A bit more about me.
With a background career and degree in tourism and a love of travel; a long-standing passion for writing and photography; a fan of both walking and cycling, and a weakness for carrot cake; I began to approach midlife with an element of dread. That was until I realised it has the potential to be amazing and since then I began to dedicate as much time as I could to researching nutrition, well being and self-improvement.
My love of writing and photography stems back as early as my childhood. I owned my first SLR camera at eighteen and later gained a film photography diploma. Today the internet has opened up far more accessible opportunities to write and take photographs that were just not around when we were younger. So when I first discovered what a blog actually was, later rather than sooner, I decided I needed to try and start one. Eventually, it was born, I hope you enjoy reading it.
