Where to next?
Inspiration
Welcome to my blog page, here you will find all the destinations that I have visited and wrote about. I like to live life thinking why not? Why not take that flight? Why not take that chance? Life is too short not to explore this amazing world we have, if you have the courage you can find so much adventure, even in the places you’d least expect to, you just have to be open to new destinations, people and opportunities.
I try to go through life in an optimistic way, give out good vibes and positive energy then amazing people & good things will gravitate towards you. Travel has always been a huge part of my life but the other big part of my life is the people I have in it, especially my family. I recently lost my beautiful Nan, she was an inspirational woman to me, so strong & caring.
After our loss, I gained her laptop with her energy and began to write. It’s a dream I have always had, to blog about my adventures, now with her energy at my fingertips and her soul at my side I have found the courage to take the next step and put my writing & pictures out there for all to see.
I hope you enjoy.

Merci Natalie pour ce beau voyage à Hawaï.
Reportage et ressenti très différents par rapport à la Crète, sans doute parce que je ne suis jamais allé à Hawaï !!!!
Votre “travail” est remarquable.
Profitez bien de votre jeunesse et de votre joie de vivre, mais prenez soin de vous en ces temps difficiles.

Regarding Rhodes, I don’t know if I should congratulate Natalie the journalist or Natalie the writer.
One more stone to your edifice, of course I want to talk about your blog.
I dare not imagine the “work” that this represents, but I am sure that for you it is a pleasure to share your family getaways with us.
As with Crete, the architecture of your story is remarkable and beautifully illustrated.
I think, but I could be wrong, that regarding some taverns or restaurants you should comment on Tripadvisor.
I do not know if you are registered on this website that I consult before each trip.
All that’s left for me to do is wait for your next “journey” to a world that has regained its health.
BRAVO Natalie / Readyfortakeoff
