January 23, 2017 by Rosemary

I know that some women really do head off into the sunset with just a pack an airline ticket, but for those of you who need a little more of a plan, here is my advice... I wanted to go to Europe.

House boat in Kerala backwaters

My parents started traveling in their 60s. They booked their first night in Athens and from then on found their way via trains and accommodation across Europe.
