Follow the adventures of Scarlet Jones.
Travelling the world, attempting to learn Spanish and volunteering in various different projects, Scarlet never simply travelled, but she took the time to interact with people and she did her best to discover what made them tick.
In this blog you can read about the unusual and the different, the funny and the sad. Travelling solo for the most part, the blog documents a journey of personal discovery, adventure and the most fantastic experiences prior to that fateful time at the beginning of 2020 when the world became a much smaller place for most of us.
As things have evolved in Scarlet’s life and travel, for now, plays a lesser role but the lessons are still there. Building self confidence, healing from pain and abuse and learning about one’s self – these things are still important and have played a key part in moving Scarlet Jones into her role as Jane Clements Life Coach.
I hope you enjoy these travel stories.

1. Lace hankies and floodwater – finding myself in India
I wrote this article just one year after I the breakup of my marriage back in 2010. I booked my trip to India with Explore and I travelled with a wonderful group of people, and whilst it’s a cliché, India truly was a life-changing experience for me. My children had...
