Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life.

My first solo trip ✈️

The travel bug first bit me in 2017.

Up until then I had only been abroad twice (lets not go there 🙄).

For a whole number of reasons I had not been out of Edinburgh in 15 years.

At the time I was a keen yogi (alas it has fallen by the wayside😪)

I came across a Yoga Retreat (quite by accident), and thought wth..I will book it.

The Little French Retreat is situated between Toulouse and Bordeaux.It is run by an English lady called Tamsin Chubb.

I spent an idyllic 3 days there,meditating,doing yoga and eating the best food😊.

I am digressing here,ever so slightly😉.

I do remember walking out of Bordeaux Airport and thinking ,”what do i do now “.

My french is abysmal🙄.

Long story short, nothing went wrong and I also spent an xtra couple of days in Bordeaux after the retreat.
