This week is a special one for food lovers, because on Friday 16th, the world comes together to mark World Food Day. The United Nations’ theme this year is “Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future”, a reminder that food connects us: our health, our planet, our sense of culture and belonging.
We often reach a point where we crave more than just a holiday—we seek experiences that enrich us, challenge us, and maybe even redefine who we are. This is where an adult learning vacation comes in. Whether it’s mastering a new language, learning to sail, or finally tackling that yoga teacher training, these experiences offer a chance to step outside of your comfort zone, develop new skills, and reconnect with yourself in a meaningful way.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
While I am off on my Camino de Santiago adventure, I thought I’d share a little story with you before I return next week with all the details of how I got on.
And so, it’s done! My training for the Camino de Santiago is complete. This last week, I have walked 60kms. Over the last month it’s over 150km. I have felt myself getting fitter and stronger with each step I take. I’m ready and up for the challenge.
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?
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.
