I promise, hand on heart, that you will return home feeling something different! Be it fulfilled with new cultures, full to the brim of the delicious dining experiences or completely tuckered out from a well needed laugh. My entire aim is for your your cultural, physical and mental senses to be in tact with ''those'' travel stories to tell your friends and family about for years to come - or even not to tell - maybe some of what happens on a Switchlife tour may have to ''stay on tour'' (lol hahahah!). So, let's get to it ..... our brand new tour options are below - not all itineraries are out yet, please keep an eye for the ones that are!
The normal tours just don't do it for me. Granted I have travelled extensively, but I just like to do things different - I have ADHD for starters and I truly get off with experiences that have that dopamine hit - fast forward to where I am at now, here at midlife (late 50's), that level of ''high'' has tweaked and slowed, AND I do it all ''age appropriate'', but I still yearn to do it, and do it all.
This is a big reason why Switchlife travel was born. I have spent 33 years in the travel industry, seen some magnificent sights, met some incredibly human worthy people from all over and lived on 5 stunning continents - I can tell you right here, right now, the journey is not over yet!
I am creating bucket list travels I WANT TO GO ON, so if you want to tag along, it would be my thrill, my midlife dopamine hit excitement and my honour to price up the package so you can meet me at the departure gates too!
No matter if you are a midlife single, or a double (in a marriage or partnership, or even just dating), if you are keen on seeing more of the world and experiencing it with other midlifers, then just say yes!
We have no option then, to see you you at the departure gate!
Veer north of the wild side as we use our midlife adventure era to explore this land via jeep, boat, plane and foot.
I personally love Vietnam and the presence of time, culture, humble people and peace it gives me when I touchdown on the soil, is something you actually have to experience for yourself. On this tour we will experience the flavours, culture and be exposed to all the elements this great country offers all its visitors.
This is a very special tour too, just quietly. I'm asking all the peri / meno-pause ladies of the globe to gather their hot flushed, sometimes overwhelmed (which might present as grumpy), confused and tired self to come on tour with me. To release anything that's been unrelenting, or needs a vent and to share this adventure with other midlife women feeling the same and like 'this is just what I need' kind of tour!
It's a hot spot right now, so why not come see what all the Japan hype is all about, with us!
Can you believe that in all my 32 years in travel, I have yet to visit this mystic land full of custom, tradition and deliciousness.
So, it is definitely time for wings up and departure gates.
This tour is open for everyone, singles, doubles, all of you. Midlife travellers who have had Japan on the bucket list forever and a day.
We will visit sites you have maybe only seen in an old travel brochure and experience what only Japan can offer and keeps sacred to the rest of the world.
An easy to get to destination, from sky reaching planes to very fast trains and on your own two feet, we will experience Japan together, and fill our buckets with midlife adventure, laughter and memories to return home with. Don't forget too, we will fill the bellies with very, very fine food!
It's been a long time coming, I want to tick this experience off once and for all!
You may not have even heard of the Camino trail, it's not something everyone has heard about funnily enough. It is in Europe and spans through 29 different countries such as Spain, Portugal, France and Germany. Smaller routes meet larger routes. The history is deep, rich, meaningful.
We will walk approximately 100km on the chosen route. The end goal is in Spain, where all roads (trails) end at Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, in the Plaza de Obradoiro.
You will definitely need some walking time prior the trip. The route we will walk is one of the easier paths/trails.
We will meet our main luggage at the next village, only carrying our day packs with us. All the heavy lifting done for us. Imagine you being able to tick this journey off too!
For the exquisite-sometimes-grumpy-misunderstood-on-fire-peri - or meno-maybe a tad moody-global-women!
Bring yourself where you're at now in your midlife, we don't care if you feel misunderstood, lack energy or mental focus - share what we all have in common with other women from around the world and feel connected, or tell your bestie about this tour and bring her too.
Morocco has been on so many bucket lists for years. Wings up to to the tip of Africa we go to share with women who more than likely feel like you do.
Midlife is a huge change for all of us, 40 years of periods has nothing on what meno-on-fire did when it knocked on the door and let itself in.
So, come and enjoy what nature hands to us on a plate, leave all those worries and responsibilities at home and relax into Morocco with us! Wings up lady friend, see you at the gate!
You read the tour title correctly. Midlife couples, this has been tailor made for you to centre yourselves, anchor in and get your jive on. Enter at your own will, both of you, and share the most extraordinary midlife era like NEVER before. Share your life with 9 other couples in Italy, Greece and Portugal. UP time for play, touring and sensory magic. Down time for switching off, floating in the pool, or whatever floats your fancy privately. Experience local life in villages where time can momentarily be a distant memory, and life can simply be THAT perfect. Just you and your lover ..... oh, and 9 other couples, but that's utter minor detail!.
