It was a real sense of achievement for the writer when she reached the Tiger's Nest Monastery that clings precariously on a cliff above Paro valley in Bhutan. Photos: Caroline Peter
I went travelling all by myself for the first time in 2010, after a colleague from Sri Lanka kept encouraging me to visit her country. Like most over-protective families, mine was not too happy with my decision to travel solo. I had asked them to come with me but never got a favourable response, so I told myself to stop allowing people to delay my own desires to travel and see places.
To prepare for the journey, I informed my colleague that I would be visiting her country and would need her help with an itinerary, as well with finding good hotels and trustworthy guides. She gave me all the information I needed and I researched every place she suggested; I even called the hotels to make sure that my booking was confirmed!
