I want to tell a family member about you and your experiences but I don’t want her to be upset with me. How can I have her read your blog?

I loved reading this thought-provoking post which all resonated with me. Annette covers so many issues here and I learned a lot. It’s so important to maintain the dialogue about diversity and inclusion (in all of its forms) so we can try to become a better, more tolerant and accepting world. As a 50+ traveller though, I seem to have the opposite problem to Annette – once you hit 50, it seems that the gift of the invisibility cloak arrives, which brings its own challenges!
