Doing Life Differently in Thailand
Debuted as No.1 Best Seller - Non Fiction at Fullers Bookshop, Hobart.
Welcome, lovely to have you here!
I never even knew I had a book in me but it seems as though I did. I see myself more as a teller of stories, an observer of life than an author.
If you’re contemplating solo travel then my wish for you is that this book will inspire and encourage you to do it. If you’re already out there travelling and haven't yet been to Thailand I hope it might be included in your 'must visit' list.
Travelling with an open heart and an open mind makes all the difference.
Much love

Realising in her early fifties that she needed to do life differently for a while, Mel seizes the opportunity of a few months with no responsibilities in her happy place, Thailand.
Among the sun-soaked streets of Phuket’s Kata Beach, she discovers the joys of solo travel and embracing new experiences. From the aromatic flavours of Thai food to the restorative power of the ocean to learning more of the language and the fun of immersing herself in the vibrant culture, Mel takes you with her every step of the way.
At its core, this book is a celebration of courage and curiosity, where each moment is infused with possibility and wonder, inspiring readers to step outside their comfort zones, live life to the full, accept the warmth of genuine human connections and create lifelong memories. It’s a reminder that travel has the power to awaken the senses and nourish the soul.

This little shop is all about WOMEN HELPING WOMEN because when they do, MAGIC HAPPENS!
You'll meet Pui in my book as we met while I was living in Phuket. We instantly became friends as we both love to laugh, chat and think kindness rocks.
Pui was my laundry lady and is the hardest working and most determined person I have ever met. She is a single mum and her only child is 15.
We are working together as a team to build new skills for Pui while she earns some money from the profits of the bags we sell.
We both hope your bag brings a smile to your face each time you use it. xx
