This crazy thing called life....

Ok ok so it's becoming obvious I am not organised at blogging every week ;)  The last 6 months have been yet again a whirlwind of travel, house moves, building business, friendship and negotiating motherhood! All the while worrying that I am failing in each and every area, this I believe is totally normal!

I have spent all year building up my online business teaching English along side travelling every 6 weeks and I feel so proud of its performance and all of my amazing students who continue to inspire me with their unique qualities. During this time I have since stumbled upon another opportunity of setting up an online travel agency, a goal of mine is to have more time for travel because for me it is my passion. I love it and I live for it, I will literally be a walking advert for this new venture so watch this space and while your here have a look at my page and some beautiful pictures of  fellow travellers - https://www.facebook.com/hacienda27/




Now I know a lot of people wonder where my children fit into this whirlwind, they are my mini humans and of course they are as in love with travel as I am. I try to show my children that life is to grab by the horns, that mistakes can be made and it's ok, and that risks can be taken (to a point;)) and this last year they have showed me that as much as I cry that I am ruining their lives from time to time (JOKES) that they are extremely smart, ambitious, fun loving and well travelled independent kids. Owen is nearly 15 and the all rounder, handsome, smart, athletic, popular and funny! Ruby has the sassiest humour, she is a real beauty and can make friends with her own shadow, smart and beautiful...how did I create these people ;) I have zero doubts that they are destined for great adventures. Boasting over ;) 




In each blog I always shout from the rooftops about woman power (and no I'm not talking about leaving your armpit hairs to grow long and bash men, but more about strong and inspiring women;)) I recently spent a week with a very beautiful and smart woman in Dubai, who shares the same name as me funnily enough ;) At the tender age of 24 she shows an ambition and drive that I wish I had discovered at this age! A model and event manager, she manages to effortlessly make life look easy as she moves between business woman and model. Her grit is admirable because to make it in a mans world which Dubai is renowned for, you have to have a thick skin, determination and consistently show up which she did every single day. She showed me such hospitality during my stay, dealing with my whirlwind antics like a pro ;) We need more Sandras in this world, take a look - 



Ok it's time for me to go create more memories and adventures, keep your eyes on me because I never sit still ;) Over and out - eyes on the prize.

Good evening souls, I am so excited to be writing this particular blog because in the last month I have been on quite an amazing trip and interviewed a woman who has totally inspired me since the first day I met her! I don't even know where to start, so I'll just try from the beginning shall I? It was February 14th at exactly 18:04pm and I had decided to bite the bullet and take my quest to help others less fortunate that one step further....4494 km further to be precise!  Fast Forward.... It's the  27th March 2017    11:08 am  -  I'm writing this as I'm sitting on a flight from Gdansk to the UK en-route to Kuwait.... I will explain :) I have been reading a lot about how changing the things that you do in your life can really give you different results and as you know I've decided to spend more time dedicated to giving back. So, on that night of Valentines Day, I found a wonderf ul organisation called KACCH, who help t o  minimize the stressful impact of h

Reasons to travel....

So 2 days in a row of blogging, somebody give me a medal 💪 Today I want to give you my opinion on what are the best reasons why everyone should enrich their life with around the world travel. And while I'm at it...all these reasons can also be taken as my motivation for doing what I do at 7Skies Travel - https://www.facebook.com/hacienda27/ . Travelling  is easier than you think. I believe that travelling around the world shouldn’t be hard, it’s something everyone should be able to do at least once or twice in their life at the very least. Whether you choose to spend a few years, a couple months or just the annual 2 week holiday once a year travelling this beautiful planet, it’s important to see what’s out there. It’s up to you to make it happen and take the first step.  Not sure where to start?  You can always call 7Skies Travel and get some complimentary advice! Travelling gives you a different perspective Meeting people from other cultures will teach you that the way

Everything is possible...

Hello again so soon! I couldn't fit all my news from the last month into 1 blog, so here is the 2nd part which I'm super excited to write about. I have had 6 months of complete and utter life changing situations happening, one after the other. Now as strong as I am, it began to take a toll on my usually positive and strong character and I began to look around for something or someone to give me some help. Now..... re-wind back to 17th September 2016 11:00am, I had been hosting a meeting in a coffee house and was on my out when I heard someone chasing behind me to ask about the English services I could offer, this woman struck me as someone full of character and energy and I immediately warmed to her. A quick exchange of numbers and I left feeling really uplifted by the fact she noticed me working and her direct and determined nature, to just make the contact! I was perfectly impressed by her before I knew who and what she was about, this is a rare commodity these days! I
