I'm taking some time this month to travel back in time and reflect on some of the wonderful (and less wonderful) places I've been able to visit, and to think about places I will visit in the future when travel is possible again. Iguazu Falls, Brazil/Argentina: Possibly the biggest waterfall in the world. If you… Continue reading Travel A-to-Z – I
Month: March 2021
Travel A-to-Z – H
While we wait for Covid restrictions to be lifted, and to have permission to stray a little further than the streets around our homes, I'm using this month to reminisce about places I've been lucky enough to visit, and to think about places I will go in the future. One day. Hay on Wye, Wales:… Continue reading Travel A-to-Z – H
Travel A to Z – G
No new trips are in sight just yet, so I'm spending the month of March reminiscing about trips from the past, and dreaming a little bit about travel in the future. Granada, Spain: You might think I'm going to talk about the Alhambra, and perhaps I should, but my memories of Granada are less of… Continue reading Travel A to Z – G

Happy international women’s day! Except we don’t have a lot to be happy about. Especially if you’re an Australian woman. Why? Let me count the ways. Intimate partner violence kills one woman every week in Australia. “Why not just leave him?” say people who have no idea what domestic violence is like or how your… Continue reading Angry IWD
Surprise! (9.21)
It's the start of March! And I have held true to my promise to myself to resume running on 1st March. (The last run was 23 December) And I went running on 3rd March too! Most surprising was that I haven't lost as much 'puff' as I thought I would. I was able to do… Continue reading Surprise! (9.21)

Travel is still off the books, so it's a good time this month to reflect on the good fortune I've had in my travelling life so far, and my wishes for travel of the future. Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany: One of those place that people roll their eyes over. "Boring." they say. "Much better places to visit… Continue reading Travel A to Z – F
Travel A to Z – E
Travel is off the cards for now, so it's a good time to sit back and reflect on places I've visited in the past, and places I want to visit in the future. While physical travel is limited, travel in the mind is still very much possible. Etosha National Park, Namibia: This was Husband-then-Boyfriend and… Continue reading Travel A to Z – E
Travel A to Z – D
We're locked down until at least some time in April. Can't go anywhere. Can't see anyone. The only place to travel is in your mind, down memory lane. This month I'm reflecting on travel stories from places I've been and thinking about that ever-growing list of places I want to go. Dublin, Ireland: It was… Continue reading Travel A to Z – D
Travel A to Z – C
While lockdown continues, while Covid-19 is still spreading, and in this time where we cannot go away anywhere, travel (if you're not an essential worker) means walking those same streets that surround your house; those same streets you've probably already walked many times already. I'm taking some time month to reflect on trips of the… Continue reading Travel A to Z – C
