  Booking your Summer Holiday Some of you may have already booked your summer holiday but some like me, may leave it till now when you are ready to go and just about fed up with the great British weather!!  I like to do a bit of research on my destinations because I like to explore and feel familiar with the country and region I am visiting. I particularly like to indulge in the local cuisine and dine in the village taverns rather than the normal 'burger and chips' tourist cafes. Gone are the days of packaged holidays with the internet in full force worldwide. We can google anything these days from adventurous destinations to luxurious 5 star hotels. There is such a range of accommodation, transportation and places to visit and numerous ways to book your dream vacation.

  Teaching Yoga Overseas - Sea Views and Nature There is something special about working and living overseas. I was so lucky on my very first adventure 20+ years ago, when I decided to pack a suitcase and disappear into the sunset! I had just experienced an upsetting marriage break-up and wanted to get away. I worked for a holiday company and was assigned to Cyprus. I had never been there before, but fell in love with the island.  This first experience of working abroad turned out well for me and my life then evolved around travel, fitness and many adventures. I continued to work overseas and then onboard cruise ships. I have been back in the UK for 8 years and I am lucky enough to be in the position to have a few more escapades ahead of me. I have once again worked onboard a cruise ship as a  Fitness on the go Class Instructor and returned at the end of last year. A new opportunity has now come my way as a Yoga Instructor in a beautiful Yoga retreat on the island of Cor...
