Deborah lives and breathes travel and is the voice of the over 50 solo female who loves to travel independently. She came to solo travel later in life after an unexpected divorce left her holding 2 tickets for a trip of a lifetime to Borneo. Being a feisty northerner she thought, sod it, she wasn’t going to lose the deposit, she would go alone. That first solo trip had many highs and plenty of lows but turned out to be one of the most inspirational and fabulous adventures of Deborah’s life and she’s been travelling solo, in her own independent style, ever since.
Deborah started Solo In Style, a community for the over 50 solo female traveller, where she blogs about her adventures and shares her personal experiences and tips with the hope of inspiring and encouraging other ‘mature’ ladies to be confident to choose the style of travel that they really want and to start their own solo travel adventures.
A guest writer and blogger, she is in demand for interviews and commentary on the recent boom in the over 50 solo female travel market. As a knowledgeable, humorous and entertaining speaker, Deborah’s inspirational presentations will enhance any program or event.
