About Us
Welcome to Intermezzo Adventures!
Hi, I’m Deborah, and I’m so pleased you’re here. If, like me, you’re staring down the barrel of the second (or third) act of your life, and you yearn for a little adventure, then there’s no time like the present!
I’m an Australian living in Melbourne — classical musician, author, artist, teacher, mother, lover-of-travel, dreamer, and explorer.
I created Intermezzo Adventures to share my stories, and as a reminder that life is an adventure, regardless of age, income, or background. Life is better when spiced with a little excitement.
If you’re wondering whether it’s too late to start travelling, I’m here to tell you it’s not. Age should never deter you from living life to the fullest. Instead, it serves as a reminder that the time for action is now.
We’re happier when working toward a goal, so let’s embrace the future together.
