Author: Janny

As I was made redundant in 2020 I started a travel blog documenting our journey to get back to Queensland from NSW, "pandemicroadtrip". I since have added additional travel notes, as well as a series of blogs on practical career advice after realising that most blogs from 50+ women are focussing on lifestyle, not on sharing our accumulated experiences. We are now settled on the Queensland Sunshine Coast Hinterland, and each day I can't believe I am actually living here.
