About My Blog and Me
Let's Get Aquainted
This blog came out of from my experiences who loves to travel, especially cruising. Now we could pretend PTSD stands for Planes, Trains, Ships and Days Out, but as a suffer from my time in the British Army, it does not.
As we know, we do not always see the world as others see it, sometimes with humour other times with amazement.
Already owning Your Dream Holiday with its fully bookable website and several social media site, need an outlet to expand. I have written three books published on Amazon called ‘Poetry from the PTSD Mind’ & The Lighter Side of Cruising parts one & two.
Follow me on several journeys as we look at cruising/Travel from the mind of a Post-traumatic Stress Disorder suffer.
As a visitor here, you are part of a fantastic community of like-minded people who love to escape from the world in the form of Travel. There are a lot of Veterans who have their journeys to tell; this site is about mine. There will be space to have your say in our guest blogs about travel.
Plus being the Travel Director/Owner of Your Dream Holiday, tell me what you’d like from your holiday, and I'll sort everything for you. Whatever you want, whatever your budget, I'll take care of it. Plus for your peace of mind, all our Holidays are ABTA & ATOL Protected.
Thank you so much for being part of this community. There are plenty of ways that you can become more involved, including sending your Travel Blog or following me on social media. Keep an eye out for some exclusive travel deals only on this site.
