Travel blog for new adventurers
Welcome to my travel blog, where adventure has no age limit! I’m a woman in my 50s who, after a recent divorce, swapped “what-ifs” for plane tickets and a brand-new passport stamp collection. With a heart wide open and a backpack with all the essentials , I’m embracing the thrill of worldwide travel, unexpected detours, and the pure joy of discovering places (and parts of myself) I never knew existed. Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or just starting your own journey, I hope my stories inspire you to take that leap—because life’s too short to stay in one place!
I never thought I’d be the kind of woman to throw a backpack over my shoulder and set off into the unknown, but here I am—50-something and wandering the world on a budget. No five-star resorts, no luxury cruises—just me, my amazing boyfriend (and free tourist guide 😊), a pair of well-worn hiking sandals, and a thirst for adventure that I never knew I had. Turns out, the world is far more magical when you swap room service for street food and infinity pools for hidden waterfalls.
Embark on a journey of discovery and adventure.
Travelling like this isn’t just about seeing new places; it’s about rediscovering myself. After years of routines and responsibilities, I finally have the freedom to ask, “What do I want?” And right now, the answer is everything. I want to drink beer on a bustling street corner in Chiang Mai, get lost in the back streets of a Malaysian village, and feel the sand between my toes on beaches I can’t even pronounce. Every step I take is a lesson, every new face a story, and every wrong turn a reminder that the best moments in life aren’t always planned.
When I am not travelling or in the UK, I spend my time in the stunning Algarve – my happy place.

On my bucket list was a trip to Thailand and it didn’t disappoint. The Festival of Lanterns was magical.

One of my favourite cities in South East Asia is Kuala Lumpur due to its vibrancy and cultural diversity

If you think travel has an age limit, think again. The road is waiting, and it doesn’t care how many birthdays you’ve had. Whether you’re dreaming of your first trip or just need a little nudge to shake up your routine, I hope my journey inspires you to take that leap. Because if I can do it—with a backpack, a budget, and a heart wide open—you can too.
