All over the USA, many dating apps and websites are trying to lure us in. […]

Years ago, I designed a logo for Don’t Stop Living and also had one designed for me. These days though, it’s much easier thanks not only to technological advances, but to new and quirky websites and platforms that make designing graphics easier. Recently […]
We’ve all met them, those mature travellers that have so much decorum, so much experience of travelling and just are great tourists to travel with. Even on the Inca Trail, I was blessed to be joined by a Taiwanese couple in their 50s doing the hike. I was 30 at the time, I couldn’t have imagined being able to do that aged 50! But when I get to hang out with mature travellers (and yes I know I am in danger of becoming one very soon, as the years go by), I tend to get very inspired by them, and then they tell me their […]
