What we’re about
Welcome Empty Nesters!
There's so much joy to be found when you "Embrace the Empty Nest"!
This is a community for Empty Nesters who are ready to get out and explore the world and do it with like minded people.
Time to take off- whether you've just sent your last child off to college, or you recently retired, exploring the world is an amazing way to enjoy your empty nest status! Come on and embrace the freedom of Empty NestedNESS (lol)!! Let's get together and make new plans with some fellow empty nest buddies!
We are a group who love good conversations, food, wine, good books, travel and experiences around the globe (virtually or in-person). If this is you or who you want to be, please join us.
We are an inclusive and friendly bunch, so never feel shy around us. Be sure to add my email address: francine@mygemtravel.com to your contacts so my emails don’t end up in your spam folder. You won’t want to miss my emails.
While we are open to everyone joining, there are 3 Steps to join:
1) Use your real name (first name ok),
2) Have a real photograph of yourself that shows your face as your profile picture. (Event organizers need to be able to recognize you, as do your fellow empty nesters.) That means no puppies (no matter how cute), flowers, vistas toys, anime characters, etc. Just let your own awesome self, shine through in your photo!
- Be an Empty Nester!
Note on Photography: By joining this group, you accept that your photograph may be taken, posted, and possibly tagged with your name at events. If you wish to have an event photo deleted, please contact the Organizer.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Looking forward to meeting you,
Francine Ellis
