So practically every woman’s had their heart broken, right?

We’ve all been there, resorting to Bridget Jones-style duvet days and endless resolutions each time our heart is returned damaged and bruised, and somewhat not in the condition it was given out in.

Well I found, if not a cure for my broken heart, definitely some medicine to help heal it – foreign travel, which is why in my travel blog I want to encourage women to swap boxes of tissues for mosquito spray, and chocolate for Thai cuisine.

OK, so foreign travel might not miraculously mend a broken heart completely, but I do believe it does help. Even minus the emotional turmoil and heartache from which I have, in the past, endeavoured to escape, travelling can give a person an amazing sense of confidence, achievement, and often even fulfilment.

At the very least you get some time away to regroup, to gain some perspective, to decide on what YOU want, as well as countless opportunities to meet new people and learn about things that truly will blow your mind!
