STAY UP TO DATE ON MY TRAVEL TALES

NEVER ALLOW YOUR TOMORROWS TO BECOME YOUR EMPTY YESTERDAYS

Hello everyone, this is Backpackergranny,

I would say that I am an incurable travel addict since I am spending the latter years of my life travelling the big enormous world. I have visited well over fifty countries and believe me, I have no intention of stopping now. I would like give you a very warm welcome to my web. I am thrilled that you have come to visit my site. I have so many stories to tell you, plus lots of tips and info on exploring our beautiful planet. This year is going to be a terrific year, and Backpacker Granny (Me) has many new and exciting things happening.

To keep up with what is going on, please do sign up here and keep updated on my latest stories. As usual, I will be writing about my fabulous experiences and the funny things that happen to me along the way.

Sometimes the idea of going it alone can be a very daunting thought. But please remember that often the concept is far scarier than the actual reality. I am here to help and inspire you to get out there and make your dreams come true.

Lately, I have received many letters from women who would love to start solo travelling, but they are a little worried as to where to start. Which, in my opinion, it is understandable that you can be scared. Since there is a vast world out there, but Ladies, I’m sure there must be somewhere, possibly more than other places that call out to each of you, Sometimes it’s not about the country one starts with, but more about the journey and the experience of such newly found freedom.

THESE WORDS BY CHERYL STRAYED AND POPE PAUL VI SUMS IT ALL UP.

“I knew that if I allowed fear to overtake me, my journey was doomed. Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one told many women. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave. Nothing could vanquish me.

“Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows. 

“Backpackergranny’s moment of fame”

“We live in a beautiful world that is full of beauty, charm, and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”
