People think the hardest part of solo travel is being alone.

Nope.

It’s trying to put sunscreen on your own back. 😂☀️

But the funny thing is, this reel isn’t really about sunscreen.

As we get older, many of us value our independence.

We want our own room.
Our own space.
The freedom to do our own thing.

But we also appreciate having people around.

Someone to have dinner with.
Someone to share a laugh with.
Someone to take a photo.
Someone to help with the bits you can’t quite reach. 😂

Because connection matters.

Not just for sunscreen application… although that helps too. ☀️

That’s why I created Zen & Tonic Wellness Activity Breaks.

We’re together, but separate.

Free to do our own thing, but always there to help each other along the way.

And not just with sunscreen. 🤍

He said we weren’t “proper pilgrims” as he elbowed his way past us!

Apparently proper pilgrims carry all their luggage, stay in basic hostels, have cramps and are supposed to suffer on their journey!

Meanwhile, we spent the day walking through beautiful Spanish countryside, laughing, chatting, stopping for coffee, staying active and finishing with a swim in the river.

(Then we checked into our lovely hotel where our luggage was waiting for us!).

Everyone is entitled to walk their own Camino.

This just happens to be ours. 🤍

Maybe that’s true of life too.

You don’t have to do things the way everyone else does.

You just have to find a way that works for you.

Everyone walks their own Camino.
We’re doing it our way. 🤍

What have you been told you’re doing “the wrong way”? 👇

✈️ BUEN CAMINO!

Today I am off to Spain today with a wonderful group of travellers.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to travel with me, follow along this week as we walk part of the Camino de Santiago and then relax for two days!

There’ll be stunning scenery, plenty of laughs, a few wrong turns, and almost certainly some blisters. 😅

And if you’re watching thinking, “I wish I’d booked that…” don’t worry.

I’ve got Mallorca in October and Sri Lanka in February.

My trips are for people who enjoy the finer things in life, but still have a sense of adventure. People who know that getting older doesn’t mean getting old.

Because the best adventures don’t have an age limit.

Say yes to life. Say yes to new experiences. Say yes to yourself. 🤍

Comment MALLORCA or SRI LANKA if you’d like the details.

This weather is enough to depress anyone. 🌧️

Especially if you’re fed up waiting for other people to travel with.

How about you come with me instead? ☀️

I’ve got two adventures coming up:

🌴 Mallorca – October🐘 Sri Lanka – February

And tomorrow I’m heading off on the Camino de Santiago in Spain.

So if you’re curious about what it’s like to travel with me, follow along in my stories and reels this week.

There’ll be plenty of laughs, a few wrong turns, probably some blisters... and definitely great craic. 😅

Because travel isn’t about finding the perfect companion.

It’s about saying yes to yourself instead of waiting for everyone else.

🤍 If your life looks different than you imagined, you’re not alone.

People ask me what happened to me.

The truth?

Life is what happened.

It doesn’t always turn out the way we planned.

But some of the most amazing things in my life happened after life decided to change direction.

Looking back, I can see that some of my greatest adventures, friendships and opportunities came after the plans changed.

Life is a cycle.

Keep going. 🤍

Has life taken you somewhere you never expected?

You won’t find brown rice, celery or perfect influencer poses on my trips. 😂

What you will find is laughter, friendship, adventure, comfortable beds, real conversations and everyone cheering each other on.

Bring your HRT. Bring your creaky knees. Bring your sense of humour.

Most of all, bring yourself.

You don’t need to lose weight first.
You don’t need to be fitter first.
You don’t need to wait for someone to come with you.

Come exactly as you are.

Because life is happening now, not someday.

Solo… but never alone. 🤍✈️

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to book the trip, this might be it. 😉
