With a backpack filled with enthusiasm and a heart brimming with anticipation, I embarked on my maiden expedition. Little did I know that this journey would take me on a transformative path, nurturing my passion for exploration and teaching me invaluable life lessons along the way.

The Beauty of Embracing the Unknown

Stepping outside the familiar territory was both thrilling and daunting. As a novice traveller, every corner turned and every encounter embraced held newfound excitement. Navigating through unfamiliar customs, languages, and landscapes required adaptability and an open mind.

The beauty of embracing the unknown lies not only in the magnificent sights uncovered but also in the personal growth that occurs. Each interaction with locals and fellow travellers presented an opportunity to broaden my perspectives and challenge preconceived notions.

Unveiling the World's Wonders

As I embarked on my travels, I was astounded by the vast diversity our world has to offer. From towering peaks to serene beaches, bustling markets to tranquil temples, each destination painted a unique tapestry of vivid experiences.

One particular memory that forever etched itself into my heart was visiting the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu. Standing atop this magnificent wonder, the sense of awe and wonder that enveloped me was indescribable. It was a reminder that there is so much more to existence than the mundane routine of everyday life.

An Unexpected Self-Discovery

Travel not only offers a gateway to explore distant lands but also provides an opportunity for profound self-reflection. Stepping away from the familiarity of routine and immersing myself in new environments allowed me to discover my true passions, desires, and the purpose that ignites the fire within.

In the mesmerizing landscapes of New Zealand, I stumbled upon my love for hiking and nature photography. The vast expanses of untouched beauty taught me to value simplicity and commune with the raw splendor of the world.

Navigating Obstacles and Embracing Change

Like any journey, travel is not without its obstacles. From missed flights to lost passports, each hurdle presented an opportunity to showcase adaptability and resilience. It was during these instances that I discovered my inner strength and the ability to find solutions even in the face of adversity.

Perhaps one of the most profound changes I experienced was the shift in my perception of time. No longer confined by a monotonous routine, I learned to truly appreciate the moments that make up life and to live in the present. The constant change and unpredictability of travel taught me to be flexible and optimistic, even in the face of uncertainty.

The Ever-lasting Wanderlust

As a novice traveller, my journey has only just begun. The experiences I've gained and the memories I've made will forever fuel my wanderlust and inspire me to continue exploring uncharted territories. The meanderings of a novice traveller have brought me closer to myself and have taught me the true value of embracing the unknown.

So, are you ready to embark on your own adventure? Let the wonders of the world unravel before your eyes, and allow the meanderings of a novice traveller to ignite your own passion for exploration. Pack your bags, step into the unknown, and let yourself be amazed.

A retired Australian garden designer—and tragic Anglophile—sets off to the UK with a backpack and a folding bike to explore the country of her convict ancestors. By train, car and bike, and sometimes boat and tiny plane, this first-time traveller finds the Britain of her dreams, where history is preserved and cherished, where writers and poets are lauded and celebrated, where gardens are this other Eden's floral heart. From London to the Highlands of Scotland, from the Norfolk Broads to the Isles of Scilly, in gardens and galleries, battlefields and bike paths, her adventures ‘Around the UK’ proves that age and inexperience is no hinderance to international travel.
The story begins in London after a stressful to-do at Heathrow airport where our traveller is abandoned by the scheduled airport transport company. However, help is at hand with the unexpected appearance of friends who have travelled from The Hague to welcome her to the UK—and take her to tea at the Dorchester.
She stays for a week in each of her chosen areas, based in a cottage from where she explores the surrounding cities, villages and countryside. No two days are alike: the battlefield at Culloden contrasts with a boat trip to the Outer Hebrides, Cambridge by bicycle one day and lost on a hike at Wicken Fen the next, every day something new and wonderful. The twelve chapters of the book represent a week of travel and as the weeks turn to months, summer in Scotland eventually becomes autumn on the Cornish Riviera.
Around the UK in Eighty Days is a book for those who have travelled these byways to remember again the thrill of discovery and adventure, for all who would come this way in the future and for those who travel in their imagination.
