Chasing Summer in the Cayman Islands

December 20, 2019 by Rosemary

Cayman-Island-relax

For anyone like me who is not a fan of cold weather, when wintertime hits, it’s time to find summer somewhere else. This November, I did exactly that when I made my first journey to the Cayman Islands, solo.Shelley Seale -  http://www.shelleyseale.com/ I’ve traveled throughout the Caribbean quite a bit, but had never visited the Caymans before. I’ve found that Caribbean islands all share a few commonalities: soft sand beaches, impossibly … [Read more...]

Companies that pay it forward – why you should choose to be a conscious traveller

August 18, 2018 by Rosemary

Tourism can be both a blessing and a curse. As visitors, we are drawn to pristine environments populated by friendly locals who are falling over themselves to welcome us into their world. Adverts and articles paint a picture of perfection and convince us that somehow we’re being short changed if we accept anything less. Energy-guzzling air conditioning, food that’s travelled more miles than we have and towels that see more … [Read more...]

Lyn Taylor’s Adventure is now organising Trips to the Arctic and Antartica

April 9, 2018 by Rosemary

After months of planning, weeks of anticipation and long-haul flights from Sydney, we finally arrived at Ushuaia, known locally as el fin del Munda (the end of the world), raring to begin our Antarctic adventure. At 1600 we clambered up the gangway where our crew showed us our cabins, I must say we were pleasantly surprised at the spaciousness, and abundance is storage space. Then it was off to explore the nooks and crannies of our cosy home … [Read more...]

A Week Cruising the Galapagos Islands

February 18, 2018 by Rosemary

Day one I am watching the sun go down over the Galapagos Islands – it is like a dream come true. It did not feel like that at 4am when we got up to catch a 4.15 taxi for a 6.30am flight from Quito to Galapagos, having not slept the night before. It made for a rough start to the day. However the rest of the arrangements with our cruise boat Angelito were a dream. From a warm Beunos dias from Tony at 5am at Quito airport with our tickets to … [Read more...]

Sacred Valley Women’s Weaving Collective – a must visit

November 19, 2016 by Rosemary

Awamaki - womens weaving collective

Awamaki is an organisation which connects Andean women in with international markets. It operates out of Ollantaytambo an amazing Inca village in the heart of  the Sacred Valley in Peru. We had been told by someone else about this women's weaving collective, and were keen to do it - we had a spare day in Ollantaytambo and this was how we wanted to spend it. Read more about our stay in Ollantaytambo and we loved it and recommend staying … [Read more...]

Are you a Machu Picchu Woman

November 2, 2016 by Rosemary

Wild Women Expeditions

The stories women are sharing about the Wild Women Trek on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru are incredibly inspiring...this magical place seems to awaken something deep within us, long lost. Donna shared an amazing story about the impact this adventure had on her life, in the wake of surviving breast cancer. She wrote: Hiking through the ancient ruins, I felt surrounded by the ancestors and it was very comforting. I felt that … [Read more...]

Costa Rica here I come – Come stay at DiVina Vida

September 12, 2016 by Rosemary

After a lifetime of living someone else's dream, Lisa Morris sold everything (or lost it) and came to Costa Rica "by the blessing and grace of my dear mentor Maria Delmas". Lisa was shown a video of Costa Rica 23 years ago and wanted to move there right then and there.   In August of 2013, her youngest daughter entered into college and by December of that year, she was living full time in Costa Rica.   Lisa has opened DiVina Vida - a place … [Read more...]

Two Very Different Cruise destinations: Scandinavia and the Caribbean

August 13, 2016 by Rosemary

Caribbean Cruising

We all have an image in our minds about the archetypal cruise. This usually involves cerulean waters, white sands and tropical destinations. And to be fair that is pretty accurate! But there is much more variety available when it comes to cruising holidays. It may be the case that you’re in the mood for some Caribbean relaxation, or you could be in the mood for an invigorating cruise through the breath-taking scenery of Scandinavia. We’ve … [Read more...]
