Hello, I'm Clare – a born and bred Aussie passionate about exploring the world. Throughout my life, I've been fortunate to travel extensively, living and working in various countries such as Uganda, the UK, Malta, the United Arab Emirates, and South Africa. As a tourist, I've ventured to India (several times), Nepal, the USA, China, Canada, Yemen, and many other countries.

In December 1999, my husband and I embarked on an overland journey from London to Uganda in our trusty Mitsubishi 4x4, travelling through Europe, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya and ultimately arriving in Uganda in August 2000, where we settled.

Now, at age 58, I find myself on a journey of self-discovery, embracing a new phase in my life. Join me as I break away from societal norms and embark on an exhilarating adventure of rediscovery, embracing the unknown with open arms.

Each moment adds colour to my story, from thrilling experiences like paragliding over stunning landscapes in Himachal Pradesh and Nepal to etching tales of resilience through vibrant tattoos.

Beyond being an adventurer, I'm also an avid documentary and travel photographer, capturing the essence of diverse cultures and documenting the remarkable stories of the people I meet. Whether in India's lively markets or Uganda's sweeping landscapes, my camera serves as a bridge, connecting hearts and fostering unity through shared experiences.

But this journey isn't just about travel—it's a testament to life's endless possibilities beyond a certain age. It's about reinventing oneself, chasing dreams, and embracing the richness of life at every turn. Life after 58 isn't a decline; it's an exhilarating ascent to new heights, with a few hiccups along the way, filled with extraordinary moments waiting to be embraced.

Join me as I explore the world, liberated and unafraid (okay, maybe a little bit afraid), celebrating the magic of waking up each morning to live another day. Together, let's cherish the wonders of our world and seize every opportunity it presents. Because beyond the milestone of 58 lies a realm of boundless potential, and I'm here to show just how remarkable it can be. Live your life the best way you possibly can. We don't know what tomorrow will bring.

My arm filigree tattoo, seen in the photo, was also created by him. You can glimpse the Fairy Queen in the top left of this photo. © Manish Sehrawat/Gulshan Hansdah
