Solo Senior’s last days on the beautiful coast of Oregon #solofemaletraveller
After spending 3 weeks in Oregon, it was time for this solo senior traveller to start heading north through Washington and make my way back to Canada. It was a sad day for sure as I fell in love wth the Oregon coast. I also had a great discussion on my Camino that I walked back in 2017. It's always a pleasure to meet fellow travelers.

Hi I'm Donna, and I kicked off my retirement taking an amazing trip adventuring from Alberta to the east coast of Canada, solo camping along the way in my 2020 Transit Connect Camper van.
As a widow, it was important for me to take this journey, as not everyone gets to reach this point in life, something I have not taken for granted....

    Hey Donna, it was such a joy watching your video! Looked like you had a perfect day sitting by the beach with your coffee, and then heading up to that column in Oregon. Those stairs though-wow! I don’t know if I could have tackled all those, but the views must have been worth it! I hope you’re having a wonderful time out there, and thanks for sharing your adventure-it was really enjoyable to watch.

    That is my favorite place on Earth. My daughter used to live in Astoria OR for few years while going to school and I fell in love with the area while visiting her and eventually took over her apartment after she moved to Bellingham WA for more school. I ended up in Bellingham WA as well but looking to move back to Oregon Coast because that is where my heart was left. I am glad you enjoyed that special place on Earth.

      If you haven’t already join Vanlife in Alberta Facebook page. I suspect there will be one in April next year. This was Jackie’s first meetup and I just happened to come across her post on Instagram (which I don’t use often) and joined the group. I met Jackie back last April at the Drumheller meetup. Now that my page is growing, when I hear of one I will post info on these meetups.
