    Yes, I’m 65 years of age and I moved from Hawaii (my home) to Mexico 2 1/2 years ago. I am a Senior, Disabled Female Solo Traveler. It can be difficult being disabled, however, I am not going to sit in a room all day feeling sorry for myself and having no life. I will keep going “till the wheels fall off”.

    Its 9:30 at night here in Toronto, Canada, and I just found your channel and was so charmed, I suscribed to you. I am turning 70 this year and I have to tell you I was fascinated with your story. As a Gemini, I have always had an adventerous spirit but it was always tempered by my cusp Taurus which stands for nest building and caution.🙂Like you, I was an only child and always wanted to teach. Went to university and got very discouraged. I married late in life, got divorced and have 3 loving sons. You really touched a spot in my heart with your story Janice. Have always loved the French language. Canada being bilingual, we took it in high school and I carried it on in university. Sadly, I did have an ear for languages but never used my abilities. I learned Italian and became fairly fluent in my marriage mostly through my language skills. I still understand a lot of French but do not practice it any more. It has always been my dream to visit Paris but the closest I got to it was when my mom and I went on her bucket list trip to see where I was born in the UK. (that's another saga). I find winters very hard now up here in Canada and just came back from a trip south. You have whet my travel appetite. Who knows? Maybe one day soon I will have the pleasure of meeting you. Also absolutely LUUV a Texas accent.🥰

    You’re my hero Janice! I’ve been dreaming of living in Paris for years. I’m almost 63, and although am an American citizen, I was born in Europe and have an EU passport. Fear has kept me from going forward with my dream, and once the Pandemic hit, the thought of something like this happening while all alone in Europe paralyzed me even more. And now the uncertainty with the war in Ukraine (poor souls, praying for them) has me thinking again if I will ever be brave enough to make the move and leave my comfortable, though not satisfying current life. You are a lovely lady and I’m sure you’ll be fine, but I am not very social and I don’t know if I’d be able to be all alone in another continent. I’ll keep watching you to get inspired, and perhaps one day, I’ll meet you in France!

I visited back in 2000 and fell in love with the country especially the food and the wine and the French way of life. I will let nothing hold me back this year. Looking forward to your next videos ( living in France on a budget.) BTW I find your accent charming and comforting.

    I did not say women who didn’t want to be mothers were selfish. I said I was a selfish person and that’s one reason why I chose not to have children. There was no shame or blame put on anyone else. I just knew at a younger age I was too selfish to give of myself to be a mom because if you are a mom you know what it’s like you have to give 110%. I was able to do that I had an older age.

    @@JaniceInFrance Yes I understood. But you still labeled your choices at the time as "selfish" . Which has a negative connotation, For yourself and others. I just feel that we all need to stop putting negative labels on our choices in life for ourselves and others. Why not just say, I was at a time in my life when I was focused on other areas? Why is that selfish? We are from an older generation, myself included where we were too quick to label people and situations. The younger generations are evolving past this and maybe we should try to as well!. In any case I love your videos and hope to retire to France myself someday soon. 🙏

    Hello Janice, I just wanted to tell you, how much I admire your courage and determination for your adventure. I am an almost 70 yr old Canadian lady who discovered France a few years ago, when my husband and I planned and had an amazing Adventure to several different parts of France. We truly fell in love with France and it’s culture. It seems so strange to us how a very colloquial couple such as ourselves could be so drawn to this place so far away. Before we left, we knew we would return,but then the world took some serious twists and we are still planning our return. I am so happy for you taking this plunge, with all its challenges and absolute thrills. We hope we can perhaps visit you some time soon. I had viewed pictures of Chateau Fountain Bleu before our first visit, but prioritized other sights to pack into our time there. I simply did not wish to visit Versailles like so many tourists. All its glided mirrors and hallways were such evidence of the misery that existed during its heyday. Fountaine bleu seemed somehow different, just a different vibe from area. I understand now after visiting France that I definitely have had many life experiences there at one time and I just bonded with the countryside as though I had finally returned to a very beloved home even though I know I have never traveled far from my Canadian home before. Awaiting and dreaming still for us , our return to a place we grew to love so very quickly. Wishing you much love and happiness, and so many thanks for sharing your life experiences both past and present.

    Hello, Janice in France, I love your zest for living. Like you, I love to discover new places. I am also a single parent and did all my travels solo. In my early sixties, I visited Montpellier. I landed in Paris took the train to Montpellier. On my way back home I stayed a week in Paris, I did the Louvre, walked half way up the Eiffel Tower, and continued to the top via the elevator; visited some other tourist attractions, etc. When I was in the South of France, I was fantasizing about moving there. (I then got that bug out of my system). After spending three weeks in Portugal I was making plans to spend most of the Canadian winters in Portugal; then Covid happened. As a solo traveller, I have done a fair bit of traveling across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa but always wanted to stay for longer periods in one country. I will be 70 in a few weeks and felt rob of some good travel years due to Covid. Your Vlog is my renewed inspiration that at 70 years one can still follow through with big and bold dreams.

    Janice, I feel so similar to you about not being satisfied and always wanting more and working for it! I never thought I would be getting my masters but here I am doing it. I moved to France to be an English teaching assistant back in 2021 in Bordeaux and boy was it not what I thought it would be. I hated my job, I was unable to find accommodation so I had to share a place on the school campus I worked at with a very bad roommate, and all in all, I ended up leaving France that same year. I still have the same dream of going back to live for longer (preferably in the south too!) and I am trying to make it happen for 1-2 years from now, only with a better job!! and a better living situation. I admire your resilience and determination moving to France. I am 23 and fear missing valuable time with my parents by moving to France, but at the same time, it's what my heart wants. Ive been watching your videos but still dont understand how you landed such a great apartment and so quickly. In Bordeaux, I went to every single real estate agency there was in the city and outer areas and not one said they could help me due to not having a full time job. And I speak French!!! This is why I am now looking for a full time job in France before going so it will hopefully be easier, and in my field. I wish I was born with a dream that was a little bit easier but France is what my heart has been set on since I was 13 years old.

I had seen this apartment in 2018 when I went on a six weeks solo trip when I couldn’t find anything for days and days I would search online then finally I called my landlord and asked if this would be available and they said yes it was just Lady luck and God watching over me.

The difference is I’ve had Colon Cancer for 6 years and had to raise my 2 children alone after divorce. Fortunately, my daughter still lives with me as I’m starting to need some serious help. Done with about me. I do admire you and wish you all the best. However, I have been keeping up with your podcast very regularly but recently I’ve missed a few days and now that I’m back you have so many new podcast’s I don’t know where to start, Sigh!!

    Hi Janice, I'm a new follower.... It's so inspirational to see your videos and learning about the process is great! I'm 58 and my husband is 65 and we want to retire in Italy. I feel that if we stay here in the states we're both going to end up in a nursing home. I'm tired of living in the rat race and working for a short little vacation or no vacation! We used to travel so much when we first got together and through the early part of our careers. We went for a period of about 20 years without really traveling once or twice here and there but we miss it so much and we realize that we need the adventure back in our lives! I hope that it will keep us active and our minds young! It's a little scary to think about growing old in a foreign country but it's also exciting and I'm hopeful that we can do it! You give us hope!

    I so enjoy listening to your stories. My mother,who is 98 and just waiting for death, never did anything in her life and always criticized me saying I was chronically unsatisfied with things. Janice , I have lived all over the U.S and each year, with the exception of 2020, my birthday gift to myself is a trip to a new country. I believe there are some of us that understand that life is very short and if you don't hurry and extract all the flavor you can from it your time runs out.
