    What I’d like to achieve with this blog…….

    July 23, 2017

    I had made some bad decisions in recent years which led me to having to sell my flat in West London. That day in May 2015 was the day I decided that once my flat sold I would go travelling. I had never gone away for more than 3 weeks. I wasn’t in a relationship, I didn’t have kids, I wasn’t working……….so why not?

    I decided to go travelling for 4 months although it actually ended up being 6 and even then I wasn’t quite ready to come back to the UK. It was during this trip that I had the idea to start this blog, I met people who were amazed that I was able to travel the way I was and sadly I am aware that some people never leave their homes once they have an ostomy (this term covers Colostomy and Ileostomy) I think that there is a view that having a bag can mean that you are no longer able to live the life you want.

    My aim with this blog is to show that with a bit of planning and determination you can do anything and go anywhere you want. I will be writing about how having an ileostomy effects my eating, exercising, travelling and life in general. I’m no journalist or writer but I will be as open and honest as I possibly can be so at times I will be talking about pooh, bodily functions and bad smells; if that kind of thing makes you feel queasy then read with caution!!
