True but a lot of people get their social media ready for publication. With covers and blurbs and hype.

I loved my three days in cesky krumlov back in 2020 and often recommend it to people.

Sounds amazing. I spent five weeks in Morocco over Christmas and I live in Cornwall. Hope it goes well

It's my book launch tomorrow. I am excited and nervous.
I have books, a slide show. Tinsel (even though it's February) and making some Tapas.

My first interailing trip when I was 55. I went solo for a month. H
My trip was life changing. I enjoyed the freedom after raising kids and being tied to routines. I had time to think about my life so far.
Plus I published a book all about my trip and then went on two more solo trips

My second book which is all about my 500 mile walk on the Camino de Santiago has now hit 100 reviews.
If you are interested in walking this pilgrimage do feel free to ask me anything about it. Or read my book.
You could look at the reviews and see what others say about it :)

Popped to Looe in Cornwall to take some books to the bookshop. Looe is so different in the winter, I think I prefer it.

I hadn't thought of that. They have been there many years so I think they are safe.

It is even more amazing in real life. I went on my month in Andalucia, I am a travel writer. Then I took my partner back as I wanted to share it with him. It's very close to Ronda which is another amazing place.

I nearly booked a cave house but the timings weren't right. But I did stay in a cave house in Sacromomte. If you enjoy Andalucia you might like my latest book.

It's an amazing little village. I have been twice.

Where would you recommend recording for an audio book? My readers are asking me to have my books available on audible.

Totally understand the emotions. After 36 days walking it's very difficult to describe
