I was 54 and realised that life is very short and precious. If I had even the tiniest spark of a dream, I owed it to myself to try and make that dream come true.
Brave Enough - A Journey Home to Joy
​
Hello and welcome!
​
It is so lovely to meet you here and thank you for stopping by.
​
My name is Jo and I'm a bestselling author, award winning tiny film maker, speaker, podcaster, panel host and freelance creative.
I’m the founder of the Life to the Full - Celebrating Sixty newsletter.
I share the joy of being 60, how the outdoors can help us feel good and age well, solo travel and making a positive difference in the world.
​
Author: I have written two bestselling books about beautiful places to Paddleboard: Stand Up Paddleboarding in Great Britain - Beautiful Places to Paddleboard in England, Scotland and Wales (2022) and Stand Up Paddleboarding in the Lake District - Beautiful Places to Paddleboard in Cumbria (2024).

​
Creative: I work with clients to create engaging, authentic and successful campaigns to share their brand stories, including Inghams Walking, Lovat Parks, Staysure Travel Insurance, 2 Minute Foundation and Macs Adventure.
My specialty is solo travel, adventure and wellbeing in our 50s, 60s and 70s.
​
Speaker and Panel Host: I'm a popular and experienced speaker at adventure, boatlife and wellbeing festivals, the Royal Geographic Society, beautiful bookshops, women's health and business groups.
In 2025 I curated and hosted the hugely popular panel “You’re Not Too Old and It’s Not Too Late” at the National Outdoor Expo, Birmingham.
​
Filmmaker: my short award winning iPhone films Found at Sea and Finding Joy share the health and happiness the outdoors can bring in midlife.
Award winning film maker Frit Tam of Passion Fruit Pictures created the film about my coast to coast Brave Enough - A Journey Home to Joy: You can watch the trailer and buy or rent the film here.
​
Giving Back: I paddleboarded 162 miles coast to coast for 2MinuteBeachClean and The Wave Project, rowed a million metres and marathon for Macmillan Cancer Support and climbed Everest in a Month in my backyard for the Skipton Foodbank.
​
I am an ambassador for Seaful Charity and Patron of The National Women's Register. I write a quarterly column for SUP Mag UK called Paddleboarding for Good.
​
My message: I believe ageing is a privilege, that we're not too old and it's never too late to build a joyful, creative and adventurous life on our own terms and make a positive difference in the world.
My hope is that you’ll feel braver, uplifted and encouraged after being here.
Let's live life to the full, turn your dreams into reality and enjoy the journey together. We can do it!
