Today’s Destination is Coventry, England

Today’s Misstep- Manila Airport was a disaster

Travel Advice: Bring the thing you usually forget

 

FAQ: What are some simple exercises for travelers, especially solo females in their prime? Here are five I recommend:

1. Walking: Aim for a daily walk to explore your surroundings. It's an easy way to keep your body moving and enjoy the local sights.

2. Leg and Ankle Stretches: Sitting stretches are perfect for waiting in lines or resting. Flex and extend your ankles, or gently lift and lower your legs.

3. Back and Shoulderstretches: Do these to prevent hunching over bags or phones. Raise your arms and clasp your hands above your head, then lean side to side.

4. Wall Push-Ups: Quick and easy in a hotel room, these push-ups are great for keeping your upper body toned.

5. Balance Exercises: Practicing standing on one foot helps with stability and balance and is useful for navigating uneven terrain.

Adding small moments of movement throughout your day will help keep you flexible and energized during your travels. Let me know how you did with these. I’m not a medical doctor, but I do a lot of these.

The original structure was bombed during WWII, but the modernist new cathedral, designed by Sir Basil Spence, stands alongside it. The space feels both contemplative and awe-inspiring.
