Welcome to my blog!
I’m Jim. After a divorce and then an unexpected layoff, just a couple years prior to retirement, I decided to jump start my retirement dream of living in Europe. After a trip to Spain, and specifically Valencia, I felt I had found my home. Lots of folks have asked to follow my adventures. So, Adventures in Europe was created. Feel free to follow along!
