Have you ever been somewhere in this glorious big wide world, and suddenly you remember how special it was. You remember a moment.  You remember the fragrance.

Keep Confident When Travelling

Whether you are a younger or older adult, incontinence cannot interfere with your travel plans.  No-one wants to miss a plane being caught in the airport bathroom.

Sleeping With The Elephants In Bali

I’m relaxing by the pool at the 5-star resort we stayed at in Sanur, reading a glossy Luxury Travel Magazine.

Or … You can think of the Ubud surrounding area. Where yoga […]
