A big thanks to Elaine Thatcher of Runawaybrit.com for contributing the following post as the November 30th Travel Instigator. Stay tuned for a feature post and Q and A from a new adventurous female traveler the 15th and 30th of every month.
People often tell me that I am brave when they read about my travels so before I start this post let me tell you a few things about myself. I am not brave. Not in the least. I am scared of flying, spiders and fish—not a great start for somebody who wants to travel the world. I am also a girl’s girl. I do not leave the house without make-up, I prefer to wear skirts and dresses rather than trousers or jeans, heels are my best friend, and I think I would die without my GHD hair straighteners (which are safely stowed in my backpack as I travel South America). There are many eight-legged reasons why I have not yet visited Australia; I’m still trying to summon the courage to go!
