The words of Mathew Parris really resonated with me.
“Travel is a source of joy, of stimulation, of recuperation, of learning, of growing as human beings. To ski, to sail, to explore, to meet, to discover, to sleep in the sun,to swim, to dive, to dance....such things make life worth living, worth looking forward to.
They are healing experiences and the world is going to need a lot of healing”. To read the full article @thetimes Saturday March 13. Thank you @mathewparris for an excellent article and thank you @matt @the_daily_telegraph for laughter- so important!

Something remarkable happened today.

On a call to my agents in India, I could hear in the background the sounds of chatter, car horns and glorious bustle.

‘It sounds just as it used to,‘ I said.

‘Yes,’ he replied, a smile in his voice. 'Everything is back to normal. Everything is open.’

So while here we wait for our vaccinations, for the freedom once more to move and to travel, now could be just the time to do more than just dream about it.

Points South have created some considered, individual journeys for Autumn / Winter 2021/2022

Journeys called ‘Inspirations’.

No groups, no pressure, just hand-picked, special places to visit, each one with dedicated and diligent staff.

They’re waiting to say ‘Namaste’. Why wait to book your visit?

My love of traveling started in early childhood, I had crossed the Atlantic 4 times by the age of 3, via Manchester in those days! My father was a flight engineer for B.O.A.C, the exotic trips continued throughout my childhood whilst many friends rarely ventured beyond these shores. Let’s hope we can all start exploring again very soon! #wewilltravelagain #carpediem
