A Global Pandemic forces Early Retirement, but what do you do when the borders are closed and your have moved out of your home…. in our case, you start an Epic Roadtrip of NSW.
And, once you finally reach your destination, and you are not allowed to travel overseas, you buy a new house and start renovating, you start reminiscing about what you did in the “Before Time” and the amazing travels you did in recent years
When I got back to travelling, I noticed that women over 50 mainly seem to have lifestyle type blogs. There isn’t much capturing our experiences and provide practical career advice. So I started to add those to my blog.
Note: these hints and tips come from my own experience. I am not sponsored by anybody!

- 2018 Ethiopia Roadtrip
- 2019 India
