I’m thrilled that Travelreads has chosen to feature me on their blog! In this guest post, I explain why I looked for adventure everywhere except home.

I didn’t abandon distant horizons – they abandoned me! When COVID slammed borders shut, I had no option but to poke around my own patch of the world.

And I admit it. What I found was unbelievably wonderful!

Find out why you don’t need a customs clearance to enjoy the spark of discovery – and how staying put can be just as much of an adventure if you open your eyes!

Like many travellers, I used to think that “adventure” had to involve at least a long-haul flight or a whiff of diesel at some questionable third-world border crossing.
