GenX Adventurer
As a GenX woman over 50, I escaped the corporate world, became a divorcee, and an empty nester all in the span of two years. Whew!! After recovering from those life-changing events, I began to reinvent my life with more adventure, enjoyable work, and new people. It was in 2021 that I discovered the world of seasonal work where I live and work in some of the most beautiful places in the US. Today, I am encouraging women to join me in this adventure-filled lifestyle.
