The emigrant daughter ... or parent – Psychologies magazine article I remember how upset my mum was when my sister left to emigrate to Aus(tralia) in the 70s. I was just 9 years old and I too was upset when I heard, and understood, and then when we said goodbye. Having daughters myself now, and …

Travel plans developing …
I have at last really got some idea when and where to travel to. I don't think I can do it all - and do it justice or properly, without rushing it - in one go. So the plans are developing. I think I want to do Asia and Latin America, Australia and Europe this …
I’m off!
Well, it's really happening! I'm off on my travels this year. I have sold my house, using the money to travel and experience the world, the cultures, the people - and me! I hear that travelling helps you grow quite quickly! Why? Because of the experiences you have on the road. People of course …
Moving on is scary …
Indeed it is and I think we all know this! Some times in our lives have led to change and we are not comfortable with it. Why not? The unknown, the lack of control, the losses and uncertainty, confusion, discomfort and upheavals both practically and emotionally all add to the 'dislike'. Few, if any, people …
My journey – still ongoing …
So, it's April since I last posted here! 8 months and still counting. 10 months since I made a decision, and realised openly I want to travel really - not just a dream! Today I read this and it has inspired me to hold on to my dream and continue to take the steps. …

Well, since sharing my posts on setting out on my world travels, I have new followers! Hello - and thank you! This is encouragement for me and much appreciated. It helps to know others feel the same and have taken the steps! It would be good to keep in touch with their travels, get ideas …

Yes, the other post was not meant to be what it ended up being! So here is the intended one, for my daughters and others who may be rushing headlong into life and through it without thought or breath! "Youth is wasted on the young". If you've ever heard this, and you are older you …
Update on ch-ch-changes
The changes are happening, quickly now! What is happening then? I am selling my home and travelling for a while, investing more into my business and settling ...somewhere! The idea has been developing for years, literally. Probably since I visited Dubai in 2009 for my 50th, and realised that working abroad could be a reality …
Ch-ch-ch-changes
Things are changing for me. Coming for a while, but now arrived! In my mind and my heart. It feels good but change is scary (and someone once told me - yes, told me - that I don't like change or can't cope with it!). Well, maybe. I like to see what's coming, …
Life’s hard …
I read a quote last year that said "Accept that life is hard ...and it get's easier" I have held on to this as it probably came to me at just the right time. And it helps. When things go wrong (as they often do ...yet another rhyme about life) it helps to know …
