Hello, fellow explorers!

I’m Jen – owner of Divine Sunshine Travel agency. I’ve been traveling the world for over 30 years and have explored over 20 countries on this beautiful earth! I have found my calling to help others experience all this world has to offer, too!

If you’re an active Catholic traveler, finding yourself with a little more time now that your children aren’t so young or are recently retired and are ready to embark on adventures of a lifetime that you’ve been putting off, you’ve come to the right place! I’m thrilled to introduce this new travel blog specifically designed for those who want to start traveling more now that your calendar has opened up a bit!

Life after the kids have flown the coop or even retirement opens up a world of new opportunities. With more time on your hands, it’s the perfect moment to nurture your wanderlust and dive into the joy of travel while you’re still able and desire to explore! Whether you’re dreaming of a peaceful pilgrimage, an adventurous family getaway, or simply a luxury vacation that suits your lifestyle, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Our blog is dedicated to providing content tailored to your unique needs and desires, featuring:

Catholic-Centered Travel: We’ll guide you to faith-inspired destinations, from grand cathedrals and holy sites to serene retreats and pilgrimages that nurture your spiritual journey.
Multi-Generational Travel: Traveling with family is one of life’s greatest blessings. We’ll offer tips for creating unforgettable experiences for all generations, whether it’s a quiet getaway with your spouse or a lively trip with your grandchildren.
Luxury Travel: You’ve worked hard to enjoy these years, so why not indulge in a little luxury? We’ll share recommendations for comfortable accommodations, first-class travel options, and exclusive experiences designed with retirees in mind.
Practical Travel Tips: From budgeting to packing light, we’ll give you practical advice that makes travel easy and enjoyable, no matter where you go.

Why Travel Now?

Retirement or becoming an empty nester or even just enjoying a phase in life where your children are more independent, is not the end of adventure-it’s the beginning of a new chapter! Traveling during these years allows you to reconnect with your faith, create lasting memories with loved ones, and experience the world in ways you never imagined. Plus, there’s something truly special about the freedom that comes with having time to explore at your own pace.

We’d love for you to be a part of our growing community of Catholic travelers. Feel free to share your own experiences, ask questions, and connect with other like-minded individuals who share your passion for travel and faith. Whether you’re planning your first pilgrimage or your next luxury vacation, this space is for you. If you want to engage with the community even more, join us over in this exclusive facebook group for other Catholic adventurers staying young through travel!

Let’s Explore Together!

So, what are you waiting for? Your next adventure is out there, and we’re here to help you make it happen. Stay tuned for upcoming posts, travel guides, tips, and so much more. Together, let’s make these upcoming years the most exciting and fulfilling yet!

In the meantime, I’m here to plan your next trip – whether it be a cruise to the Caribbean to get out of the cold weather, a custom 4 week Christmas Market trip to Europe, Pilgrimages (both independent and group), journeys to homes of the Saints or spectacular Cathedrals! There are so many choices and so many scammers that working with a travel agent in 2025 is a no brainer!
