About Intermezzo Adventures
Too often, I see women who finally have the time to travel hesitate. Not because they don’t want to go — but because the idea of travelling solo feels daunting, or they worry it will be too expensive, too lonely, or simply too hard to manage.
Intermezzo Adventures is for women in midlife and beyond who want to design their own travel — how it works, how to prepare, and how to do it in a way (and on any budget) that suits them.
Especially if it’s been a while, or if the idea of travelling solo feels … a little daunting. Or, perhaps, you just need a gentle nudge!
I’m Deborah — writer, musician, lifelong creative, teacher, and independent traveller. I share real-world experience, practical guidance, and honest advice to help you build confidence and make informed choices — without asking permission, without pretending to be fearless, and without waiting for someone to go with you.
No hype. No pressure. Just satisfying travel, clearly explained.
Let’s turn your long-held travel dreams into something real.
