The Story So Far
I’ve always loved to travel, sometimes the kind of travel that goes beyond beaches and bucket lists and sometimes places that I’ve read about or seen online and feel I need to visit.
Avid Traveller | Craft Beer Enthusiast | Type 1 Diabetic | Plus-Size Adventurer
I started TravelChickFrom76 as a way to document the stories, missteps, and magic moments that come from saying yes to adventure. I’m on the cusp of turning 50, still learning, still travelling, and still finding the confidence that solo travel has a funny way of uncovering.
I’m not an influencer or a full-time nomad - I’m a real person with a suitcase that never quite closes properly, a Labrador waiting at home, and type 1 diabetes tagging along for every journey. My travels are a mix of long-haul adventures, European escapes, and UK weekends that prove you don’t have to go far to find perspective.
Why I Travel
Travel, for me, is about connection, new experiences and as a craft beer lover, new beers to try.
It’s the reminder that the world is bigger, kinder, and more fascinating than our routines let us believe. It’s about slowing down, paying attention, and collecting experiences instead of just photos.
Every trip leaves a mark, even the ones that don’t go to plan (especially those, actually). Travel has been part therapy, part education, and part love story with the world and this blog is where I share it all.
