PART 1

PARIS, VENICE & THE ORIENT EXPRESS IN REAL LIFE

A New series of non-fiction travel stories starting with Paris, Venice & the Orient Express

Luxury trains. Iconic cities. Once-in-a-lifetime price tags.
My daughter Olivia narrated The Children of Pisces audiobooks for me and was asked how she wanted to be paid. Her answer was simple: memories and travel. Her greatest dream? A journey on the Orient Express. This book begins there.
From the streets of Paris to the canals of Venice — and aboard one of the world’s most famous trains — I take you with us to explore what luxury travel really feels like. A single mother, writer, and seasoned global IT project manager who has travelled extensively with major companies, I have spent a lifetime crossing borders for both work and wonder. Now, I ask a deeper question: what is the true value of travel as rising costs and climate-related restrictions make it increasingly difficult for so many?

Warm, witty, and refreshingly real, this is part travel memoir, part practical reflection, and part love letter to seeing the world together — without pretending it is perfect. Inside are practical tips for making travel work while managing chronic health conditions, reflections on what journeys truly teach us, honest conversations about school holiday pricing, opportunities for deeper family bonding, and the educational value of travel for children.
Whether you are planning your own dream trip or travelling from the comfort of your sofa, this book will help you decide:
So… Is It Worth It?
