They do say that travel broadens the mind. It has its benefits no doubt – and for those that are blessed with the ability to get about and see the word, life can be enhanced in so many ways.

For me, travel takes me away from the day to day challenges, pressure of work and constant demands that many of us face, in this fast-paced world that we now live in.  I’m lucky to have work-related activities that allow me to travel.

Time away often gives me a chance to think and reflect – a welcome opportunity to clear my head and process the important things in life.  At times like this I find that I’m at my creative best.

Possibly because I have an opportunity to watch and observe other people and cultures, which over the years has provided me with some truly inspirational writing and comedy gold.

Yes, this is me watching you. Another blessing. By the way – I’m not keen on camping. Let’s face it, life can be hard enough as it is!
