About Widow on the Waves

Who am I?

I'm Tricia, I have journeyed through life, gathering experiences and stories over the past 50 years in the travel industry. From being a young tour guide to holding various roles in the travel industry.

My passion for travel has helped me so much in the face of personal loss. I became a widow recently, an event that was devastating.  But now, alone and a little apprehensive, I've decided to travel again as I believe travel can be a healing experience.  Follow me as I endeavour to explore and travel solo.

Why 'Widow on the Waves'?

Widowhood is not the end; it's a new beginning. 'Widow on the Waves' was born from the desire to share my experiences of travelling solo, particularly after my husband's passing.

The 'waves' in the title isn't just a reflection of my love for cruising; it's a symbol of life's ups and downs, ebbs and flows. It's about navigating through them and enjoying the voyage, regardless of the destination.

Travelling as a Widow

Travelling solo is an adventure on its own. When you couple that with the emotions and changes that come with being a widow, it's a different journey altogether. On this blog, I share the challenges, surprises, learnings, and joys that come with solo travel as a widow.

Cruising and Beyond

While cruising is my particular favourite (there's just something magical about being either on, or next to the sea), I will share my experiences of exploring, one place at a time.

A Resource for You

Above all, 'Widow on the Waves' is a resource for you. Whether you're a widow, a solo traveller, or anyone seeking to explore the world, this blog is for you.
