The Freedom of Me
Why More Women Are Choosing Solo Travel Solo travel is often described as brave, independent and empowering and I agree that it is all of those things. But for me, it has always been something more. It is the freedom of me. Thirty years ago, life took an unexpected turn. My marriage had ended and, […]
The Women Behind the Wines
Why wine journeys offer far more than great bottles and beautiful vineyards Ask a group of women what they expect from a wine journey and many will talk about vineyards, tastings and memorable meals. Ask them what they remember afterwards and the answer is often surprisingly different: The women behind the wines. While some wine […]
Books, Stories and the Luxury of Time
Why Reading Retreats Feel So Right, Right Now. For many women, luxury looks a little different these days. Time to linger over breakfast. Space for an afternoon nap.

The Many Faces of China
China does not reveal itself all at once. It unfolds — slowly, sometimes defiantly — across centuries, dynasties, revolutions and reinventions.

It is a country that resists simplification — and […]
Where Stories Lead the Way…
Where Stories Lead the Way Travel has a way of changing when stories come with you. A favourite book slipped into your bag. A conversation overheard in a cafe.
