Solo travel, real stories, and thoughtful advice for women navigating midlife and beyond.
No glitz, no gloss—just the truth about going it alone—and loving it.
Because travel doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful.
Adventure
We all need a little adventure now and then—whether it’s a train across China or stumbling upon a quirky bookshop on a rainy afternoon in Italy. These are stories from the road: the awkward, the joyful, and the in-between moments that make solo travel unforgettable.
Travel Tips
No fluff. No platinum travel cards required. Just practical advice for women with real lives and real budgets.
Learn how I navigate safety, solo planning, packing light, and staying sane along the way.
Inspiration
You don’t have to climb mountains to feel inspired (though you can, if you like). Travel starts with a shift in mindset. These posts explore how solo travel —at any age—can reconnect you with possibility, purpose, and pleasure.
“Wanderlust knows no age; it thrives in the hearts of those who dare to explore.”
About Intermezzo Adventures
This isn’t a site about bucket lists or bragging rights.
It’s for thoughtful women in midlife and beyond who want to travel on their own terms—without asking permission, without pretending to be fearless, and without waiting for someone to go with them.
I’m Deborah—musician, writer, traveller, artist, and quiet rebel in sensible shoes.
Through real-world travel stories, honest advice, and the occasional misadventure, I share what I’ve learned about solo travel later in life: how to start, how to keep going, and how to enjoy the space you’ve claimed for yourself.
