How old is too old to travel?
You know how when you get to a certain age, and you suddenly start ‘playing on it?’
“Ohh… I couldn’t possibly take the bins out – I’m far too old for that.”
Or
“Don’t ask me to hold the dog down while you cut her toenails – I’m getting on a bit. I can’t kneel for long.”
Well, this weeks guest made me feel like a right old fake.
He put me in my place and showed me that you are as old as you feel.
Looking for a few tips on how to avoid jet lag? Want the best advice from an international traveller ( a real one who takes her family around the world for a year?).
Need to know how to prevent jet lag and avoid arriving at your destination feeling like a zombie??
Tah-Dah! Look no further, my friend; you just found it.
If you are going on vacation or are off to start a new life in Europe (lucky you!), I have just the ticket for you.

This week’s podcast walks you through a budget-friendly and fun weekend with kids in Charleston, SC; one of the most popular and unique travel destinations in the world!
Last year my husband and I took our two kids ( teenagers age 16 and 13) to Charleston, SC for a long weekend.
But.
There was a catch.
As always we were on a budget (nothing new there then ) and I must admit, I was somewhat worried as to whether we’d be able to make our money stretch.
Our budget was $80 per day for the four of us.
Did we do it?
Looking for things to do in Charleston Sc with kids that won’t break the bank?
My husband and I took our two kids ( teenagers age 16 and 13) to Charleston for a long weekend.
But. There was a catch.
As always we were on a budget (nothing new there then ) and I must admit, I was somewhat worried as to whether we’d be able to make our money stretch.
Our budget was $80 per day for the four of us. (Yes, we travelled the world for a year but we’re certainly not rich).
So did we do it?
One of the most challenging nights I ever had to endure while I was travelling the world with my two teenagers was a 15-hour overnight bus journey through India.
It was not that it was boiling hot; that was combatted by sliding the skinny top windows open.
Nor was it the fact that it was horrendously noisy; I have headphones which magically turns the hooting of motorbike horns into soothing upside-down yoga music.
It wasn’t even that there wasn’t a great deal of privacy; the flimsy piece of material that the Indian bus company tried to pass off as curtains could be pegged together at one end – helping to block out most of the light.
No.
The reason that that overnight bus journey was so torturous for my family and I was that we didn’t have our own pillows.
Travel purses are a funny thing.
While every woman needs a purse for travel, ideally, we would prefer not to look (or feel) as though we are lugging around some ugly, cumbersome (achy shoulder) carry-all that is housing the entire contents of the top drawer in our kitchen.
That’s not the look we are after when going on vacation.
No, thank you. Certainly not.
So, when it comes to travel handbags, what’s the answer? Which is the best travel purse on the market?
Which one will make you look, feel and be as relaxed, practical and gorgeous looking as possible?
The answer to that will depend on three things.
Your style, your budget and your fear of being robbed. So without further ado, let’s explore the best purses for travel.
I’m Liz, and this is my family.
I do Travel. I do Wine. I do being a mum to big kids. Sometimes I do all three at the same time.
I don’t do hormones. Or looking perfect for Instagram. Or dieting.
