Back in Bangkok after nearly 20 years (gosh I feel old!) and am beginning my forties with a Thailand getaway 🎉 After a hectic apartment move and a few draining months, I’m easing into this trip gently and finding my mojo again!

Bangkok is such a vibrant city, a complete sensory overload. And although I’d visited previously, many moons ago now, I’d forgotten just how much you’re forced to surrender to the chaos and immerse yourself in the present moment.

Join me on my solo exploring adventures sampling traditional Thai desserts at Chatuchak Night Market, wandering around Wat Paknam’s giant golden Buddha and discovering a tropical roof garden high above Bangkok’s bustling streets.

Whether you’re navigating your thirties or forties, carving out a fresh start for yourself or building a life that looks a little different from what you expected, I’d love to have you along for this next chapter.
