GREAT TRAVEL READS by New Zealand Author Annemarie Rawson
Before you head off to the UK (or Europe), make sure you read a copy of Annemarie's latest book, Late Life Adventures in London and Beyond. You’ll discover places you want add to your itinerary and be inspired to live and embrace life to the max – no matter what your age. It’s also a great armchair read!
Reviews
“As ever, this book is written in Annemarie’s easy to read, conversational style. The mix of everyday life, fascinating trips with historical snippets and food, are superb!”
“Annemarie has a happy knack of bonding with people and becoming close to them.”
“Not only are the locations and events vividly depicted, there’s the added bonus of a click to a photo album at the end of each month.”
“It was like going on vacation with Annemarie and after reading her book, I now want to visit Hampton Court Palace and sit in the Petersham Nurseries garden room, sipping coffee and devouring a raspberry and lemon muffin.”
“You write as if you’re sat next to me and I’m now badgering my husband to book a trip to Malta. Having read your account of it, I can’t wait to see it for myself. Thank you!”

Annemarie's first two books "My French Platter" and "My French Platter Replenished" will have you drooling over the food and wanting to immerse yourself in the French countryside, sipping a glass of crisp, pale rosé. Upping sticks in their early 50s and moving to a foreign country as estate managers was exciting for Annemarie and Steve but it didn’t take long for reality to hit.
Travel with them as they negotiated their way through relations with a belligerent boss but loving the French people, the markets, those that came to stay, as well as the countryside around them.
With over 1,000 Amazon reviews each and thousands of books sold, indulge yourself in the food, the ambiance, the villages and daily life.

To celebrate International Women's Day, lets dream about our next international travel destination, that is hopefully, not too far away!

Did you know that women make close to 85 percent of all travel decisions: where to go, when to fly, where to stay, what to see; they are also lion’s share of the tourism workforce. 😮

We wanted to take time on International Women’s Day to say thank you to all the women making travel decisions, whether they are the family planner, designated group trip organiser, a travel advisor, or anything else in between.

Travel can be complicated at the best of times, but in the current climate there is much more to consider. Thank you for working hard to keep everyone safe as they go out and explore and experience all the great things travel allows.

Happy International Women's Day! ♀️
