I’ve recently had two articles published in The Journal by Intrepid Travel, one about our time on the Nile:
The Magic of Cruising the Nile, When You’ve Dreamed of it for Forty years
and the second about Turkey:
Why I Love Turkey, a Country of Countless Wonders
An article I wrote for Intrepid for The Journal has been printed in Wanderer Magazine, a print magazine in the UK:
Why the Best Travels of my Life Started After 50
Scroll down and you’ll find us perched above Petra in Jordan.
Seven of my photographs, and one of Don’s, were chosen to illustrate an article in Life Refined magazine, a US print magazine.
Recharge and Reset in Samoa
And finally, we are honoured that Adventures in Wonderland has been included in We love Costa Rica’s list of the Top 30 International Retirement Blogs.


Next post: One of the best days in Cuba – sailing to an island with white sand beaches and hundreds of iguanas.

And here I had pictured you and Don relaxing in your new abode while you’ve been incredibly busy spreading the joys of travel far and wide. Such exciting news for you both and I can’t think of anyone I’d rather see have their stories published in the online and printed press. Kudos and Congratulations! Anita

Thank you so much Anita. I’m just so thrilled by it all. Every request was unexpected, and I have another in the pipeline. But don’t worry – it’s not even at a part-time level so we’re definitely doing lots of relaxing, getting more and more cosy in our new home.
