You there, yes you! Come join me

As I am turning 60 this year, I thought it would be timely to shake things up a bit. My life has changed considerably over the past few years and I will share my love story with you all on another occasion - be warned! You may need tissues and those of you dear readers who know me personally have already shared some tears with me. I promise it has a happy ending though haha
Now on to the meaty part!
If someone had mentioned the number 60 to me years ago, the following words would have sprung to mind....grey hair, retired, bingo, perms, nanna naps, sherry....you see where I am going with this?

So it won’t surprise you to hear I’ve decided to write this blog to capture our moments of adventure and fun. To inspire you, the reader and to remind us all that life is to be lived, not passed by. I experience the world with an open mind and heart; not as a tourist so much, but as a traveller.
I like to immerse myself in the culture, the food, the music and the people and I want you to join me, through this blog. You will follow us on one of our trips - Thailand is coming up, but also our experiences in and around the many great restaurants and venues in Australia.
I look forward to your comments, suggestions and encouragement as I take you all around the world through my eyes!



Life is for the living

Hasn’t the world changed in two years?  Well, life has changed so much - but let me take you back a while.  Growing up in Australia, I only ...
