Embark on a journey into midlife travel, minimalist packing, and solo female adventure with Katherine Leamy, also known as the 5 Kilo Traveller. In this episode, Katherine shares with us practical packing tips, travel light strategies, and confidence-building advice for women who want to explore the world at any age. We will cover: Midlife travel and the freedom of starting new adventures at any age Solo female travel tips for confidence, safety, and independence The philosophy of packing light and why it makes travel easier How to create a versatile travel wardrobe with multi-purpose clothing and layering Toiletries, medications, shoes, and essentials: what to pack and what to leave behind The mental shift behind minimalist travel and letting go of overpacking Women supporting women through travel stories, community, and inspiration And remember, it’s never too late to start your solo journey. Stay curious, stay adventurous, and keep lightening your load, physically and mentally! Resources & Links-Connect with Katherine Leamy: Katherine Leamy Award-Winning Author The5kilotraveller.com | Helping you carry less: http://the5kilotraveller.com/ Book: Dare to Travel Solo: Exploring Croatia and Italy with a lightweight carry-on bag and a ton of determination: https://www.the5kilotraveller.com/buy-the-book/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/the5kilotraveller/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/the5kilotraveller/ Our Key Insights: Katherine recommends packing no more than 5 kilos for lightweight travel, making it easier to move through airports, trains, and city streets. Packing light supports solo travel by reducing stress, increasing mobility, and helping travellers feel more confident and prepared. Unpacking immediately on arrival can help you feel settled, organised, and at home, even when travelling solo. Solo travel in midlife can be a powerful act of independence, self-trust, and reinvention. Women over 50 can travel boldly, explore safely, and embrace freedom without waiting for the “perfect” time. Minimalist packing is about more than luggage — it’s about simplifying travel and creating space for richer experiences. Share the love-Like, comment, and subscribe.

I love sharing local gems from my very own backyard and you can’t get any closer than my hometown-Paeroa. Here local artist Micheal O’Donnel (pottery and sculpture) has been giving space to share not only some of his works, but his story. This is gallery is only open for a limited time. So if you are traveling through Paeroa check it out. @haurakirailtrail @thecoromandel #localgems #newzealandtravel #haurakirailtrail #goodforyoursoul #travelauthentic

Feeling a bit under the weather? Here are some of my favourite handy products you can grab from a supermarket or pharmacy in Bali VITAMIN C Vit C tablets. These little beauties are great to take if you’re feel a cold coming on and available in small per unit quantities. Tastes great too! THE MAGIC STUFF TOLAKANGIN-Herbal Medicine for Colds,and Honey for the Bodies Immune System. Small sachets of herbal tonic, it doesn’t taste great but it’s easy to take. Great immunity boost, so good if you you have a cold or start to feel one coming on CHARCOAL TABLETS Norit-For tummy issues. Can relieve intestinal gas and bloating, and eases certain types of Diarrhoea. (But seek professional advice if symptoms worsen) STUFFY NOSE-ITCHY BITES? PLOSSA-PRESS & SOOTHE AROMATICS (There are other brands) They have “roll on”and a “smelling” ends and I love using this to soothe itchy bites with the roll-on. Follow along for more travel tips and advice especially for your midlife travels or those thinking about solo traveling later in life! #balitraveltips #travelwellness #solofemaletraveler #travelcoaching #midlifetravel
