This week I’ve started to think about my upcoming trip, back to Namibia next month. It’s an exciting prospect for many reasons.
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!
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.
Are you in?
Back in 2018, my neighbours came to me with a question. It began with:
“You know how you’re never here…?”
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.
