Travels with Tracy

It was time to step into travel and see where it would take us physically,
emotionally and spiritually – to challenge the voices in our heads,
evolve our life stories and learn from what the world had to offer.

 

My second book, Travels with Tracy: Tales from a Midlife Gap Year, is not your typical travel memoir. With successful careers behind us, supportive families and a lifetime of hard work up our sleeves, Tracy and I decided to pack up our lives and embark on a richly diverse two-year journey across five continents, and every state in Australia. 

 

From exploring the outback in an RV to five-star hotels and open-top sports cars, our journey involved a wide variety of experiences. Brimming with unforgettable adventures and encounters with remarkable people, the tales take readers from the Shibuya crossing and earthquakes in Tokyo to the Louvre and the Olympics in Paris, then all the way to the Amazonian rainforest and the breathtaking Galápagos Islands. 

 

Closer to home, we braved the Alps 2 Ocean trail in stunning New Zealand and discovered the wonder of crossing the Nullarbor while playing the world’s longest golf course. As our travels unfolded, Tracy and I began to ponder what makes life important, think deeply about what makes us who we are, and together come to understand life’s ultimate question – who do we want to be?
