Jeanne N. Devine

I’m Jeanne, and this channel is about traveling independently in retirement — without tour groups, rigid schedules, or feeling rushed.

What started as intimidating quickly became one of the most joyful and empowering experiences of my life. Here, I share real travel stories, lessons I’ve learned, and how I plan meaningful trips that feel special and memorable, with or without a travel companion. 

I take cruises and independent trips on my own, always adding a small splurge that makes each journey unforgettable. My goal is to show that travel in retirement doesn’t have to be scary — it can be exciting, fulfilling, and deeply rewarding.

I share:

Solo travel stories and personal experiences

Independent travel in retirement

First-time solo travel lessons

Simple splurges that elevate each trip

How to choose destinations and build itineraries you’ll truly love

Safety tips and scam-avoidance 

This channel is for retirees who want joyful travel experiences on their own terms.
