Hi there! Welcome to my Travel Blog: Inspiring Adventures for Solo Travelers Over 50!

​

I’m a proud mum, lifelong nurse, animal lover, and passionate advocate for protecting our planet—especially our oceans. When I’m not writing or traveling, you’ll find me in my quirky little town nestled in the stunning Northern Rivers region of Australia. It’s a place so special, I’m certain many of you would know it!

​

I’m a water baby, a sunseeker, and an adventurer at heart. Give me anything outdoors, exciting, or new, and I’m in! Surfing, walking, and music fuel my soul, and while I’m a self-proclaimed mediocre cook and a halfhearted dancer, my zest for life more than makes up for it.

​

For as long as I can remember, I’ve dreamed of traveling the world—learning about different cultures, connecting with people, and experiencing life beyond the familiar. But, like many women, I put those dreams on hold for years, waiting for "the right time." When my family set out on their own life paths, I decided it was finally my turn. I faced my fears, stepped out of my comfort zone, and began a journey I’d only imagined before.

​

From teaching underprivileged Hmong children in Sapa, Vietnam, to cruising the Mekong Delta, and sharing unforgettable moments with majestic elephants in Sri Lanka, my solo travels have been a dream come true. Even the pandemic couldn’t stop me—I found myself “stranded in paradise” in a small Vietnamese village, holding tight to my dreams.

​

My blog is a place to share these incredible experiences with you—stories, tips, and lessons I’ve learned along the way. It’s my mission to show solo travelers over 50 that solo travel isn’t just possible—it’s safe, empowering, and life-changing. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or just starting to dream, I hope my tales inspire you to take that leap and live out your own adventures.

​

Why the Blog?

The pandemic gave us all a lot of time to reflect, and for me, it was a chance to appreciate the travels I’ve been blessed to experience and dream about what’s still to come. I created this blog to share my journey—past, present, and future—and to empower women like me to step out of their comfort zones and explore the world.

​

Solo travel isn’t just for the fearless; it’s for anyone willing to embrace the unknown, no matter their age or experience. Through my stories, I hope to plant a seed of inspiration, sparking your confidence to chase your travel dreams.

​

So, whether you’re ready to pack your bags or simply enjoy the thrill of my adventures from the comfort of home, I invite you to join me. Together, let’s prove that time, age, and fear are no barriers to living a life full of adventure.
