You're definitely not alone.
Whether you're a newbie carer, about to become one or just curious, we know how scary the thought of caregiving can be. So you put off thinking about it. Until a crisis hits.
​
But what if there're road maps, cheat sheets and suggested itineraries that you could use to plan your journey like you do your other trips abroad?
​
Would caregiving be less of a scary thought?
​
Drawing from the experiences of a former caregiver and eldercare partner, Travelling Solo captures in bite-sized pieces the hard truths about caregiving but also the immense joy that it can bring; from the search for that ultimate one-pot meal to the comfort of being called a 'supergirl', these encounters and other lessons learnt are now available in a travel guidebook format which you can use as a starting point to explore how to:
​
- plan your caregiving journey
- eat and shop like a seasoned carer
- understand the new culture
- appreciate the sights and sounds
- stay safe in unfamiliar territory
- manage setbacks when they arise
- schedule timeouts to recharge, and
- imagine a new way of caring ​
