The words weren’t shouted, they were gentle and kind, which made it worse really…’You wouldn’t manage Machu Picchu. Its too much walking. maybe one day, but not now’.
Those words, delivered to me at the grand old age of 45, changed my life. Not immediately, but they were the catalyst for my journey to find out who I really was, what I wanted from my life and why.
This is a space for women who feel the pull of something bigger. I am documenting my travels here — the wins, the wobbles, the wrong turns and the breathtaking moments — but this is more than a diary. It’s a companion for women ready to travel solo, to question old patterns, and to step beyond the roles that once defined them. Here you’ll find honest stories, practical strategies, planning tools, courage-building advice, and real-life lessons from the road. This is about becoming braver, freer, and more yourself — one journey, one decision, one departure at a time.
