A Little About Me

Hi - I’m Sandra Hawkins, full time blogger of the Travelnanna site. I'm an Aussie based in Phuket, Thailand (currently) and 'nanna' to four adorable grandchildren. I like nothing better than spending time with them and connecting with family.

Apart from family my second love is travel and all things travel related. I travel often and as a solo female traveler over the age of 50, I'd like to not only encourage and assist those of my vintage and older to step out of their comfort zone, but to experience a whole new perspective on life as well.

The purpose of travelnanna.com is to assist my readers in expanding their travel horizons by providing assistance with information, planning, tools, knowledge, guidance and tips. It's my mission to provide travelers with a wealth of resources to travel smart, safely and confidently to destinations around the world.

The site was created to provide a resource for readers to expanding their travel horizon with information, planning, tools, knowledge, guidance and tips. I've made it my mission to provide travelers from around the world with a wealth of resources to travel smart, safely and confidently to their chosen destination.

I have over thirty years experience in the security industry, including electronics, manpower, CCTV and surveillance so my area of expertise is around offering up a range of solutions to help solo travelers - female and male alike to ensure their safety and security remains at the forefront of their travel and holiday planning.

If you'd like to contact me please do as I'd very much like you to share your thoughts, ideas and any special article requests specific to your upcoming travel. If you'd like to be kept up to date with the latest news and information then subscribe to the site today. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks for visiting.
