When you think of a travel blogger, you probably think of either an intrepid backpacker or a woman too short to be a model who instead flits from glamorous hotel to glamorous spa as a travel influencer.

I am neither of those things!

Due to the commitments in my life, I am unable to travel at all these days. But I have travel dreams and I am quietly assembling a very thoroughly researched bucket list of travel plans in preparation for the day when I have the freedom and opportunity to follow my dreams. In the meantime, I thought I would share my bucket list of travel with anyone who cares to visit this blog.

It’s a beautiful planet. Come and explore it with me – in reality or in our dreams!

Shall we sit on a tropical beach and drink cocktails from coconut shells? That would be nice. I can almost feel the sun on my skin and sand between my toes.

Shall we walk through the towns around Lake Como and take a moment to sit and watch the little boats float on by as the scents of lemon and olive fill our senses? Perhaps we will have a pizza and a glass of wine as the sun sets over the distant hills?

Or shall we take up our cameras and capture the architecture and atmosphere of Paris?

It’s hard to visit interesting and beautiful places every day, but you can certainly think about it – and that is almost as good! You will see that I share “walk through” films on my blog. I love walk-through films! They give you a real sense of what it will be like to visit a place. I find that I absorb some portion of the energy and atmosphere of the travel destination. It’s obviously not the full experience, but it gives you more of a flavour of a place than if you didn’t take a virtual visit.

So welcome to my blog. I hope it inspires some dreams and plans for you too.
