Reading our travel handbook in this issue had me

itching to hit the road. There are so many brilliant

reasons to change locations and venture out into

the world. And while I love to dream big in this

department, I have to confess that the process of

actually getting away often puts me in a spin:

checking and rechecking airline websites for the

cheapest flights, deliberating over the best place to stay, worrying about

myself or the kids getting sick – before, during or after the trip – figuring

out what will be enjoyable for grown-ups and children alike... By the time

I leave I need a holiday to recover from my holiday planning.

For many of us (particularly control freaks like me), it also requires

being brave about leaving our comfort zones. As soon as we leap into the

unknown we have to surrender to the universe. Best-laid plans will almost

certainly go awry – but sometimes, that’s exactly what we need. In her book

Ish, Lynne Cazaly explains that we need to forget about making everything

‘just so’, let our standards drop on the things that don’t matter (like trying

to plan everything perfectly) and clear the way for the things that truly

bring fulfilment (see page 124 for more).

Of course, even if we don’t go past the front door we’re not

protected from life throwing us challenges. In her feature on

being ‘anti-fragile’ (page 102), Sophia Auld discovers that

it’s when things do go pear-shaped that we can evolve

into the best version of ourselves. Not merely surviving

but becoming stronger, wiser, even happier as a result.

So in the spirit of adventure, I’m heading off to India

and then on to Malaysia. I know it will be great to have

a change of scene – once I’ve stopped panicking

about what to pack – and come home with a new

perspective too. I look forward to sharing some tales

with you once I do.
