Mother, wife, blogger and keen traveller after 26 years in the travel industry booking other people’s holidays – the cruises, the rail journeys, the coach tours. Semi-retired now, I’ve switched sides of the counter. I started writing for people who want to see the world at their own pace: which cabin to choose, how to fly comfortably with a cranky hip, what travel insurance actually covers once you turn 65, and why the best trips at this age are often the slow ones.  I recently started bush-walking with a group I found online and I’m loving it. Nature is absolutely awe-inspiring.
