Eat-Pray-Love Liz Gilbert’s travel tips

September 20, 2010 by Rosemary

With the release of the highly anticipated film Eat, Pray, Love just around the corner, Budget Travel Magazine recently sat down for a Q&A with travel guru and best-selling author Elizabeth Gilbert. She discusses how to get the most out of any trip—even if you've only got a week. Here is an excerpt of advice given by the seasoned traveler: … [Read more...]

Eating, Praying, Loving….

November 19, 2008 by Rosemary

I have just finished Liz Gilbert's book Eat Pray Love, and I feel like I have been living it as I have travelled. I was sceptical about the book at first (before I read it), but it has proved a great companion on my travels, and has provided a fantastic grounding place for me. EATING: I identified so much with her description of depression as she seeks a way to live again after a traumatic divorce. This month it is two years since my partner … [Read more...]

Entering the Golden Door

October 27, 2010 by Rosemary

Rather than chasing Happiness, the Buddhist philosophy suggests that we simply let go of that what makes us unhappy. The very notion of chasing something has a sense of urgency about it. With Urgency comes anxiety, and of course with anxiety comes illness and with illness comes unhappiness. Sarah writes: I've just completed a 7 day stay at the Golden Door Health Retreat in Queensland and would recommend it to anyone. … [Read more...]

Exploring Andalucia…

October 16, 2008 by Rosemary

When I was in NZ, I thought of Spain as one thing "Spain". But the truth is that each of the regions of Spain have their own unique distinct history, language and culture. I was aware of this when I was in Barcelona and the distinct culture of Catalunya. Andalucia is very different - with its strong connections with Moorish Africa, the origin of Flamenco, its strong bandit culture and in Antequera the amazing remains of old Megalithic tombs - … [Read more...]

Our Lady of Fatima and Caves – looking beneath the surface

October 30, 2008 by Rosemary

Today we are off on a pilgrimage - Ceridwyn and I are keen to see Fatima. This international focus of pilgrimage is just down the road from Tomar where we are staying. Danielle is not so keen and The Lonely Planet is downright scathing about tacky religious souvenirs I am here as an observer of the phenomenon that is Fatima. A welcome sign invites us to enter as pilgrims and despite myself, I am soon drawn in to the sense of holy in the place. … [Read more...]

The key to rediscovery isn’t exotic travel…

March 17, 2008 by Rosemary

This excellent post by Renee A. James is about the 'EPL backlash' - the growing backlash in reaction to the phenomen "EAT, PRAY, LOVE" - the book Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia, by Elizabeth Gilbert. Renee writes " From what I've read about Elizabeth, she is engaging, smart and curious. But, this chronicle of her year spent ''searching for everything'' felt so indulgent. I'm just so weary … [Read more...]

The Lost Girls – nearly 30 and looking for life…

May 24, 2010 by Rosemary

Well I guess we all have to do our thing - if Liz Gilbert with Eat Love Pray did it for my generation, someone has to do it for the under 30s - Jen, Holly and Amanda have done it and written Lost Girls - three friends, four continents, one unconventional detour around the world … [Read more...]

Women Travellers go it Alone

May 26, 2009 by Rosemary

“Where are the men?” This was clearly the unspoken thought of many who watched the five of us toss the ropes and maneuver our Barge through the locks on the Canal du Midi in Southern France. We were the only crew of women on the canal and when on the last day we steered our way through the famous seven locks at Beziers, the crowds that come to watch this spectacle gave us a round of applause for our efforts. … [Read more...]
