Just One For The Road
As with so many travel blogs, this website was created following a chance turn of events. In 2020 having worked in the UK travel industry for 30+ years and following the devastating impact of Covid-19, my life, like so many, took a new direction.
Was I to let my knowledge, experience, and love for travel just fade away, or was I going to re-boot, retrain and start again? I learned how to create a website. I harnessed my years of sales, marketing, and product knowledge and then combined that with my love for, of course, travel, but also for wildlife conservation, sustainable tourism, and animal welfare.
Over the past year the website has developed significantly, as have its contents, Today I have over 50 destination reviews including many guest blogs, I feature a very popular holiday competitions page, there is a travel bookstore and I have many new ideas “cooking” until it’s time to serve them up.
While the past couple of years have not been what any of us wanted or envisaged, the time I have spent developing this website has been so beneficial in shaping my future. It has confirmed to me that traveling is in my blood and that my greatest adventures are ahead of me!
Till Next Time…..
