Travel has fast become an obsession, kind of like my love of Art, which I wrote about in last month’s issue. And when it's time to check out another part of the country or even the world and explore a new place or culture, there is nothing like the freedom of solo travel. In fact, as I rush meet the deadline to submit this article (and shake off serious jetlag) I am sitting with my laptop, taking in the sun and sea breeze on a tiny wrought iron balcony of a lovely little flat that I rented near the port of Nice, France, where I will be spending the next 5 weeks traveling, exploring and living in Cote d'Azur bliss … all by myself.
